I've heard that some people unfamiliar with the graphic novel didn't like the movie because they went in expecting a film about superheroes and action sequences. Instead, they got a film that (I thought) catered to the fanboys, the intellectuals, and the dorks. Jason enjoyed it, but he didn't quite grasp some of the things that I took for granted because I had already read the graphic novel. I also read an article that claimed many people were confused about the time line since the graphic novel switches back and forth between 1985 and 1940, and several years in between in an effort to explain the each character's past. I didn't think it was all that confusing in the movie, nor did Jason, but I've heard people complaining about that as well.
