This book series holds a special place in my heart and I'm ecstatic they brought it to life (no pun intended) so vividly. Brendan Fraser as 'mo' was the only casting misstep I think the film took seeing how the rest of the casting was beyond perfect.

And Dustfinger......WOW! that was one of the finest 'book to screen' portrayals I've seen as of late. They really couldn't have found anybody better for the beloved role. This just confirms the fact that Paul Bettany is one of the underated actors in Hollywood.

This movie was made special by the unbelievably enigmatic Sam Worthington. Although his 'in and out' accent confused the hell out of me in certain places, it can be overlooked since his presence in the film totally gave Bale's a run for his money.

As much as I love Christian Bale, his last three blockbuster performances were completely outshined by his costars (Depp, Ledger and now Worthington) maybe his psychotic outbursts while filming were a detriment to his character in the film.

This is one of the best modern classics of our times. The brilliance of this movie is the very well executed multi-layered storytelling and all the tiny nuances hidden throughout the movie that you don't even pickup on until you rewatch it a couple times.....im still finding things and i've seen this about 6 or 7 times. Then theres the plot twist that truely defines what a "plot twist" is (somthing thats rarely done right in modern cinema) Brian Singer's direction gets the credit for this one because his use of clips from previously established scenes really convinces you to think that each suspect could really be "Keyser Soze" so it takes you from one extreme to another till the film concludes. Then there's the cast who are all brilliant and define there characters so well expecially Gabriel Byrne,Benicio Del Toro and thee amazing Kevin Spacey who really drive the movie to the masterpiece status that it rightfully deserves.

one of the most creative fantasies of all time. I still choked up everytime i see this film.
