Not having seen the hype, it was awesome

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2007)

I went into this movie with no expectations and had not seen any promotion. The only reason I knew it existed was that it was a top torrent search term. A friend asked me to go and briefed me on it a bit, and we to see it on the big screen (a must). I was blown away by the action, tone of the movie, amazing angles close ups and slow motion shots. The movie obviously inspired by a comic book, and should be taken as such. While there are many historical inaccuracies, this movie is clear that it's not attempting to retell history, rather just a great story. I had have not seen Sin City, and I have heard there are many similarities so I will be downloading that one. Again, great visuals.
