I saw it on Monday because no single theater outside of one fucking city in the entire fucking country got the movie. I was about to PIRATE IT (they left me no choice) but a friend brought the Region 1 import DVD.

I was bored for the first half hour, but once the fights started and the characters began to DO stuff, it wasn't bad. Some of the story is very different from the comics, which was a good call in some parts, but weird in others.

My review in ten words: "Fuck you, Michael Cera, I'm not supposed to like you!"
