I don't know where they got the guy who played Dan but he was amazing (might be the fact that he was a favourite of mine in the comic though).
The only things I would complain about were related to them changing the ending. I think that Rorschach's efforts to research the Mask Killer theory are more founded and much more bad ass in the comic. He had other leads, like missing people, a mysterious island and another hero getting killed. That's my only gripe. That said, the new ending is more coherent.
I loved the soundtrack with the exclusion of MCR's Desolation Row. They really should have kept with the plan of not using music made after the 80's
9/10 for me. Very few complaints.

The casting certainly does deserve praise. Haley was great and his raspy voice (unlike some Christian Bale named actors) was spot on. Crudup, was subtle and convincing. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, dark, sardonic, scary yet charasmatic, fantastic in all his different time frame appearances.
Funnily enough the actor that played Nite Owl, was Raoul in the new Phantom of the Opera... where he failed to be the least bit charming. He was more charming as a kind of awkward geeky recluse. |
