| Saw this for the first time yesterday. I am not very fond of Keanu Reeves in "serious" roles, and am NEVER a fan of Downey, Jr. so why I watched it, I don't know. But I did.
And surprise, I thought it sucked. Story was predictable, Downey, Jr.'s character irritated the hell out of me, and well that's all really.
The music was pretty cool, very moody, sometimes seemed a bit much but overall B+ good composition just some not my style.
The graphics were interesting, and once you know the story it is actually pretty necessary to really get the tone of the book it was adapted from. For that I give kudos, as well as wicked looking digital titties. Bravo.
But the lame story, excessive language (not necessarily "bad words" but poor script), and Downey Jr. just kill it. Oh, Wynona Ryder helps it suck, too.
What did everyone else think? | |

| I wont get into why Streex would love it...but if he saw it he would understand. I think its a great movie, but can totally understand why most people think it sucks. | |

| Ok now I guess I'll have to throw it on Netflix. Can I stream it on Wii? | |

Yes, since I did the free 2 week trial thing I have found that the $10 a month charge is well worth it, though I hardly use my Wii for it because of the problems I have with it (thinking that might be my Wii and not Netflix but...). My comp screen isn't quite as big but I can watch HD on it as opposed to Wii. I recommend watching this on an HD-computer stream instead of using Wii. | |

| I'll stream it via Wii for the wife and I on one of our movie nights.
I just tried to add it but Netflix was down for maintenance. I'll get it up there later. | |

| Just saw it and didn't like it. ZeldAnTales, you say the art style was a necessity for matching the book so I'll have to take your word for it, but it gets on my nerves. I liked Woody Harrelson's part. When he was in the scene it was entertaining. The movie had its moments that humored me like when they were stranded on the side of the road. Great writing there. Overall it just didn't go anywhere. I bet the book is way better. | |
