My time has come!...

Aaaaaaaaaaaah, the relief! For those of you who can't tell, I have finally defeated my movie nemesis "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". I expected it to, well, suck. I mean, seriously... it would hafta suck after I waited so long for it. No movie could live up to the image I had made up of it in my head after all the waiting. After all, I had been waiting for the movie for a bit over a year. And the three day wait after my initial failed attempt to watch it only served as a whetstone for the desire burning within me. It had to suck.

But it didn't. It didn't suck at all. In fact, it was bloody fantastic. I laugh, I cried, I went oooooooh. It was everything that I expected it to be. Why was it so great? Lemme make it easy for you. It was great because:

1. It was like watching a 40's action comic come to life
2. The sound effects for the movie were like a throwback from 50's movies
3. Did I mention that it looked like a 40's comic? Look at all the funny technology!
4. The characters even sounded like they were from a 40's comic. I swear that one of them is like how Lois Lane used to be! Really!
5. I'm a sucker for this sort of stuff...

In short, all of the old comic sensibilities that were infused into the movie had me. I was "made its bitch" as it were. If it was a woman I would have wanted this movie to have my baby. 1 billion stars over 10. You get the picture. Maybe it's only the fanboy within that is talking and tainting my view on the whole thing, but go watch the movie.

Rumoku out!

Addendum: I still think that the movie could have done with a leeeeeeetle bit more Angelina Jolie. She looks so hot with an eyepatch. Is that legal?
