Crazy to realize it's been 10 years since this dropped. I still remember seeing this on opening day in the afternoon that summer and being blown away. Blown away to the point that when I went to new york that summer to get ready for school, I copped the damn bootleg from chinatown and watched it over and over and over.
I know we talk a lot about movies changing the game but I think this is definitely one movie that changed the game, not just for comic book flicks, but movies in general. So many movies have come out since this movie that reference it in terms of how they want to "reboot" their stories or reinvigorate their franchises, Casino Royale being one of them. It didn't invent the reboot but it perfected it and started the trend we still have today.
Everything about this flick just sings and it's so on point and I remember being this 19 year old who felt like spider-man 2 was the pinnacle of comic book filmmaking but then this thing came along and made me go
and made me rethink that statement.
