After watching the Critical Drinker's review of it, I'm not surprised. Its a very different movie that missed the point of the original and got just about everything wrong.

I met James O'Barr at a Comicon years ago. Nice guy who was willing to talk to anyone that came up to him. Wife, I, and a friend had a nice chat with him for a bit.
