Hopefully it will be really bad so we don't have to suffer through two horrible sequels?

Or hopefully the movie will be really good and they'll just leave it at one, and wont try to come up with some of their own storylines to make a sequel.

Natalie Portman gives me hope for the movie though.

Well it's based off a 300+ page graphic novel so assuming movie can stick almost exact to it and then be done. Alan Moore separates himself from all the movies based on his work so it's all up to the directors to make it good. If just stick to book should be mighty fine.

Visually Reloaded and Revolutions were fine. Just horrible plot. So they have a good story already for this movie.

EDIT: Apparently Moore hates the script whereas David Lloyd (the artist) likes it. *shrug* But suppose to be most faithful adaptation of a Moore book.

You mean the cheesy DBZ final battle was visually appealing to you? The whole time I thought I was watching an episode of DBZ. I almost walked out when he slammed him into the ground and it caused a crater ala DBZ style. I was like "No they didn't!" but they did.

The sequels just didn't have the awesome that the first had.

But anyway that's a discussion for another thread I suppose.

Well sticking that fight in there is part of the plot/story/whathaveyou. Meh...don't want to make it look like I thought those two movies were any good....I'll leave that for my Batman Begins bashing.

Excellent movie. I love Natalie Portman.. she is such a good actresses...

I learned that they only have one take and one take only to film her getting her hair cut. I bet part of her was really crying because she was losing her hair ... hehe...thats half the battle.

and the whole subliminal messages about totalitarianism or the criticisms of governments whether it be U.S. or not....I don't care about... It's based off a novel, and now it's a movie...

This movie will probably spark huge political discussions...
