Another child of the 80s checking in...caught this movie on Saturday (premiere being on Thursday in Taiwan). Definitely rocking, the CG is pretty much as good as it gets, and the sound FX were rocking as well. Don't take things...

Damn...I just saw this today, but didn't stay for the credits although I normally do. Can someone fill us in? btw, having no prior knowledge of the comics, I thought this movie rocked. Story flowed together pretty well, special...
