This movie is adapted from a comic book published in 1988, it is set in england and it's general theme is that society must control government, not vice versa. It's not about Bush, it's not about the war in Iraq, and if you can't agree with it's general theme, how can you consider yourself a conservative? Not everything is a liberal conspiracy against Bush and when we constantly claim everything is, all it does is weaken our voice when they do do something bad. Conservatives have to stop crying wolf.

Um, that's what the sociopathic Left is doing. They should oppose actual totalitarianism, not their propaganda creation.

From review....".......including a giant poster of "the Coalition of the Willing," depicting the American and British flags surrounding a swastika."



Sounds like the Matrix Bros put an anti-Iraq war, anti-war on terror spin on this though if there are scenes of "coalition of the willing" showing NAZI flags along with American and British. Something stinks bad. I am a comic fan, I did not read the comic. But it sure sounds to me like its been warped and twisted to fit the leftists politics of today.

Was the koran scene in the comic too? Anyone recall from reading the original?

Umm, the comic book might be from 1988, but that doesn't stop the produces from mangling it to server their purposes, does it? Look at what the b@stards did to Starship Troopers.

Besides, in 1988 it was aimed at Thatcher.

The graphic novel may have had nothing to do with Bush, but the movie does. The script was specificaly re-written as an allegory of the post 9/11 world. And face it, even the original graphic novel was paranoid, leftist crap. Alan Moore basically got paid by DC Comics for ranting against Margaret Thatcher. I'm sooooo glad the DC managment from that period was purged a few years back. That's the crowd that hijacked Batman for the remarkably disgusting anti-gun screed Batman: Seduction Of The Gun.

Mr Vote or Die


We're talking about the MOVIE, not the book.


Easy concept. Thought you would get it....
