I saw it Sunday afternoon, and I think it was phenomenal. Definately the best movie of the year so far. The battles were great, and so were the visuals. It really should win some Oscars for its visual effects. The story and acting was also great, especially the dialouge and narration. Of Course, this is to be expected, coming from a comic by Frank Miller. He writes the best dialouge. I think its great that directors are now doing movies that hardly alter Miller's work. That's how you make a great movie. Despite Miller not co-directing 300, I think it was easily on par with Sin City, possibly even better.
