The movie then opened and closed so fast there was little time to determine what went wrong (and if anything went right). The trailers certainly made the movie look lighthearted and wonky, much like the comic source material so there was reason to be encouraged. He had certainly improved as an actor, as witnessed by Fear Itself and his recurring role on Chuck. Then I saw that this was going to Brandon Routh’s third film based on a comic book and figured he was 1 for 2 so far (entertaining in Scott Pilgrim, not served well by Superman Return’s lousy script) and might improve his average. That the Italian comic has been running for decades also spoke to its creative spark and the genius of Tiziano Sclavi. A PI in the world of things that go bump in the night sounded like a lot of fun. I first encountered the legend of Dylan Dog back when I was trying to cover foreign comics while at Comics Scene and then wrote about the film adaptation a while back over at Famous Monster of Filmland.
