In my opinion yes the movie is better, and my father agreed with me. I thought the comic had too many subplots and too many characters and what really threw me off the comic was the way the language was written. It's sort of a niticky complaint but I know that the comic is set in the UK and I can imagine the characters having accents you don't need to write "wot" instead of "what" and similar.
Just a monkey in a long line of kings.
If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist!
