the holygrail isn't open for criticism though.

I kid with the most respect possible. Don't get me wrong, it's the greatest graphic novel ever, and one of the best peices of fiction ever. Period.
But the way people can be is ridiculous. If people went into the graphic novel originally looking for flaws and inaccuracies the way they go into a movie like this, I'm sure they'd muster up some gripes.
This goes for any sequel, adaptation, or remake of something where considerable time has passed. The original becomes untouchable, and the descendant is scrutinized in a "guilty until proven innocent" fashion.
