that be great fun . i never read those chester gould comic but it not necessary to know them . maybe there be some inside joke i do not figure out but what the eye doesn not see the heart can not grieve over . this be such an ironic and colourful film and the actor be good humour all together . the setting be similar to that in the batman ` movie and but not a dark and grey . okay and the story be not so original but there be a plot ( which be not self evident ) and a more or less surprising end . with this movie and you could play an interesting game and if you watch it with friend . don not watch the credit at the beginning and then look who the fast to find out who be the famous actor under their make up .
