1. Excellent NON-SPOILER review here:

The URL gives a small clue as to what the reviewer thought of the movie. :evilgrin:

3. Are there any spoilers in the review you linked?

I was afraid to look.

Of course, according to Wil, there are only about 3 minor differences between the film and the graphic novel, so if you've read that I guess you won't have any surprises. :hi:

4. No. Got a big spoiler on the phone this morning, from one of the visual FX guys
...I was interviewing for an article.

But my lips are sealed on that count. ;-)

The Times review is a pretty safe one, if you don't know the source material already...

6. It's about that changed ending....

...which they've made no secret as being different from the book.

The FX guy talked about the change, and frankly, it sounds like it makes sense, given the material. In other words, knowing the "new end" doesn't even feel like it will alter any potential enjoyment of the film...
