great comic-book movie

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2005)

This is a really good example of how to do a "green screen" movie. The "real" people are made to look "drawn", and the drawn images, are made to look "real". So the actors and background blend perfectly. An example of failed attempt at this is the movie "World of the Future", which looked terrible, since the actors in that movie just didn't look like they belonged in the background.
There's some extreme violence, but it's stylized, so it doesn't leave you disturbed like a horror film would.
The plots are pretty simply and easy to follow. The movie isn't really about plots, but it's about style. And there's lots of that. It's also about beautiful women, and Jessica Alba is the star there. It has nudity and sex, but that's nor reason to see it. If you just want sex/nudity, then there are a lot more appropriate sources.
Now some people won't like this film. If you dislike comics, or black&white, you'll dislike this movie. Forget completely about reality if you go to this movie.
So, overall I'm pretty happy with the film, and recommend it.
p.s. It's a comic-book people. "Graphic Novel" is term concocted by adult men who refuse to admit they like comic books. The movie is a comic book, and that's a good thing. Watch it.
