the movie held my attention the whole time. i was never itching to check my watch; in fact, i wouldn't even let myself get up and run to the bathroom. thus, at the end of the movie, i was shaky and felt like i was about to burst. i'm not sure if this was partially due to a full bladder but i think it was mostly because the movie was AMAZING. i'm going again this weekend. loved loved loved loved loved it!!!

i often noted the brilliance of certain artistic elements. i just remember a few key scenes where i really noticed something about the originality of a shot or the artistic use of color or light. the action sequences were also very well-tempered with short jabs of humor which were actually in very good taste and quite amusing (nothing corny or disappointing).
