Saw this tonight- great movie, tons of action and a twist on the story. To summarize it: It's a Matrix meets La Femme Fatale flick- awesome watch if you wanna see some good ol' creative action smaction!

Some of the best CG action scenes I've seen I think.

I kinda suspected the little twist from the first few minutes of the movie, but it wasn't enough to ruin it for me like it does in some movies.

^ There's a comic? :lol: I guess it's good that it's not like it, or it would kill a lot of the plot imo.

But the plot was really stupid. Never read the comics, but I wasn't surprised by any plot elements, mainly because I think they didn't care either.

Post by: StreakInTheSky on July 04, 2008, 05:24:08 AM: Trilogy? I don't really know if I want that.

I actually thought the plot was really fun, but I didn't love it enough to want to see more of it. :lol:

Post by: Aioros on July 06, 2008, 04:49:10 AM: I watched the movie yesterday and enjoyed it. Plot-wise, I think it was great and the action scenes were pretty cool too.

I like the main character's personality because I can definitely relate to him. :lol:

I was only able read the comic when I got home and damn, the movie could have been more kickass if they followed it faithfully. A villain whose whole body is composed of shit deserves some screentime IMHO and Wesley looked like Eminem in the comic :lol:

Post by: ctz on July 08, 2008, 07:51:05 PM: Some nice action scenes, but the plot has so much holes in it that it's already annoying.

I wonder how they could get McAvoy to do this movie... I thought he chooses quality scripts.

Post by: coachie on September 13, 2008, 09:51:31 AM: What a pile of crap!
I went to see it yesterday with a friend and if it wasn't for her I would've left right in the middle.
The action sequences were ok but everything else, urgh.

Post by: SomethingWild on September 24, 2008, 01:51:37 PM: It was enjoyable. Especially the over the top action scenes. The plot was terrible, but I don't care.

Trilogy? No thanks haha.
