Once in awhile, a movie comes along that is nothing like what you've seen before.
I think this year, this is that movie.
Let's start with faithfulness to adaptation. Edgar Wright, known to most people as director of "Spaced" and "Shaun of the Dead", has done a fantastic job of bringing a comic book to the screen without losing any of the comic book "quirks"; In fact, this may be one of the MOST faithful CB/M adaptations I have ever seen (and being a geek I make it a point to see most all of them, regardless of quality).
