After tracking down the first two issues, I can't say that I'm impressed by the artwork, but I'll look for the final two.ColBlair wrote:First issue came out on December 8th.

Well, as a guy who watched "Let Me In" before watching the original Swedish version (Let The Right One In) and reading the novel. I would say that I actually enjoyed "Let Me In", the storyline was very relatable as there has been a point in everybodys life when they felt that they have been in either Abby or Owen's situation. While I felt that the movie itself was pretty so-so, I have to say I was amaze at the performance of the two lead Child actors. Who managed to put on a stunning performance for such an difficult roles.
While I prefer the both the original Swedish version and the novel to "Let Me In", I would have to say that it is possibly one of the best movie I have seen in 2010.

I was amazed with the two young child actors too in LMI myself.
Re: Reviews of LMI
Since the blu-ray/dvd now (at last) is released in Norway, a few reviews of LMI are starting to appear.
The reviews are generally very good, even if some reviwers also characterise the film as redundant.
Like Bergens Tidende, who below the heading "Lovely remake" and the second heading "beautiful but redundant remake" starts with asking if "the american really needed to make their own version of LdRKI". The reviewer (Britt Sørensen) answers this question "no", and explains the remake by American subtext phobia and mental drought in Hollywood.
From then on the reviewer praises LMI, and cannot think of any American director better suited to do LMI than Matt Reeves. She goes on with "The American wiped off the constant snot under Oskar's nose", "Abby is more guilty and more terrifying", "beautifully crafted cinematography" and "eminent acting", before summing up with a 5/6.
Also, the Norwegian Film Institute has selected LMI as the film of the month. Not bad! They approach their review by starting off with a "quite often American remakes of European hit films sucks, but LMI is an exception.
I don't know how well the film is doing on dvd, other than it is not among the top ten. The film wasn't screened on Norwegian theatres.
