Now although the movie isn't coming out til April, I'm still gonna discuss what i seen from the trailer, the comic-con footage, and the screen shots posted. Alright first off the over all story is simple, the main character named Dave Lizeswki decides to become a super hero despite not having any powers what so ever. Now the comic and movie are following the same plot, so already its beating WANTED tremendously. However this arc of the story isn't done, its gonna end hopefully this month if not they want to release it closer to the movie, so as for the ending of the film and the end of the comic...its in the air at this point. A quick note on the comic-con trailer, there seems to be scene in which there looks to be a bunch of Red-Mists wielding samurai swords like Kill Bill, so whether or not thats in the last issue of this arc is also in the air. Next comes the characters. Two big differences with Dave in the film and comic are easy to spot. First is the costume, it looks 100% to the comic except the mask, it has an open mouth, giving him more of a Lucha Libre look, however it does give him more expression so I'm cool with it. Next our Hit-girl and Big Daddy, both these costumes are vastly different. Hit-girl has in the comics a pretty basic look, in the trailer and footage it looks more realistic and has a Halloween feel to, also she has a purple wig in the movie and not black pigtails. Big Daddy is a total reversal of the look. In the comic it looks more bulk and makes him look real bad-ass, and in the movie he looks like a a batman rip off, and I LOVE IT. Next is Red-Mist, what have they done. well both are hugely different from each other, not as bad as Big Daddy but its like the silk spectre II costumes from the comic and movie, vastly different from each other, well consider McLovin is playing Red-Mist its gonna be really interesting. As for the footage...what can i say....it seems to be pretty accurate to the comics. Now they may change things to make it more plausible but hey this may the Watchmen of 2010. And well, with all this information that I have, I can't go any further....so.....*does a dance* til next time....my next review will..*drum roll*... The Dark Knight *dramatic chipmunk moment*gotcha..Im not suicidal.lol. My next one will be on oldie but goody...its gonna be a double header....the Rocketeer and the Phantom.

oh and the second difference is Dave's hair color. In the comic he has blond hair and in the movie he has brown curly hair
