I walked out on this movie.

Rating: Null/10 (19 April 2005)

I walked out on this movie, and even went so far as to contemplate demanding my money back. I didn't, because I like the theater, and because I feel like I brought this on myself. Sure, I'd read reviews about how this was, quote & unquote, "sinsational", but really, what kind of person goes to see a movie where they watch: -The vivisection of NUMEROUS humans, -Scenes with priests confessing to cannibalism, and, more disturbing to me, -A girl who was eleven/twelve when this guy was sixty, kissing him when she's nineteen/twenty. And it was a Kiss. Now, it's OK if you feel like America is too conservative, and etc. And it's even alright to write books or papers on true stories about how awful the world is. But to make a comic book, and then a movie, and market it as "sinsational", when all it is is gruesome images put together in a madcap way, doesn't make sense to me. The plot (WHAT PLOT?!) made no sense, there was no story, or way to care about the characters. I'd heard that there were deaths of good people, but I just didn't care enough when they died. Oh, well, with the number of bad movies out there, it's not surprising that this one was complete and utter crap. Still, people LIKED this? Anyone who did is strange to me. I wish they had a "zero" rating. -CarcassofaGirl
