I agree, Haley was a perfect Rorschach and an even better Walter Kovacs. The prison scenes were mint. Over all, as a comic fan, I was impressed by what I saw. The first half of the movie was panel perfect. I loved all the characters and the acting was great. 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.
