Fantastic. Saw it lastnight at a WB screening session (sorry, everyone i manged to get only 2 double guest passes, and the other was spoken for).
By far and away, the best comic -> movie film created. Its dark, fast, and very well layed out. ****/5

I'm there.
Not a big "batman" fan, but a fan of recent modern "comic conversion" films, specifically HULK and SINCITY - just love the whole immersion-in-the-comic-universe feel - mayhap "L'homme de bat Depart" est jus as bon? :) <-- sorry for the Frenglish, I think the Chinese food I ate last night isn't sitting with me well (in fact I have been doing a lot of "sitting" today because of it, knowwhatimeanvern?) so my brain is kinda fried right now... :P

*feigns shock at hearing some didn't like Hulk* What can I say? Over the top comicbook acting + very cool comicbook moving panels editing + Ms. Connely = enjoyed watching. Potayto, Potahto... :rolleyes:

No no no... L'azia, much better (and the same prices or lower) and the ninjas are less uppity.

And yes, the Hulk sucked hard...

It had me to the halfway point, then all I could think of was Stewie with a backpack over one shoulder trying to hitch-hike...

Yes, L'asia can be found on the ground floor near the south exit.
- Walk down to The Bay
- You should see a hall leading South from the elevators
- You will see L'asia to the left of the doors

- Walk down to The Bay
"Down to the Bay...
Where the watermelons grow...
Back to my car...
I dare not go...
For if I do...
My friends will say...
It's freakin' opening night, get your butt in a seat while it's still early!"
I feel like Paul Schaeffer "I don't know where that little ditty came from..." :P

And now sit back and enjoy the "I hate Roger Ebert" flame war:

All started because one guys said "Finally, a review I can respect from Ebert" and it got ugly from there ;)

Quote from: "Shayne"Fantastic. Saw it lastnight at a WB screening session (sorry, everyone i manged to get only 2 double guest passes, and the other was spoken for).Saw it tonight with Mr. Analog and Darren. I have to agree with Shayne's assessment. Great story, great actors, great action.
By far and away, the best comic -> movie film created. Its dark, fast, and very well layed out. ****/5

R0ck3d. I gave it 9/10 on IMDB (it was a teeny tiny bit slow in some of the earlier background/flashback scenes).
