Awesomely Surreal Hilarious Comedical Thrill-Ride

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2011)

This film is amazing. With great characters, surreal special-effects and total randomness, it's packed with jokes, quotes and numerous cultural references (mostly to do with gaming.)
I felt that every single part of the film was well-timed, well-placed and well-laughable (if that's a word...) Everything about it was ludicrously amusing, and I'm pretty sure that there were a couple of deep metaphors. The lines are very memorable, and off the top of my head I can quote most of the movie (I can't say the quote for fear of writing a spoiler in the review.)
Having said this however, I do know some people who didn't quite get it, so I reckon it depends on your taste of humor. Someone who likes a very idiosyncratic, haphazard craziness will love this. Those who want something normal and mundane will not. A couple of moments in the film do require the viewer to ponder a little, or wonder why on earth something happened, but not in a way that makes you completely lose track; it's good or bad depending how you view it.
As for comic book adaptioning, I saw the film before reading the comic (The film encouraged me to do so) and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. Some thing's are missing from the film, but most of it, down to costume, lines and special effects, is relatively the same.
So, overall, watch it. You'll either love it loads or just think it's slightly weird, but only by watching it will you find out.
