Anyway, I think a lot of people(read "pro" critics) have predudged this movie because of the many push backs on release dates. *USUALLY* continually pushing back the release date means a movie sucks ass.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>That guy gets it, he just prefers films that have depth in their storyline and, more importantly, characters. But, unlike the vast majority of critics and people, he can say "it might not be my cup of tea, but I can still see it's good". That's why you can at least respect his opinions</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Never did see his review on that one, so I can't comment. But on Equilibrium, I think he did, if the movie is what I think it is. He's also a big supported of anime, believe it or not, at least the mainstream stuff. IT's him who made Akira (1992), Ghost in the Shell, and Metropolis the Video Picks</div>
