I loved this movie. Went in with low hopes after reading some poor reviews (though ebert/roeper loved it), but throughout the movie was completely blown away. It was freaking AWESOME. the dark edge and melodrama was ok, didn't bother me much. there were some storytelling liberties, but nothing too far out. the end was kind of psychedelic. ALMOST ruined it all for me. But thankfully, it didn't. Everything else about the movie was amazing. Better than spiderman. Better than X-men 1 and 2. Better than Daredevil (of course). Destroys matrix reloaded. Warning: gotta go in with an open mind.
