I saw it the same day as expendables. Pulled in a double feature. This one was just plain cool. The fight scenes were well done. It has a very anime type of feel to it. Man, it's really hard to explain this one.Can anyone give me some help?

Because we were discussing Avatar, I thought you might enjoy this.

Yeah, that's not my fault- no matter how I post the link, it comes out at http://Http://http// and then my link, so it eats it.

Just copy it and post it in a blank page. It should work.

I saw this yesterday and I have to say I think it's now one of my favorite movies. 

The movie plays through kinda like a video game (he gets points for doing things).  Scott is the main character and he has to go through all these mini-bosses to get to the final boss.  There's also a bit of an anime twist to the movie (like how he deals with awkward situations).  I really liked the comedy style, there was a bunch of times where something weird happens and Scott goes "wait...what?" in disbelief.  This gave me the message that the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, like it's not trying to be a video game/anime/comedy movie.  I love when filmmakers do this, as it allows the viewer to form their own interpretations of what they're seeing rather than the director shoving his message down your throat (well, through your eyeballs as it were).

Overall I really really liked it.  The concept, the theme, even the music made it tons of fun.
4.5/5 :bob:'s

Yeah, and it seemed like everyone who got involved in it didn't take themselves too seriously. I thought it was funny for Superman Brandon Routh to be the super-powered superior moron vegan. :D

Or Chris Evans to be the douchey movie star. That amused me greatly.

It was a fun movie.

Oh! that's who the vegan was?! I couldn't figure it out. I knew he looked familiar.

I don't know who the 'twins' were, but it was fun to see all the cameos.

I found it very amusing that the nerdy canadian had to fight a bunch of American superheroes (Superman, Johnny Storm/Captain America). Thomas Jane (the Punisher) even showed up.
