Everything I wanted out of this was here. I can honestly say without a second thought that this the best execution of a Marvel film period. Funny, suspenseful, heartfelt and on and on.
I think I enjoyed this film going in since I was familiar with the actual murders. Peter Jackson's pre-LOTR style really shines through and makes the fantasy sequences wonderful. The only thing that surprised me was how little the film focused on the actual murder. The murder was done in such a way that felt disturbing to me and rarely get disturbed.
