The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

A lot of people are NOT going to like this movie, but that is because they wanted a pointless knife-fighting movie with explosions from beginning to end. That is not this movie. Just like the comic book this is a NICHE MOVIE that's longevity will be as a cult classic.
This movie was awesome but not because of the action The dialog and the overall message is what made this movie. I walked out of the theater wowed because for the first time ever the characters' interactions with each other were more important than the special effects.
It was funny, cheesy (purposefully), interesting, smart, and had a point other than fighting the bad guy of the week. True action/fighting sequences are few and far between in this movie, but that is what made it stand apart.
If you are going to see this movie because you are expecting an action-packed, CG, green screen, fighting movie, you WILL BE disappointed. But, if you like a good old "stick it to the man" story you will love it.
