I’ve seen the movie and haven’t read the comic, and I highly recommend giving the movie a chance. It does so many things well that many other movies do poorly, and overall is very refreshingly original.

Also not having read the comic, I can’t imagine that Ballister and Nimona’s chemistry was so much better in the comic because it was so great on screen. I don’t think Ballister’s relationship with Goldenloin detracts from his dynamic with Nimona at all.
