It's not my cup of tea, but it's getting some pretty good reviews. I think you'll probably enjoy it if you like the genre. :)

I've heard a lot of discussion about people being up in arms because they say this movie glorifies terrorism.

I just got home from seeing it. I really liked it. Good acting, solid plot, and I thought just generally very well done. Pretty much something for everyone in it. I would definitely recommend it.

I've never read the novel/comic for it, and I may have to go pick it up.

Wayne its on the IMAX Screen Screen is 5 stories tall 7 stories wide--- theater only holds about maybe 100 people, and there is only like 3 in the greater chicago area. Always have to buy tickets in advance.

I've heard similar things. The movie was originally slated for release last summer, but since there are terrorist tube bombings in futuristic London in the movie, they held it back due to the actual terrorist bombings in London last summer. :-?

all things equal see the movie before you make a judgement
yes this was a movie about one man fighting the Government
and yes killing people. BUT in the case of the movie
the Government was way out of line (think Nazi Germany)
