I saw it yesterday, def. different,cool in many ways. Jessica Alba(speechless) I think it's worth seeing IMO.
I pretty much felt the same way, I guess it depends what your looking for.ChldsPlay said:Yeah I saw it Friday night...not sure what I think of it. There are lots of parts I really liked a lot individually, but as a whole I'm not sure. I don't think it is something I would watch many more times. It's a little longer than it needs to be, and as far as telling a story/stories, it was pretty incomplete.

But what I read about Mickey Rourke's performance, the Rodriguez defect from the Screen Actor's Guild over this Frank Miller's "dissing", the overall cast and the Taratantinoeque intertwining of stories, plus my hubby's avid interest in the technology involved (pretty fascinating stuff..filming on green background and filling in the frames digitally is how I gather it was done) was incentive enough.
I don't know how true the stories were to the comic books, but it was as visually compelling a film as I've ever seen. Amaxing stuff.
And Rourke was incredible.
