I actually prefer the comic. Big Daddy's origin and Red Mist's identity were handled much better in the comic IMO. Completely removed two great twists. Of course we wouldn't have had those nice father/daughter scenes then. Everyone in the movie is also much more likable which isn't necessarily a good thing. Dave was a jerk who
never got the girl and they made Big Daddy more noble than his comic counterpart with his reason for superheroing. A little weird how a live action movie is more fantastical than the comic book it's based on;
jetpack ride through the city... Was also surprised how tame the violence was compared to the comic...especially since that seemed to be what everyone was talking about. Cut out a lot of really graphic yet cool stuff as well as Kick-Ass using his "power" to escape the chair, and if people were upset at the violence then they'd really be up in arms over Hit Girl's "secret chemical compound." Hit Girl's ending was also much
much better in the book and the final fight while not as action packed fit better and was more emotional. Eh, still an enjoyable movie. Funnier than the comic and had a great soundtrack.
Then again the comic and screenplay were written at the same time so there's that.
