Finally got to see it this past Saturday. Having had a week to chew it over I gave it a 7. It's good, it's entertaining. It's far from the greatest thing since sliced bread. The "look" was darker, more shadowy than I would have really preferred, but not enough to be a genuine detriment. Not at all as quotable as I was, I think, expecting. If anything I think I may have fallen prey to a bit of hype. I've known this one was coming for a long time, and while I looked forward to it from the start I think I started to be influenced further by the endless parade of "Oh, this is going to be SO GREAT!" comments I kept seeing and hearing.

It's good, but not THAT good, and certainly not exceeding "good" into "greatness" territory. A year from now, or from when the DVD is released it will be just one more movie. One of the better ones of the year, but not even remotely one of the best ever.

I saw it and I liked it. The film is better than the book in my not so humble opinion.

Well, yeah.

It doesn't have any crappy Frank Miller art dragging it down.

Heathen! Blashphemer! Heretic!

I say this in all seriousness: Frank Miller is one of the greatest living comics artists. He is right up there with Neil Adams.

Well call me a heathen (again) then, because there's something about his style that completely turns me off.

Now some of his earlier stuff I have nothing against, but the way his style has progressed over the last ten years or so has completely turned me off.

I do hope that is intended to be a leg...

Lots of flash, very little substance. The initial fight scenes were kewl, but then they just became redundantly boring. Never before I have heard so much hoopla about such a little movie.
