I saw the movie today, and I can honestly say that it has been the only movie I've seen this summer that I've thoroughly enjoyed. I wouldn't say that it was the best overall, but personally, I loved it. I read the graphic novels last week while on vacation, and having loved those, I can say that the movie does them justice. Some parts had to be cut out, obviously, due to the fact that the movie is around two hours long, but for the most part it stays faithful. A lot of the lines are kept intact straight from the books. And the Zelda references were friggin' awesome, I bugged the hell out of the people behind me because I was constantly tapping my girlfriend's shoulder going "ZOMFG THAT'S A ZELDA REFERENCE!!!!!".
Every part of the movie rocked, basically. The fight scenes kicked ***, the acting kicked ***, the jokes kicked ***, it was a kick-*** movie, is what I'm trying to communicate. The other friend I went with hadn't read the books and loved the movie, but for whatever reason I don't think that'll be the case for most people. Unlike most movie adaptations, this seems to be meant for fans of the original novels rather than mainstream audiences.
