A beautifully violent, energy charged masterpiece of cinema.

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2005)

Of course, there are millions out there who would disagree, saying it's too violent and foul. But, if u look at it for what it is, it's more than just and . The (in most cases) is actually very beautiful. Most of the is actually white, because of the color scheme. And the
, among other things, is never gratuitous or , even if it does involve lady's of the evening. The acting, at first seems, odd. When the comic book lines flow from Bruce willis' mouth in his first scene, you are almost embarrassed. It sounds awkward and clunky. But, as the movie progresses, and everyone talks this way, it just seems right. The movie also takes you through a wide range of emotions. From romance, to excitement, to sickened, to horrified. The use of color is clever and amazing. If I had to describe this movie in one word, it would be, crazy. The action is over-the-top and the decapitations are oddly beautiful. Some of the villains are seemingly normal, but some are crazy, ic and disturbing. This is one of the most beautiful, well acted, well directed, and well casted movies I have ever seen. It also is almost frighteningly close to the graphic novels that it is based on.
