I wish I could rate this higher, but...

Rating: 7/10 (7 June 2010)

Now I really really enjoyed this film, but a few things pulled me back from rating it higher. The excessive gore. They have VERY EFFECTIVE action scenes, what do they need all the gore for? Do we really need to SEE some guy's arms get sawed off? Really unnecessary in my opinion. What about cheek skin getting bitten off? Way, way too much.
I love the character development, it was so excellent and well done. I have never read the comics, so they did a marvelous job at allowing me to understand the characters a bit more with the amount of time they had. This film was very artistic, the music score was thoroughly enjoyable and the action scenes (the non-gore ones) were excellent. The plot was effective as well. It's just the unnecessary gore that really lowered my score.
I don't like so much gore in my action flicks, I tend to expect that more so in horror films. I've seen less gore in some horror films than this had.
