Awesome movie!

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2009)

Let me first start off by saying that I never read the graphic novel. I might pick it up in the future though. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was a bit confusing at first... what was going on and what date the movie is set in, but that's cleared up after a while... and even then it doesn't really matter b/c the movie just draws you in. The FX in some spots was a bit cheesy, but overall... just a very cool movie with great characters and a decent story.
It was refreshing to see heroes who weren't spewing out rainbows all the time. Who are actually human, not perfect, and have dark, very dark sides. Sure Batman goes in to that, but not like this movie did. It makes Batman look like an emo poser wannabe.
Just be warned parents... this movie is rated the way it is for a reason. Do not think for a moment that just b/c it's from a "comic" that it is kid friendly. There is nudity and there is graphic violence. Everything a girl like me would want heh.
