Terribly disappointing...I went expecting more

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 2007)

There is absolutely no character development or for that matter plot line...people try to change my mind by saying that it's based on a true story. It's not. It's based on a graphic novel which is loosely based on a true story (I love comics and thought Sin City was great). The only good thing is the visuals and fight scenes (however inaccurate). Here's the basic "plot"...boy grows up...goes and fights...talks with people...fights some more...talks some more...eats an apple...then dies. That's not storytelling (in other words the basis of film-making) that's wasting money trying to make people grow physically sick from boredom and gain bruises from uncomfortable seats while sitting through an hour and a half of garbage...
Lena Headey's character having a huge influence over other characters was ignorant. She would have been butchered in reality. Not be the one who does the butchering.
I was so severely disappointed in the film I would have left if I wasn't surrounded by others in the theater
