nerd alert!

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2005)

for all you comic nerds out there that complain that the movies don't follow the books closely enough, this one is for you. we're talking PANEL BY PANEL here. almost all the dialogue is word for word as well, and when yer adapting something from a Frank Miller book, that's a damn good idea! not a perfect movie, but a buttload of fun, and the audience was totally absorbed. i haven't been in a crowd that quite in a long time. i heard a rumor that they plan to make two more of them, as well....as long as the same people are involved, i'm all for it! if you want to see something different in the movie theater, go see this movie! p.s.--Mickey Rourke is amazing as Marv, and watch for Frank Miller's cameo.
