[QUOTE="Fast Learner, post: 2133590, member: 649"] Now I understand you, thanks. I definitely read it differently. The dialogue is very film noir, when there is dialogue. That is, taunting, sexy, descriptive of emotions (rather than the actors portraying them), and very to-the-point. In that last sense, it is also very much like a comic book/graphic novel, with the images telling most of the story and the words simply adding emphasis. So I would absolutely agree that if enjoyment of a film hinges on good dialogue, this will not be the film for you. However, I think, however, that the vast bulk of the movie-going public doesn't really mind poor dialogue or a general lack of it if other parts of the film are sufficiently entertaining. I suspect your personal standards don't match as much of the general public as you might think. Me, I love great dialogue. Most of my favorite movies and nearly all of my favorite television has great dialogue. But I don't need it to enjoy a movie. [/QUOTE]
