Woo Hoo!

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 1999)

I have not been so childishly drawn into a movie since Star Wars. The innocent, playful, comic book style of the film covers it's heavy themes beautifully. The notion of the willingness to see truth as an indicator of morality was purposefully portrayed as the Hero is willing to witness the truth regardless of the consequences, while his Judas-like human enemy takes the path of least resistance and opts for pleasure over truth. Thankfully, these motifs never become heavy-handed and the film rock'n'rolls along nicely with spectacular violence and special effects. I have seen the movie in French and German and still found it entertaining. My favorite movie of the year.
