Awesome entertainment... and food for thought, too.

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2006)

Not having read the comic book (yeah, as if comic books had any literary value to start with! :) ), I enjoyed this movie immensely. I'd put it on par with the original Matrix - a movie where I really didn't know what was going on right until the end. I'd say it's "1984" for the 21st Century - a vision of a totalitarian government, and how one man struggled to make a difference.
This movie polarizes viewers. I'd guess you could even "guess" the political affiliations of people by asking them whether they liked this movie, or not. The fact that action sequences are handled in a very sensible way doesn't help, either. This is not a "blow-em up movie" that is easy to like...
All in all, an excellent movie. A must-own DVD.
