Harry Potter becomes worse throughout the series. I can explain better in person. You'll eventually just want to finish books to finish the series.<br /><br />Sorry for screwing up that musical moment Faria, but there were many other songs that killed the soundtrack for me.

What I'm trying to say is that I had already planned to rent this but after hearing about this "gratuitous violence", being already squeamish and loving all things in the name of Ghandi, I'll probably skip this.

I thought the soundtrack was great, especially the title sequence with Bob Dylan. And that version of Hallelujah was the original by Leonard Cohen, not a cover. But yeah, the violence is what bothered me the most and the storyline was way too jumpy. I saw the movie with a guy who's never read the comic and he said it was all over the place. A sprawling story like that works best over a miniseries or a comic (of course.) I have to agree completely with this review – well, except for the soundtrack.

And yes, I could have done without the exploding bodies, the butcher's knife to the head, the bones bursting through skin, and seeing a man's arms sawed off. Ughh... Well done Benjamin.
