What a rush.

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2005)

When you first start watching this you think that the voice-overs and dialogue are painfully obvious and a little corny but i think that that is the way that it is supposed to be presented. Since it is based on a graphic novel I was expecting it to be a little different but i was completely blown out of the water. I really started to get into the movie and I came out of the theatre so excited that I just had to use the bathroom. It was not only completely beautiful but all the characters were wonderfully played. My personal favourites were Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis and the cute but deadly Devon Aoki.
Mickey Rourke did a wonderful job as the beast seeking revenge for the only dame that had ever shown him any sort of kindness.
Clive Owen is always the master of playing the dark, brooding characters that make chills run down your spine. And it doesn't hurt that he's not all that bad to look at either.
Bruce Willis is just awesome and it amazes me how I can find someone almost 40 years older than me that attractive.
Devon Aoki was just my favourite character of all. She doesn't say a single word but she just kicks so much ass that you have got to love her.
Robert Rodriguez is also one of my very favourite directors. If you liked any of his work than I guarantee that you will love this one. I walked in excited and came out amazed. Go see it and you will know what I mean. It will completely blow your mind.
