It was great. Sympathy for lady and Mr vengence are less good, but still pretty. The trilogy is part of my humble collection.

Did you watch a dubbed version or the original with subtitles?

it's one of those mind fuck movies. You have never seen anything like it. You may be deeply disturbed afterwards. Also one of the most badass and original fight scenes ever.

Its pretty cliched, and doesn't really appeal to people who don't live their entire lives in a lily-white, suburban haze.

the ol' violent-mystery-solving-why-was-i-kidnapped-and-trapped-in-a-room-for-15-years-mind-fuck-ending movie that only white people like. how many versions of this movie must we inflict on the dilettante masses. come up with a fresh idea, world.

The entire thing is ripped from Bollywood movies. I suppose you'd have to be as knowledgeable about foreign cinema as myself to make the connection.

yeah I don't claim to have seen a lot of movies or to be a film buff but my jaw literally dropped a couple times.

pretty sure it was subtitled.

it's been awhile so i couldn't make a strong case against the movie, just that i remember the narrative being kind of awkward or cluttered (as most manga adaptations are wont to do)

the ending to me was like "oh, okay. that's pretty crazy i guess" it didn't flip me out like it did with most people. so i must not have had that much invested in the characters

but like i said its been a long time so maybe i'll change my mind with another viewing

yeah that is a valid criticism. It was kind of hard to follow at times

it has a good plot and it is pretty suspenseful the first time you watch it but i don't really like the "style" of it
