I agree that there should have been more blue wang, but the audience just may have not been ready for blue wang in general.

As for the actual movie, I went to it having never read the comic, or actually heard much about it at all till I saw the trailers. I really enjoyed it, but I am a layman when it comes to the original version.

I felt it was the right lenght for a bit of character development without sacrificing some really nice shots, but I think they shot themselves in the foot a bit by trying to make it so graphic.

The dog death and head + cleaver scene. I have not seen something that graphic in anything under 18 rated, and it was rated 15s here for some reason. Usually the camera would focus on the wall, and there would be a sudden blood spatter. This was full on gore detail.

Now I have no problems with gore, I dont flinch, but there were people in front of me that turned away from the screen, and that is not making for good word of mouth, especially if people go to a movie not expecting it.
