This is one where a little more time, a couple more viewings, and a lot more space would have been preferable…but we work with what we have. In all honesty, my reaction to the movie may or may not change by year’s end, though I look forward to the extended cuts.
Here you go…
I will add: My friend Bill Handelsman, a critic for KPFK, grew up with comic books but stopped reading them by the ’80s, so he hadn’t read the book. He liked the movie, and totally got out of it everything I got from the comic back in the day.
