Action-filled Visual Masterpiece
Wow, I just got back and it was pretty damn intense. Seeing it in IMAX pretty much blew my mind, and the same for the rest of the audience. This is definitely one of the most visually captvatiing movies I've ever seen. The action sequences are basically every action lovers dream. It's the closest thing I've seen to a video game (e.g. God of War) type of fighting. The multiple bullet-time/freeze in mid-air acrobats was done really well, although maybe a little too much at times.
As for the plot itself, it's said to be a near excact copy of the graphic novel. I can't vouch for that since I haven't read it, but I'd say the story was told fairly well. It's really hard to get a good drama when those parts of the movie can only act as filler for what the main draw is, the action. Don't go in expecting great acting, or lenghty dialogues. This is a testosterone filled aborted fetus that you'll wish never ended. At least for me. Also, do try and see it in IMAX, it's worth the extra 3-5.
