Most likely my favorite style of modern comedy. The outrageous plot, and affectionate satire of Kung Fu art, and films, seemed to me in perfect measure.
Epic cinematography, and the epitome of action films. It's taken a mere 16 years since Terminator II: Judgment Day but there is a new benchmark in the action genre.
Death and taxes may be inevitable, but so is the discovery of what makes life worth living. the moments, people, and experiences that educate our soul by the purpose that we give life.
Complexly brilliant. From the direction to the artwork this visual interpretation perfectly compliments the themes that inspired the screenplay, including the tiredness of my eyes after watching it.
This is how well film can be written and directed. The only flaw is the use of a flashback sequence that could have been pulled off if directed such that the imagery was representative of memory recolection.
Top of the pile. Hot shit. I am very curious to see how this would be received by an overseas audience. It may need subtitles.
Kenny is about as typical an Aussie portrayed in film as you will ever find. Steve Irwin was not average, he was extraordinary. Kenny is cut of the same mustard as any of my long term friends.
Although there was so much dialogue I was reading almost the whole way through, this was a very sweet and endearing film about my favorite pastime- imagining.
It would seem to me in the most emotionally inspired movies, a first person perspective may be required to fully appreciate the depth of character. Such is the case with this film.
This film struck several chords for me, and actually helped me grieve for a family member, so I will forever hold this film dear in my heart.
Brilliantly constructed and executed. The direction and cinematography is superb. The acting is dispensed of in equal fashion making this what I would consider a masterpiece.
A favourite amongst Jim Carey's roles. It was as if Jim was possesed by Andy for this part. Up there with Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, and my personal favourite of Jim's dramatic roles, The Majestic.
Nothing I can fault about this film, from the way it is directed to the quality in which this story is portrayed.
Fantastic. The animation was beautiful, and so realistic, however characterised, that it was easy to mistake it for live action unless paying attention to the rendering.
I think the story elements may be drawn out for a particularly younger audience, but I enjoyed the pacing amongst such a magnificent backdrop.
If only I could have caught this in the cinema. The casting was delightful, and the action spectacular. I enjoy supernatural themes in film, and this film puts them to great use.
A good modern teen comedy is so vastly different from those made a decade ago it can be difficult to put them in the same category. This film intelligently executes hilarious idiot humour. I laughed a great deal in the theater watching it.
Fantastic, and the best in the series of films to date. The slimmed screenplay kept enough important story from the novels to still hold the attention of those who have not read them- paced to perfection. It felt a lot shorter than its screening length.
The one aspect I have found neglected in the novels are the action sequences that do not carry the dark and dangerous events that take place. Here is where this film shines greater than the books. The superb directing of the action sequences succeed where their narrative counterparts are lacking.
Some may find the slow progression early too distracting, but I enjoyed the forced pacing. Overall the film has been pieced together very thoughtfully, and well. And it shows.
Coming from someone that enjoyed the first film, this was a fantastic sequel. Better than the original.
I felt that the melodramatic acting was fitting for a comic to screen adaptation. The plot was awesome and well executed, including the prelude to the next film.
It was long overdue to have seen this film, and even years later it was still worth it. The only fault I can give it was the choice to use black and white, which striped some of the brutality and separated the audience from the characters that were so true to life. For some that would be a good thing, however.
For me not being a fan of Steven Spielberg, this would have to be my favourite of his work.
Once again Chris Nolan has created a masterpiece of cinema.
This story took his first installment of Batman and made it even greater, combining it with the nemesis of the Joker played freakishly well by Heath Ledger.
Watching this reminded me of when I saw The Matrix, because I knew nothing about it before watching it. It seemed to come out of nowhere and blew me away.
