yeah, thanx. i figured as much just wanted to be sure. i mean look at evil dead. from the looks of it, Ash dies in the end of one but then comes two and three and whole load of comicbooks and videogames. i hope they don't ruin it by making a sequel. like i said before, it was like Rocky but with the hero being a wrestler instead of a boxer.also to use spoilers just put the word "spoiler" in square brackets at the beginning what you want to type as a spoiler (obviously without the inverted commas) and then "/spoiler" in square brackets after you've finished typing the spoiler. and in case you were wondering, you do the same thing to type in bold and italics....only this time you jus put [b] or [i] instead of
Spoiler:~Sado
[spoiler]thanks
Yay!!! This movie ended the streak of dissapointing films. For the first 30 minutes or so I had serious fears that it was going to make it 4 in a row. That's not what happened though, not at all. The next 75 minutes were some of the most interesting and powerful, and especially poignant that I have seen this year. Not the best film, and it JUST failed to crack my top 5 (which is only because we've had a year of plenty of excellent films). Great film, moving, enjoyable, exciting and most of all interesting.

I had this movie's ending ruined for me by one of my teachers. I've been upset all day, that *****.
unfortunately i share your anger haha, my boss had been talking about it and he totally ruined it for me! Still i hear great things about this movie (bit of a downer) but it is on my to do list for sure ha
I saw last night and whatta a FUGGEN GREAT MOVIE! F ck that shit of Milk...Rourke deserved that Oscar with all merrit and not that shit face Penn. But shit The Oscars anyways and their political agendas. Great works don't require awards to be masterpieces.
How good was it? Well, it made sour old WD cry....that's just friggin rare!
FIVE FRIGGIN STARS OUT FIVE!
If you don't see this movie you suck.....PERIOD!
Mickey Rourke is, like, a very good actor.

lol ^By the way, I finally saw Milk and wow, after all the praise some members *coughHowardBealecough* were giving it, I didn't think it was that good. Like seriously, The Wrestler was infinitely better!
Hugely overrated film in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of Darren Aronofsky but this was I feel by far his weakest film, and so uncharacteristically unremarkable when you stack it up next to his other wildly unique and differentiated films. After watching Pi, Requiem for a Dream, and The Fountain which artistically and thematically were so masterfully made, going on to direct a simplistic story with little to no differentiating factor was a pretty big letdown. Not to mention even within the confines of a simplistic story I still felt there was a lot that was wrong with the film, primarily the ending which I thought was slightly trivialised (for me anyway there was little emotive quality behind the way it was handled - the screen going black and hearing the heart rate monitor flatline), as well as not putting enough emphasis and detail into the situation and the general atmosphere of the story and the character's mind frame that prevented him from meeting his daughter, which served as a pretty pivotal element of the plot (not to mention making it extremely hard to sympathise with the character, when, at least as far as how it's presented, he so pointlessly and mindlessly ruined his opportunity to renew a relationship with his daughter).
A 6 or 7 at best for me, in stark contrast to the high 8s and 9s of his other films.
