It looks so bad and lame. If you can't do it animated, just don't do it. I don't care how good you think your CGI is, it looks like Bridge to Tarabithia

    Been watching and my feelings are mixed. Sandman (the comic) is one of my favorite pieces of media of all time. And I do think they did about as good a job as they could adapting it to live action, although some of the costuming is a little too toned-down imo. Like, did anyone else think Dream looked a little more like himself (in terms of hair/clothes) in that flashback to the 14th century where he first meets Hob? And why not let Death have thicker eyeliner with the little swirl she has in the comics? But costuming aside I think so far the stories themselves are fairly well adapted.
    That being said, the stylization and artistic touches are a huge part of what made the comic so amazing, and a lot of them are just lost on live action.

        Very much so. I also greatly enjoyed the bits in Hell, especially the duel. Corinthian has also been excellent so far, and I just got to Desire who seems perfect from what I've seen.

        edit: Almost forgot to add, 24 Hour Diner was quite well done. Sort of felt like a single-location horror movie.
