If there's a good story, I think I'll go. If the story is lacking, I won't. Graphics are a way to sell the story. If it is computer-generated graphics, so be it.
I'll put it this way:
It seemed to me that the story was there before the pictures. That is, the film was made to tell the story. The story is, admittedly, a bit clichéd, especially towards the end, but it's still a good one.
And the pictures were great. It was far beyond any computer game I've ever seen.

Yesterday me and my brother were watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine that he downloaded from the Free H.D. Movies website. As we were watching that movie we found that it wasn't completely edited. Even captions appear in several scenes but I hope I'll get to watch this movie on D.V.D. someday 
That said, it was a perfect execution of a traditional story with a new element. But it was only...pretty good. Fairly good. Not too bad. I enjoyed it, but I wish it was a little...shorter.
Was that Onhell? weird.
Am I correct in understanding that the movie is sort of a metaphor for

This is why I'm not interested in this movie. Pretty much every review I've read says the same thing: excellent graphics, cliche story. Personally I don't think it's worth spending 12 Euros (at least that's what a friend of mine payed) just because of the excellent 3D viewing. Since the technology is out there, there will be many such films to come in the future, hopefully with an original story.
What I want to watch is Sherlock Holmes, because of Guy Ritchie directing it. I admit I wasn't impressed by the trailer, it seemed more action oriented, and had this "Hollywood influence" which usually ruins it for me, but the guy has done some really good movies, and I really like Sherlock Holmes, so I'll get back to you once I see it.

I have seen it on January the 2nd, in Poland.
I am a big Sherlock Holmes fan, so I had to go. I have read all the stories and seen most films and series, so first I had to adjust myself to the modern feel of this film, and the swift progression. The story is not the most original, but I am pretty sure you people are going to like the film.
As said, the tempo is at a very quick pace, with a lot of action, and there's quite a lot of humor as well.
Without revealing too much, I especially loved the way the maker "portrayed" the genius mind of Holmes. The thinking, the deducting, it looks pretty awesome.
And on top of that: 19th century London looks tremendous! A couple of times I had to think of the cover of Brave New World, but then in opposite chronological direction (Brave Old World
).
Yes, I saw Sherlock Holmes as well and I liked it rather more than I liked Avatar.
Fucking amazing!!

It's good to know that you liked it Foro since I know how much you like Sherlock Holmes. I'll write my opinion as soon as I watch it.

To tell the truth, I keep telling myself that it probably won't be that good, so I can go with rather low expectations, but at the same time I'm really eager to watch it, which probably means that I failed to lower them.
