Oh well, I ejoyed the film, but having never read the comic I don't know what I'm missing. I do know most of the characters who have prior lives outside of the comics and the film and enjoyed the interesting mix (though oft-wooden acting), though I gather the comics are somewhat better than the film then? Aren't the Asgard supposedly technologically superior? Just a tad. No tacky added-on Yank characters, and the film doesn't (and couldn't, to be fair) include a lot of Moore's world. There must be dozens of small touches on each page of the comic (which were left out because they were too small or too British to include in a film), which flesh out the world (the Devil is in the details) and make it more believable.
