Didn't say it wasn't ("...a lot of visual flash and good, fast pacing...")
But please don't tell me that you've become emotionally involved, or that the
Willis or Jovovich characters are ones that will live forever in your heart.

Absolutely. I'm a big fan of "The Sandman" and "Hellblazer", myself.
(Does
anyone remember Matt Wagner's "Mage"?) Unfortunately, the good ones are
outnumbered by the X-Clones and "Big-Boobed Babes in Bras From Hell" comics,
and these are the ones that give the field its rep.

Yes. Exactly. I completely agree. <g>

I use the phrase "animated comic book" advisedly -- much of the visual style
was done by or adapted from Moebius, the guy who did so much work in Heavy
Metal. Maybe I shouldn't have put the sentence "sort of like watching an
animated comic book" right after the phrase "deeply silly", but I'll stick
by
both of them.

Anyway, glad you found a movie you liked.
