I thought the movie was pretty decent. I didn’t really like the giant extradimensional squid in the book. It lacked reality, which is a weird thing to say about a comic book, but it was the part I didn’t really buy. But yeah, as to the blood in the film, I didn’t much like the blood-burst effect in the movie. It was in a couple of other films that came out around the same time. It’s this year’s Matrix-bullet-time.
