A good movie...

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 2000)

I've read most of the reviews people have posted for this movie. Some of the negative ones have been... well... negative. There also seemed to be a sense of misunderstanding there as well. This is a remarkable movie. The technical aspect of this film is staggering. Somebody said it was like you were eavesdropping on these people's lives, and I agree. People complain about the abrupt ending. I was upset at first though after a while... I realized... a lot of comic books end this way (With the text explaining what happens). I was also pleased to hear that this is just the first film in a trilogy. This makes the sort of slow pace of the first film (Even though I didn't mind it at all) make sense. It was to introduce these characters, and their lives.
People say the story makes no sense. Well... Did these people even stop and think about it? It's actually very straight forward. There are certain things that aren't explained, but this is a device few directors tend to use nowadays. This technique is to let people USE THEIR IMAGINATIONS!!! Why do people need everything force fed to them anymore? A friend of mind were discussing the true identity of who or what Bruce Willis' character was exactly. She smiled and said, "I think it all depends on what kind of adventure you want it to be." I agree totally. If you want a super hero movie, it's a super hero movie. If you want a dramatic film, it's a dramatic film. People who call this film crap and demand their money back should probably go waste their money on films like "The Haunting" or "The Beverly Hillbillies."
But I don't want to be fully negative with my review. I think people's opinion's are exactly that. This is my opinion. And in my opinion, I hope the rumors I heard about this being the start of a trilogy were true, because I want to see the continuing story of David Dunn.
