Oh, my...

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2005)

...the kind of movie i dreamed of seeing since i was a kid (a wee bit of time ago) - all the way up to actually seeing it when it finally arrived this year. The best adaptation of a comic to date by a wide margin.
Damn.
The blend of real life, comic, film noir, black and white, color, Dashiell Hammett, Dark Knight on the art side and Bruce Willis (in a roll made for him), Josh Hartnett (who despite being prettier than most celebrity girlfriends is a great actor), Jessica Alba (unharmful to the eyes), Brittany Murphy (ditto), and Mickey Rourke (in the roll no one else on EARTH could have played) on the craft side...
Not that ANY thing or one in this movie isn't a child of, work of, or slave to...art.
Damn.
