Excellent Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2010)

Looks fantastic, one of the best looking films I have seen that's not made by Ridley Scott. The stories are interesting and kept me entertained, some people say the film is to long but on subsequent viewings I find the film very interesting and really embraces the worlds that frank miller created with his graphic novels and is a place that as you become a fan want to spend more time in and learn more about, I think the film is excellently cast Mickey Rourke is great in this movie, some people say the film is a little to violent well I would say it is an 18 rated movie in the u.k and in this day and age to get that kind of rating a film has to be fairly violent so you should know what you are in for when you buy or rent this film that being said this isn't exactly in the same league as hostel or martyrs when it comes to violence the violence here is on the fantasy stroke comic book side of things and nothing is at all believable in a real life context. The music is also very good so is the editing and the pacing of the film. All in all I would say this is an excellent movie probably in the top 3 of it's genre and is a great midnight movie as well owing to the noir aspects of the film.
