Brilliant Movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2007)

When I first went to see this movie, I had no idea what to expect of it. From what I saw of the trailers, it appeared to be a good action-packed movie, and it was actually mere chance that I went to see this one. When I saw it, I had no idea yet that there was actually also a comic series. I always think this as a good thing, since I didn't have any prejudice about it, and looked at it with a sober and neutral view.
I was literally amazed by this movie's brilliance. During the first break, I was so stunned I never got any food or drink, just wanted to see how it continued.
This movie has a great story, great plot line, which is explained throughout the movie. It's easy to understand, and the main character is really brilliantly played. Even though he wears a mask and you don't get to see his face, you can really sympathize with him, and his views are really interesting.
The movie has everything, great moral plots, interesting drama, good action, and it's filmed in a brilliant style, which not only makes the story easy to understand, but also gives a good understanding of all the major characters in a movie.
In the trailer, the movie appears to have a lot of action, but during the film itself this is actually not the case, though the great story more than makes up for that, and keeps you at the edge of your seat throughout the entire movie. There was no point, not even in some semi-romantic scenes, that I was distracted from the movie.
This is one of the few movies that IMO really really deserves a 10 all the way. And I would everybody who likes a good story with drama, humor and excellent plot to go see it.
