"There is something a little lackadaisical here. The set pieces are surprisingly flat and the characters have little resonance. Fight scenes don't hold a candle to Asian action. Even the digital effects are ho-hum. Armageddon never looked so cheesy."

      I was very intrigued by the trailers for the movie but will now probably wait to see it at the dollar flics.

        Boooo....I'm actually really looking for to this movie. After seeing the trailer I went and bought the graphic novel and finished it in about 3 days. I thought the book was amazing, hopefully the movie can come close to matching it. I personally loved 300 so that was also a plus. I'm going to be seeing this the midnight it comes out regardless of the pre-release reviews.

            I expect this to get serious pans by the phony sophisticates who make a living tearing apart the work of artists who do what they cannot. The book is amazing and has the reader step into an alternate perspective. I expect those who don't get the movie will be those individuals whose imaginations are lacking anyway.
