I can see how the film would be hard to follow, it was made for the fans of the graphic novel who would have no problem following it. The character development is much more pronounced in the graphic novel, and because of the way the story is told from chapter to chapter it's hard to put that into a cohesive narrative. So i once against suggest reading it. |
It certainly was not marketed that way. I guarantee you a very high majority of people who watched the movie had never read the graphic novel.
"Why read a graphic novel when I can just watch the movie?" is what many people think. You cant make a movie and expect that everyone watching it has already read the novel.
Also, even some people who did read the novel absolutely hated the movie. I'm sure the novel is good from the reviews Ive read, but this movie is trash no matter how you spin it. The author of the novel even took his name off the movie because he didnt want to be associated with it. That's how bad it is.
