Plan to ck out this flick this weekend - big Frank Miller fan from the Daredevil (Issue 158) days.

Nope, not my kind of picture at all.

I saw Zodiac AND Breach last weekend (one movie is unusual for me anymore). Liked Breach a lot, excellent acting, no action.

Zodiac? Excellent acting, well shot, excellent set direction (I was in high school and college during the primary Zodiac days - '68 to '74 so I remember what it looked liked very well). But I think it may be too slow for younger people. I think they took the time to show a lot of the investigative dead ends, etc and that may wear on people that weren't there for it. Just my $.02

Looks like an interesting flick. I'm hoping they don't F it up with too much in the way of special effects.

Saw it today--took a long lunch. Rick, based on your statement I wouldnt go if I were you. Not a whole lot of substantive dialogue, lots of fighting, spurting blood, graphic killing with swords and spears. Be prepared to get your AZZ kicked if you make your gf/wife go with you. Good guy action movie.

I like the old Marvel stuff, DareDevil, X-men, etc.... That said, I'll probably wait and rent this one. I don't see that many movies at the theater these days.

A month after it comes out on DVD someone will sell it to me for $2, I'll watch it if I want and then sell it for $3.

alright guys here is a recap,

Lots of gore, but that was expected. Not really a lot of dialouge, and it seemed to me it was just the same battle over and over again. I went in with hopes that this movie would be another Gladiator. It isn't. It is just another gorey movie. Would I recommend it for someone to rent sure. Just save yourself the price of admission.

The trailers look like it is computer generated. Is this true?

I saw it as a sneak preview last Tues, and I was blown away by how good it was. The special effects are simply stunning, and the action was great!

And if that's not enough for some of you guys, they show quite a bit of cleavage as well...

and I gotta say, that oracle girl is HOT!

I'm planning to write a review of it for my college newspaper.
