I have never read the comics but I saw the previews and it looks so good! Unfortunately its not showing in our theaters right now. So I will either wait and see if it does or if I need to watch it through more nefarious means.

WELL. I have feelings about it. Spoiler-free.
- I did not like Dane DeHaan. He was very flat. He was the weak link in the movie.
- Cara Delevigne was flat when she was with him but good when with other people, so it was totally his performance bringing hers down. Bummer!
- The visuals were STUNNING. Really great.
- There were some really cool shots and scenes that made the 3D worth the extra cost.
- Some of the reviews talk about the "loose plot" and holes but I didn't find this to be the case. It has about as much plot as Luc Besson movies everdo.
- Some HILARIOUS moments, just like in Fifth Element, that will make me laugh every time.
- Extremely faithful to the vibe of the comics.
- Rihanna was shockingly good in her role. I was not expecting much from her.
- Needed a better score, but I'm a music nerd who really listens to that stuff.
- Total self-indulgence from the director. He took scenes that others would have made half the duration and he just went all the way with them. He seemed like he was having a blast making the movie, you know? Nice to see.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. I knew from the trailers that I was most likely not going to be sold on the leads' performances so I was not let down by them, I expected them to be 'meh'. I think the movie is very similar to Fifth Element in what it does well. It's a fun space romp! Totally worth seeing for the world-building and effects, I think, and I'll watch it again for sure.

I heard that the main guy didn't do a great job. I'm glad you enjoyed it other than that though!!

I've been really excited for it, but it doesn't seem like it's getting much buzz :/
