  | I just saw it. I am glad they gave the guy from the Day Watch trilogy a part. I liked it. Overall a decent action flick that kept me highly entertained. Completely strays from the comic book except the girlfriend/Barry thing. Everything else is just loosely based.

+4 Internets | I rolled my eyes the first time I saw the preview with them curving bullets, but despite that I enjoyed the movie quite a bit because it was exciting, had moments of tension, and was interesting. I'm not a Jolie fan at all, but she fits roles like this perfectly so I don't mind her. And before people claim I am "sharp knees" guy, I'd fuck her so many times that my dick would fall off (and everyone else's on this board through sheer osmosis) if I actually got the chance. And her 47 adopted third-world kids got the fuck out of the way. I just would pick a lot of fantasy women higher if I had my choice, that's all. Except for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. She was smoking hot in that movie. |

| Fucking loved it. Looked cheesy and corny in the previews, and it was, but done REALLY well. Blood, slo-mo, assassins, gunfights and laughs? thats hard to pull off, but they did it.

| I saw it recently and loved it! It looked a little campy in the trailers but went away during the actual film. I guess if there are sequals we'll see the main character doing some more crazy stuff like the one guy did in the begining. ( the whole jumping across a city street / fast movement kinda stuff ) I deffinately want to kill people for a living after seeing that one! |

+1 Internets | I saw this on Tuesday and liked it quite a bit. The philosophical ramblings about "what is life" reminded me a lot of "Fight Club" with some really impressive special effects (a la "The Matrix") made the movie enjoyable all the way through. There were one or two cheesy things I probably would have changed, but overall it was solid entertainment.

| Granted I never read the comics or anything like that, but reading this thread I am in disbelief at the fact that so many of you enjoyed this movie. If there is something in regards to the backstory that I am missing please fill me in. But otherwise this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. I love mindless action flicks as much as the next guy, but the plot was completely retarded, the acting was terrible and they didn't explain anything. You guys that compared this to the first Matrix or Equilibrium or to Fight Club are nuts. The closest thing this movie resembles is Shoot Em Up, but at least that movie knew it was retarded and embraced the cheesiness and you can take it at face value. This movie was actually trying to be serious and it slaps itself in the face. The main character was a giant douchebag. The plot was awful. A guild of weavers starts a fraternal order of assassination? There's a giant fucking loom that has embedded binary codes of people who need to be killed? They don't even tell you were the orders come from, they just come from the magic loom? Really? Maybe that is explained in the comic or something but jesus christ, they literally explained nothing about the entire thing. I must have laughed out loud like 15 times at least. What does he say at the end, "What have you done lately"? That might have been the gayest thing I have seen in my entire life. Beyond the main character there is no character development at all of any of the other people with the exception of Jolie with like a 1 minute flashback and this father after he's dead. The stealthy blademaster happens to be a fat slob who could not even hide behind a truck and would probably lose in a footrace to Jonah Hill. What the fuck was up with the guy with the rats? He tends to the bathtubs and randomly shows up and gets shot? Sweet. The whole sequence with the train derailing might have been the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. I think this might have been the worst movie I have seen since Signs. |

| Towards the end of the training sequence, when he's getting punched for the 15th time or whatever, and he goes "THIS IS BULLSHIT" I was really hoping he'd continue with "WASH YOUR CAR, PAINT YOUR FENCE". |
