What a violent & useless piece of garbage this movie was

Rating: 1/10 (18 April 2005)

I was practically forced into seeing this movie as my friend is an artist & lover of the original comic books. I have to admit that I'm not a fan of film noir or Quentin Tarantino and I should have listened to my stomach before having it heave all over the lady ahead of me in the theatre.
There is no use for this kind of useless mind numbing violence ..the story line jumped around more than a frog on hot pavement and the tie-in towards the end of the movie was just absurd .. I mean really, the yellow guy was the serial killer from the first segment? He turned into a Ferengi from some medical procedure meant to re-attach his genitals .. OKAY .. time to leave .. when the theatre went dark between scenes, I was praying out loud that this was the end of it? I left the theatre immediately during the Elijah Wood/Rutger Hauer segment .. a young man with razors for nails who kills & eats prostitutes .. YUCK ..
Elijah Wood is quoted as saying that he took this role to make people forget him as Frodo .. well with any luck, Hollywood & all the innocent young following of fans that he managed to build with his portrayal as the innocent Frodo will do just that, forget about him. Elijah, bad move man. Be like Orlando or Cate or Marton & get a real agent who will find you real work.
I woke up in the middle of the night from nightmares because of this film.
I managed to yell loud enough at the theatre manager who gave me my money back and thankfully I saved a group of young souls from seeing this filth.
Movies like this belong on the indie circuit so only those people who think Ted Bundy is cool & still live in their parents' basement at the age of 43 should watch this.
I've lost all faith in Hollywood movies & have resigned myself to not spending another hard earned dollar to contribute to its longevity.
