My friend, an avid "graphic novel" reader, and a fan of the original book, said they really toned down the storyline for the film. I've yet to see it, but it doesn't sound like it was faithful to the feel of the original story. The novel was gritty and nasty, like Sin City. The film sounds more slick and polished, like, well, the Matrix.

It's been awhile since I read the graphic novel, but the film should be "graphic" enough for most folks. - Audiophilander 09:50:18 03/18/06 (0)
Based upon my recollections, the film is quite faithful to the original source material. The most noticeable change being a slight alteration to the ending Alan Moore's graphic novel, shifting the importance of the mask away from the two central characters, but this was done without compromising key story elements; to say more would be to provide spoilers.
