Amazing Video Game/Comic Book format, let down by 'Cardboard' Acting

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2012)

This film is amazing in the way its put together, I love the whole video game/comic book vibe that this film gives off, and thats what really makes this film special, how much of this video game aspect is incorporated into the film, with coins exploding out of people when they died as well as classic comic book words coming out as well as sounds, it really is a treat for your eyes in terms of visuals, and a definite healthy break form what is usually out there.
Something I also really liked were the seamless transitions between different scenes that seemed to run on and so you never had heavy block transitions, instead the camera always moved with people to achieve maximum fluency which is something I greatly admired.
The one main thing I didn't like about this film was the acting, they kept it just interesting enough to be quirky but many of the actors in this film could be described as 'card board', which was kind of disappointing in a film that was put together so well. I've never really seen a film that I thought had been edited as well as this one, it was perfect in that term but really the acting let it down.
Im not a huge Michael Cera fan, and he definitely didn't pull through in this film either, all I ever think about him when I see him in this film, is that someone else could be doing this job better and it would have made the film a lot better.
I feel therefore that this film was excellently put together with amazing visuals in video game format but what let it down was some terrible acting which brought the tone of the film way down, and that was the disappointing thing about this film. However for something different in terms of editing this film is definitely an essential film for all film lovers.
