I was confused ... everything you said about it was really complimentary, and then, in the last paragraph or two, you threw in all of your complaints, as if they didn't even matter. Now that may just be because I didn't like the film, virtually at all, but that seemed odd to me.
Also, you can't refer to Tom Hanks as the "Angel of Death", because the movie doesn't do that (and, by eliminating that, made what seemed like it was trying to be a religious-symbolism overtone very very muddled; I say seemed because I haven't read the TPB, so I can't say for sure that it's used for this, but I can say that it seemed to pop in religious stuff whenever they thought to do it but without a single thru-line like what would've been provided if he *was* the Angel of Death. I hate pointless changes to source material more than life itself.).
