Sucky ending

Rating: 5/10 (21 October 2008)

The first time i watched this movie i was greatly disappointed. The main char was a pussy trough the whole movie, and the ending ended REALLY bad, so i have no idea why our hero smiled. But alas, i realized my view was too colored by the comic book, a comic recommended to me by a fellow comic book enthusiast just a month earlier...
Here is the bad thing with the ending; our hero survives and get to kill the big bad guy (and smiles), but at this point in the story our hero has no money, no comrades, no job and no girl. At this point i would probably go totally Max Payne on the world, hating everything and doing violent stuff against honest criminals. Moral: You COULD stop taking crap from everybody, but know that you will lose everything! Contrast the comic book: Our hero (or more a villain, actually. He is WAY eviler in this version) get to talk to his father, gets his girl, still have friends, and more money than ANYONE could ever want.
Well, i just watched it a second time (this time with friends) and i realized that the rest of the movie was... okay. A bit above average. And in the end, it proved what we have always known: Hollywood-land-of-blockbuster-factories is still a big bunch of pussies...
