QUOTE(hawsucheng @ Jan 2 2009, 04:37 PM) All the haters on this board complain about the campiness and the over the top characters, cheesy lines and ridiculous sequences. Well THATS THE POINT of this movie. Its supposed to be so over the top its funny. Its been said before and I think the problem was that this film was marketed to be a serious action flick as opposed to what it actually is, a action comedy and I can even go as far to say a parody. I've never watched the trailers before i've seen the movie and I went in not knowing what to expect and i LOVED it. This movie was funny and brilliant once you understand that its SUPPOSED to be like that. I can understand that if you walk into this movie expecting it to be the next Dark knight, because thats the way it was marketed, then yes you're going to be disappointed. Its like Kill Bill, its not a serious action movie, its actually quite ridiculous and thats where the enjoyment of the movie comes from. Chill out for a sec and allow yourself to be entertained. i second that... m not expecting a dark Knight here... its cheesy like Kill Bill Vol.1 & 2... it was meant that way. Can't wait if there is a sequel.. |

Yup . agree the movie is trying to be true to the comic, and it was "meant that way". Too bad, its style and "that way" DOES NOT ENTERTAIN the masses. can't blame them for disliking "that way" . To the lovers out there, please accept the fact that this movie FAILED TO ENTERTAIN. For true blue fan boys only. this means Commercial Failure. too specialised to ONE single market of viewers, in which its trailer might be made so to mislead "the rest of us".

i knew it was a detective story...... so it when well for me... surprised people juz move out of the cinema... what were they expecting?? Spider-Man?? LoL!! Its funny, story yea maybe on a dull side but well done.. actors were great and effects is very Frank Miller signature pop culture. More action perhaps on the next movie!  |

Can't believe I spent RM9 to watch it.  There's only 5 of us in the cinema last Saturday. 1/3 of the movie, the other couple tak boleh tahan and quit. Another guy fall asleep!  This post has been edited by fraulein: Jan 10 2009, 11:57 AM |

errr.... it's not even about the way it was marketed... i went in with no expectations at all and came out feeling cheated of my time and money.  over the top is fine, but is it even FUNNY? sure, there were some lame laughs.... then? in the end of the day, it just sucks. the WORST movie EVER watched. (and i'm an avid movie-goer)  |
