Okay I had seen the trailer, but I hadn't read any of Frank Miller's stories. Having an anti-Bruce Willis bend, I wasn't inclined to see this movie anyway. (No doubt his ego demanded they put all that hair on his normally bald dome.) Very few movies can get along only on Black-And-White, and this is one of them. The spot color works very well. It is so dramatic, it only adds to the comic book feel.
It is extremely violent so I wouldn't take along the kids. Too cheap to get a babysitter? Then don't go! Some parts have nudity and some are so over-the-top, you just sit and laugh.
The way you see the characters and stories overlap reminds you of Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction." All of a sudden you realize the movie doesn't follow one time line.
See it. It's not one of the greatest movies ever, but it is entertaining and different.
