THE FILM Despite some traditional slowmo and semi-interesting fighting choreography, the fight-scenes are AT BEST mediocre. Since we all know exactly whats gonna happen and don't care about the "characters" it's never EVER exiting; there is no tension. And the fights are all there is to this movie... Music and situations are at 100% adrenaline/drama all of the time, from first to last frame. So you kinda loose interest.
THE POLITICS Now, for the story/moral. If you'd studied history, you know this film is like a total ripoff of Nazi Germany, Pol Pot or extreme rightwing American propaganda. Which is kinda remarkable. This is a highly political, prowar, racism film, i see no other reason why it would be made in this way. If he just wanted to make a "fun action film" he wouldn't have done it so flamboyantly bias. And that he is doing it from an old comic book, what kind of lame excuse it that? Sin Sity did not have this problem (that was a good film, it was extremely "comic book stylish" but managed to work as a film anyway).
Even if you disregard plot, characters, politics, acting and music (and how the **** can you?) this is still a pretty boring film.
THEY SHOULD HAVE Cut together a 10min action-sweep with the best fighting scenes (there are about 10min of them, the rest is just repetition). I would probably give that a 7/10. But the film in its current form is just silly.
YOU LIKE IT? Sadly many people that like the film says "its just a film, but by the way: its kinda of like that in the world today/the film brings up a important issue these days". Sorry, but if you though this was a truly great/ revolutionizing film you should really think through who told you how the world working. You watch Fox News?
