I just sat down and watched this tonight. It's great in every sense of the word. Aside from the initial illeteration from the title character it's much better than I expected from a comic book movie.

Now the downside. The sad truth is that this film raises a ton of interesting talking points that will never be brought up by the average viewer. Most people will leave the film remembering the explosions and the action sequences and not the particularly biting social commentary. It's a sort of "1984" meets comic book weirdness in a word that practically mirrors the one we're living in without stepping all over it. This WILL be the future...it's just a matter of when.
