TheBlackSox8 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 A post-apocalyptic Western, in which a lone man(Washington) fights his way across America(with a samurai sword) in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind. Gary Oldman, Denzel Washington......print my ticket now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, this movie isnt going to please the masses, the story is complex and very dark, and Zach Snyder supposedly kept it very close to the actual story. I think Watchmen fans will love it, but the casual movie fan will think its ok or that it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the battle, they fight until their spears break, swords dull, and go hand to hand until the very end. That's badass to me, at least that's how it was taught to me. So, it was very anti-climactic for me, when after fighting all these mythical creatures and s***, what takes them down after 2 days of fighting is a bunch of flipping arrows.

I loved that movie too. It's not supposed to be realistic, so the people who call it such are the ridiculously laughable ones. It's a graphic freakin' novel.

Â Are you serious? Â I thought only a select group of guys aged 14-28 enjoyed it, and I certainly wasn't even a part of that select group. Â Yes, a lot of those guys liked it, but that was it. I have yet to find a woman who enjoyed it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
