Amazing.
Personally, I believe this latest adaptation of a Frank Miller story takes the techniques used in the previous one (Sin City) to new heights. It uses the pictures to tell as much (or more) of the story as the dialog does - cinematography at its best, and an unapologetic tribute to the original medium the story was told in.
As for the battle scenes, this movie trumps all others as far as I’m concerned (at least that I can remember). Previous attempts (ala Braveheart, Gladiator, etc.) pale in comparison.
The only downside was a generous dose of gratuitous upper body female nudity in some parts, but then again I’d bet that most people who would like this film wouldn’t really consider that much of a negative.
All in all, I thought it was great. Thanks to Dan for saving me a seat when the theater was packed out.
