Interesting... Very Interesting

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2009)

i have been anticipating this movie for a while now, and NO i have not read the graphic novel. i went into the cinema with high expectations and on the most part they were either met or exceeded.
i caught a nighttime screening of this movie and the cinema was packed full. there was an excited vibe in the air, chatter amongst people... but everyone fell silent as it began.
unlike most comic-book movies this takes the time for character development, in fact this takes a lot of time for character development. and for the whole it is better for it. the visuals are beautiful, the action outstanding. Zack Snyder has done a fantastic job with the direction.
the soundtrack is mostly brilliant. the opening credits are some of the best that i've ever seen. there is one moment where the music falters... and if you've seen the movie you will know what i'm talking about. there is a certain moment when they play Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' which leads to it being unintentionally hilarious.this is the 2nd time that Zack Snyder has made a scene like this strange and funny, but i enjoyed the movie nonetheless.
the other people attending the movie all seemed to have read the graphic novel, and they all seemed to have loved it. since watching the movie i have began reading the graphic novel and it is brilliant.
though this movie has garnered some mixed reviews i recommend you go see it and make up your own mind. this is definitely one of the best comic-book/graphic novel adaptions i have seen
