Franklyn [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]

This movie is a dark romance/tragedy. Four people come together in the end but it takes most of the movie to figure out what is going on. It left me with a feeling of 'Is this all there is... you must be kidding'. Overall, the acting is as good as the plot allows. This is not an action flick. Franklyn is not a super hero or a comic book villian. I guess it is not my kind of movie.

The bizarre looking city with the guy in the mask is really only 1/5 of this movie. Most of it is set in our world and is about average people. I use that word "about" loosely. Of this one and a half hour movie about an hour of it is just people sitting or standing around looking sad. It focuses way to hard on trying to set a mood and not actually doing anything. You could remove half the film and no one would notice. I don't think I've been this bored in a long time.

This movie is a unique view of the world from inside the mind of a insane person.
Think "One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest" in first person steampunk.
A cool movie.

I thought the acting in this movie was very realistic, it was good enough to where it seemed like I was watching, somebodies real life story..

Video quality was really good.

The story itself... was extremely unique in the way it was done. But honestly, just because it was unique, didn't make it a great movie. The plot twist were more annoying than actually being something worth while.

I would of rather our main guy. The one who wears the mask, of been a cliche'd hero. Because it would of been better. But it turns out, its a whole another deal.. He's not really a hero... etc.. I can't say much or I'd ruin the plot.

I will say, it all comes together at the end, now is it a pretty bow? no, but it does come together a certain degree.

Overall, its a decent movie. When the world switches over, to our Main guys world... He see's things differently, you have some really cool visuals. As someone who loves concept art, that made it worth while to me. If you like to be kept on your toes, and wondering whats going on... I'd say this movie is probably right up your ally.

Movies are like books, its a matter of perspective. Just because I found the movie to be 'So So' don't let that scare you away. Rent it for yourself.

I had never heard of this movie, and was wary of renting it because of the rating, but then realized that it only has 2 ratings so far and the person that rated it badly was probably either drunk or a complete idiot. This is a great movie. A dive into the subconscious makes people that enjoy "Transformers" or "GI joe" cringe, I'm sure, but this has a great mix of the "other" stuff: Surrealism, characters that breathe instead of mannequins, subtlety and an actual story. I'm an amazon movie junkie, and this is the best movie I've seen rentable so far. A+
