It was awesome.
For me (a huge film-noir guy) this movie ended up being the wet dream that I hoped it would be.
Now for my one major complaint... which really isn't "major" so I don't know why I said that.
When Hartigan's eyes close while he's hanging and it goes black for like five seconds, in the comicbook they actually go to the credit page so that you think the story is literally over. You see the page of credits and you're like "holy shit! I can't believe it".
I wish they had done that with the movie. I was psyched to see the credit's role for like ten seconds and see people start getting up when it comes back and he's like "No. I won't let it end this way."
That's not much of a complaint though... because if I had never read the comics that would have never occured to me.
I like the way that they connected the comics too... I had been wondering how they would do the thing with Dwight seeing Marv in the bar. How they did it, with the narration turning to Dwight for about a minute before reverting back to Marv was pretty cool.
