12. I know no one will listen- but read the comic- it costs $16- and is better
Seriously- if you like the movie- you will LOVE the comic.

The comic is much more human-better character development and the politics are more timeless and subtle. It's not kiddie stuff at all- very political,psychological & sexual.

There is a reason the author called the movie "imbecellic" and had his name removed- it hits you over the head with the concepts rather than letting the viewer figure things out on their own...

Cool movie- and I'm glad they made it- but read the comic- you will be an Alan Moore fan for life if you do.
