Don't bother seeing it if you haven't read the graphic novel. The graphic novel is a masterpiece, one of the greatest pieces of literature to ever come out of the medium, but without that point of reference for understanding the narrative of the film comes across as borderline schizophrenic. There is little transition between ideas, too much jumping about, and little attempt to establish the relevance of any ofi t. I understood it but only insofar as I read the book and I was aware of the missing pieces.
This narrative was not meant to be a movie, and it shows. It borders on incompatible with the medium.
