I hold it in high regards because it's an exceedingly well-executed superhero flick. Plain and simple.

I hear ya, Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the film too.

So you must be looking forward to Michael Bay's version then?

Just saw that Batdude thingy. Pretty impressed. Nice small role by one of my favourite Aussie actors, Ben Mendelsohn as Dekker (I think that was the name?) Very satisfied

Could not get into Watchmen, saw it at the cinema and never again.

The new Batman movie was pretty darn good, better than I expected it to be. Still not as good as The Dark Knight, but then again the bar was raised pretty high with that one.

Am I the only one who thought the film was freaking Amazing?

French horror film called Martyrs, really good semi-fucked enjoyable film that people have to watch.

Youtube the trailer.

Not sure how well this can be interpreted from the book but it looks decent enough.

Have you read the Graphic Novel?

I wasn't a fan of the film, the best Alan Moore book turned into a film is V for Vendetta in my mind, wasn't entirely true to the source material but was still good.

I really like Martyrs, too, but again I think you'd be mistaken to assume that it's going to be for everybody. Just going by conversations I've had about the film on other boards, I can already tell you that it's incredibly divisive.

I haven't read the novel.

and I didn't really enjoy V for Vendetta, well it was a decent film but I wouldn't watch it again.
