[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Wow. Just saw this for the second time tonight and I must say it was awesome. Rather like [i]Pulp Fiction[/i] with all pretense at reality taken out. And Mickey Rourke looking like Spencer Tracy on steroids. And Elijah Wood doing his best Hannibal Lecter impression. Yeah. I never read the comics, (er...excuse me...[i]graphic novels[/i]) but from what I hear the film follows them very closely. The production design was certainly quite impressive, akin to my beloved [i]Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow[/i] but yet completely of its own style---darker, grittier, and several helpings more badass. The cast was great. I wasn't exactly convinced that Bruce Willis was in his sixties, or that he looked any older after his character's eight years in prison, but that's pretty much my only gripe. (At first I was cynical at just how nimble Marv/Rourke was after being hit several times with the chick's car moving at what seemed like appreciable speed, but then I reminded myself that "hey, this is *not* reality!") A friend of mine commented that the film made him "feel like going out and smoking cigarettes and killing people," with which I concurred. All in all I enjoyed it thoroughly. I get the impression that this summer will be a good one for movies, what with [i]Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy[/i] and [i]Revenge of the Sith[/i] right around the corner. Now if Speilberg and Lucas could just get their asses in gear on the next [i]Indiana Jones[/i] flick... :p -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [b]P.S.[/b] Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, and company are all quite hot. Not to mention Clive Owen. [i]Indeed.[/i] -[b]MM[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
