Genius

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2008)

I personally loved this movie, but the guy I went to she it with did not enjoy it. I loved the use of black and white just as it was used in the novel. The use of color really emphasizes the emotion and drama tied it with the given event or item. I thought that the choice of actors and actresses really played well to Miller's characters. The only reason the guy I went to see it was didn't like is was because he felt that the stories jumped around to much and I times could be confusing. This is one of those movies that you either love it or hate it, there really isn't any in between. This is also the kind of movie that you just have to sit down and watch. My mother tried to watch while she was cooking dinner and hated it. The next weekend we sat down together and watched it and she really enjoyed it. I think that much of this movies strengths are in the visual attributes and the great work done by the films producers to really capture the feel of the Frank Miller original. I am really looking forward to the release of the next film and hopefully more to come.
