The special effects look absurdly fake.

That's the point of them. The movie is supposed to look like a comic book. That's the appeal. I'm not sure how far it will take the film, though.

The effects could be better described as 'evocative' than 'fake'. Like Sin City, one of the design goals of this film is to capture a mythic reality, not a photographic one.

Good morning.
"The special effects look absurdly fake."

I got the impression that they were trying to transfer the comic to the screen, as they did with Sin City.
