Must be seen in its ULTIMATE CUT version

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2011)

SO much has been written here, that I'm not going to reiterate.. But haters and lovers alike really owe it to themselves to watch the 215 minute Ultimate Cut edition of this movie (not to be confused with the Director's Cut). Adding the animation plus additional scenes (and even a better Blu-Ray transfer than previous releases) has much so much more depth to both some characters as well as motivations, that it becomes easily one of the best costumed hero films ever made...better than DARK KNIGHT, IMHO. (But the love scene still sucks!)
It is also much closer in execution to the Alan Moore graphic novel it is based on. Honestly, I really don't see how it could have been done any better. (Well, again, except for that damned love scene!)
