This movie rocked...

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2005)

If you have an imagination or if you are capable of stepping outside and boundaries you hold in your own mind for what the world is supposed to be like then you may enjoy this movie. There have been comments made that compare this movie to classics like the Neverending Story and Willow. Not a logical comparison at all. The latter two films are fantastic journeys into different worlds that require a youthful joy and belief in the magic of all things to appreciate. Donnie Darko is a social commentary, a dark comedy, and a mono-mythic masterpiece. The film has certain part that drag, but it compensates for its shortcomings by offering up thought provoking subject matter. I firmly believe that those who enjoyed such films as 12 Monkeys and the like will appreciate this film.
