agree forummers' rating of this movie...disappointing

americanized ( read bastardized).... the original version although with lesser than the state of the art technology was actually more enjoyable...particularly the fighting scenes involving the skeletons ...

overall rating : 2/10 soft pop corns

cant quite decide how to rate this movie...

in it, the director tried to humanize the japanese imperial soldiers... imo, that failed miserably....

storyline is no more than expected... the special effects were mediocre..

too much talking for a war movie...

the only saving grace was Ken Watanabe's camera presence

overall rating : -2/10 smelly pop corns

Just watched Shutter Island.

I must say this is an excellent A+ movie with (complicated) twisted plot ...

You held your breath when Teddy come back to reality and admit that he was Andrew Laeddis. He asked Dr. Sheehan if it was better to live as a monster or die as a good man before he was taken for the lobotomy by the guards ...

Movie was filmed in Massachusetts, excellent gated scenes, metal staircases, demolition of surrounding buildings and old walls which created suspense in mind ...

Take home message - you would realise if you are a living in own delusion dream or existing in a simulated reality? What is it?

i've almost always enjoyed nicholas cage movies...even though in this show, he had a cameo role...

entertaining... visually captivating.... run of the mill super hero storyline with a comical twist... suitable for adults and children (except for some foul languages)

overall rating : 5.5/10 pop corns

KickAss

Steve is a pretty versatile comic. I like him... :D
