Yeah. I get the whole "fighting as a single unit" part, but those guys jumping 20 feet in the air at people didn't convey that at all. Where was the "single unit" when Leonydis was fighting the boss with the big axe? All I'm saying is, for someone who doesn't read the comic/graphic novel/whatever, the movie isn't that good. It was close, but it didn't reach it. If the movie is good only if you read the novel, that's a bad prerequisite. To an outsider, the movie just had some weird flow/continuity/theme problems. I couldn't decide if this was a tragedy, a tale of justice, a story about believing in something and sticking to it, etc. The movie was like a runaway freight train, barely all over different plot themes. The only reason I'm still defending my opinion and haven't lost interest already is because this movie came so close to being that damn good. When it is released on DVD, I'm going to attempt to capture the entire movie, and re-edit it and make it work.
