I thought the movie was great, and did an outstanding job of bringing a comic book to life. It was really faithful to the source material, and I was glad that the action didn't disappoint. The movie is just a perfect pop-corn flick, where you can turn off your brain, and just enjoy the fireworks.
I can see how some people might complain how the movie is lacking characterization and all that good stuff that makes movies win Best Picture at the Oscars, but to those folks, I ask you this: how many of those were based on a comic book? I can't think of any, but I'm not a major film buff, so perhaps someone might enlighten me.
To add to that, I took a glimpse at the director's credentials, and apparently the only other experience the director has in actual film-making was Dawn of the Dead, the zombie movie... Big surprise that 300 isn't the next Gladiator eh?
