Hanna

Hanna is about a little girl that's trained to be a perfect killing machine.

I don't know about this one, it seems interesting and at the same time it seems like it might not be all that great :

Joe Wright's directing. That means it will end up being boring Oscar Bait.

Anyways, I feel the film looks like a pale imitation of the Hit Girl scenes in Kick Ass and Salt.

looks interesting to me. Saorise Ronan is a young, very talented actress, and it's always a delight to see her perform. Heck, she's almost regarded unanimously as one of the only good things about The Lovely Bones (this is popular opinion, not mine; I'm in the minority of people that actually enjoyed the movie).

I don't think we can establish such a pattern for him quite yet.

I just saw the most recent TV spot on this and apparently she's a genetically engineered being. Is it supposed to be Never Let Me Go (boring Oscar Bait) reimagined as an action film or something?

This sorta looks like just the Distaff Counterpart to the Bourne movies, but the pre-release buzz I've heard is very positive, so I'm pretty excited for it now.

What you wanna bet that, when this movie comes out, there are gonna be buttloads of "Hannah Montana as survivalist assassin" jokes?

But the joke doesn't work because she only has one 'h' in her name

Oh, HELL yeah!

I wanna see this movie!

It looks pretty awesome.

She reminds me of X-23 and Hit-Girl.

Spill.com Review

If you don't feel like listening to the whole thing, basically it was a mostly positive review. Two of the reviewers gave it a Matinee while the other two gave it a Full Price.

If you do listen to the review, be ready for some Sucker Punch bashing though the first third of the review.

Joe Wright says he might try to do a sequel.

it could be called Hanna and her sisters

I wanna see it Saoirse Ronan is so talented, and with Joe Wright at least you know it's going to look pretty, but yeah I loved Atonement

Apparently all the other girls ike Hanna were killed before the film begins or something.

He said he just wants to watch and see what Hanna will become as she gets older or something like that.

And Fun Fact: The script was, apparently, written in 2006.

I saw this Tuesday at an advance screening, GREAT movie. I want to see more.

So I saw it today and loved it to pieces. It wasn't until I realized that Hanna was basically a modern fairy tale that I started really liking it. Sadly the old biddies next to me who kept being baffled by the constant stream of fairy tale motifs annoyed me to no end.

I'm still a bit confused as to why it got an R rating though. There were gory discretion shots up the wazoo.

I watched the trailer for it and it said it was rated PG-13.

-checks-

Hey, you're right. I guess I misread the showings sign at the theater.

Sometimes the posters and mylars will have wrong or outdated information. I once went to see The Fountain and the mylars had it listed as being rated R. It was actually PG-13 (due to being cut down for that rating) and was correctly shown in the papers and sold as such.

More recently when The King's Speech recut came out, the mylars weren't updated and it was still listed as being rated R.

Best action-thriller I've seen in awhile.

I just saw it. Was loving it for most of its run-time, but the ending was a bummer of an Anti-Climax.

Oh goodness I forgot to gush! This was one of the better action films I've seen. Has its own delightful fairy tale character to it.

I enjoyed this movie, but I kinda wished for Hanna to die, not because I hate her just that I think it would be more dramatic.

I liked it as well, but I thought the ending was a little anti-climactic.

I hate that the Downer Ending today has pretty much been equivocated with being "dramatic". Some Downer Endings are dramatic. A Downer Ending in and of itself, is not, it's just dumb.

I think the ending was somewhat anti-climactic because it just involved Hanna fighting one normal lady with a gun in a climbing climax. I was maybe expecting a River tam style kill 50 guys type thing although that would not have fit with the tone and have been stupid in its own way.

Also it kind of lacked denouement as i was expecting her to reunite with the family or declare her intention to walk the earth or something, not just sort of walk away and the movie ends
