Great Movie....
one to be seen
more than once.

You were almost right. I got a B-. I have also know it has gotten much lower grade. I have yet to see it. Not sure I want to.

I will promise everyone right now, 5 months before this movie is released, and before i've seen a poster, trailer or any other media, that this will be one hell of a movie. it will be an achievement in cinema in every way and will get an A+ on this site.

Trust me. I'm right on this one people.
