This film was not meant to be taken as serious as a say Dark Knight and it is a throwback to the dime novels and serials of the past. It was just pure entertainment, funny, exciting, tragic, and visionary. I'm sad to have not seen it in the theater and let my attendance be influenced by critics.

the critics and i never seem to be watching the same movie anyway, so ill dismiss the difference in opinion. i thought this was an amazing movie, my favorite seen recently. it has everything i like in a movie: comedy, tragedy, drama, romance, excitement, fantasy, cool characters, quotable lines... not to mention the visionary directing use of the colors red, black, and white to accentuate the story. i had a great and time and would not mind being entertained again!
