I do think , that if Greengrass's original shot at it would have went to production, we would have saw a much faster paced theatric, and a totally different style completely.

The characters have much more complexity than the characters of X-Men, Transformers, 300, so it definitely took longer to fully engage the viewer and their opinions of each.
actually...no...you wouldn't have gotten a faster pace...the movie was done close to the comic as possible...as a matter of fact if the intro was done as it was in the comic (it's own chapter) it would have slowed the movie even more.

Believe me when I say you got a good adaptation of the comic.

My prediction is this weekend great start but the following weeks will be a question mark
