unique and amazing

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2005)

This is the first movie I've seen in years that is so unique that it really has no basis for comparison. It has no resemblance to other comic book movies and projects the feel and imagery of a comic better than anything I've ever seen (including many comics). I enjoyed everything about this movie from the dialogue and scenery to the action and gore. It was all handled in a very artistic and creative manner that really sets it apart from any other film to date. There were some weaker points in the film but very few, and the overall positives vastly outweigh the negatives. It is also a very violent movie with no lack of death and dismemberment so if you can't handle that kind of thing then it may not be for you. This movie also has so many recognizable faces throughout the whole movie that it's really a credit to the actors and the directors that it doesn't become a distraction. Every character fits and no one seems out of place. Mickey Rourke in particular was absolutely perfect. This was a wonderful movie.
