Wow, this movie totally blew me away. Can't speak about the actual comic, but this is probably Robert Rodriguez's best movie since El Mariachi, if not, his best ever. The only other movie in recent memory I could compare to it is Kill Bill, and Quentin Tarantino actually had a hand as a special-guest-director on this project- you definately see his influence. It's so artistic, and is the most symmetrical movie I've seen in a while...every episode goes full circle, as does the movie as a whole. You really feel like you're watching a moving comic-book also - most of it is black and white, with spots of color. I'm not going to go into the specifics...but all of you, if you haven't gone to the cinema in a while, now you have no excuse. (You don't have to wait till May 19th hehe) See it. See it now!!!!
