As is my habit after I wrote this (and after a see a film) I got to see what other critics think. For this film they're spilt right down the middle - many hated it many loved it.
But one stuck out at me... I hate it when a critic lets obvious bias into their judgment. Bob Strauss of the Daily News says this: "The film's writer, Neil Gaiman, and director, Dave McKean, are big names in the graphic novel (i.e., comic books with pretensions) world. "Sandman" was Gaiman's biggest hit; McKean drew the covers." What the hell does "comic books with pretensions" mean? Is that not a valid art form? Is that worth your attention, Bob? You can discount something simply because it's only a pretentious façade on a soulless form of expression? Or am I reading too much into this? ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:176927 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
