I respect the effort

.. specially of trying to keep the film as faithful to the comic, which is one of my favourite comic books of all time since it came out in 1991.

The scenes follow the comic book quite closely, but the story is simplified for an obvious lack of budget.

The final confrontation is also changed to simplify the action which would have required a way bigger budget, and it's not too bad, really. Actually, the present is an easter egg to the first Simon Bisley (who also illustrated this Lobo Paramilitary Christmas) made called The Last Czarnian. Cool little detail.

On the downside, the film is technically quite poor, it's not only a matter of budget, the cinematographer and makeup artists didn't give a great look to the film.

Still, it's a fun short ride which big fans of the Lobo comics will appreciate, not as a great film but as a fan made piece.
