the movie was everything i have been waiting for since i first heard rumors of its impending creation. the fact that the only two movies in the last 10 years i have had 0 complaint about when walking out were both Frank Miller adaptations is no coincidence, in my mind.
the acting was well done, without being hammy (my last lingering fear). the costuming breathed life to the pages of miller’s work, the score and sound effects were superb. in a movie with so much death, they still managed to make the poignant deaths heavy. there were several times i got chills.
go see it.
