anyone else seen this movie? i know the reviews dont seem to kind but i actually liked this movie. it was a simple and fun movie that was great to watch. the colors were fantastic. i think the last movie i saw that i thought was visually stunning was pan's labyrinth, and that wasnt nearly as colorful(better story though)

    I'm not too sure about this movie.

    looks kinda of stupid
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    I went because I liked the show, but didn't expect much. However, after thinking about it, how couldn't I have liked it. Directors and Producers from Fight Club, The Matrix, and V for Vendetta, Susan Sarandon, Nicole Ricci, and the kid from Into the Wild...an underlying critique of spectacle driven corporate capitzalism...the visual stimulation from all the crazy colors...it was very good.

    I want to give this a go.. It looks like a good fun escape from reality.

    I saw it with my son and thought it was great. A lot of fun. Kind of like Moulin Rouge as an action movie.

    Now I've seen Ironman...It's about a sexist superhero fuck, but has tom morello in it as an Afghani insurgent (very funny), and Speed Racer is about someone trying to do the right thing against difficult odds. I'll take the latter, especially because I had little expectations of it vs. Ironman which was critically acclaimed.

    Do they talk at a million miles an hour, like in the sixties cartoons?
