Nothing else like this

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 2005)

When i started watching this movie, i didn't know what to expect from it because some of my friends love it, some hate it. some say its overrated, some say its this years best film. so i really had no clue on what to expect. but when i saw it for the first time. i was amazed. the special effects in this movie were brilliant. the film actually makes you appreciate colour television. it blends in the little arrays of colour into the black and white majority excellently and the brutality comes by the masses. this truly is the greatest comic book adaptation ever made and it is a comic book put on screen. the car chases and violent scenes are unbelievable. most of the actors put in great performances. Mickey Rourke is perfectly cast as Marv. Bruce Willis puts in an effortless performance as hartigan, but doesn't look like he's pushing 60 like it says. Elijah wood is brilliant as Kevin and is a truly chilling character without uttering a word throughout the film. and watch out for a little cameo role from the man frank miller himself. overall this movie is a modern classic as there is nothing else like it and it is only a 9 because i believe Benicio del Toro and Clive Owens performances were pretty bad.
