I thought going into the movie, it would be kind of cheesy, but this was a great flick. Kudos to Shane Black for such an imaginative script, and impressive directorial debut. He is the man and its nice to see him back in his element.

I also didn't expect to laugh so much. The dialogue and perfomances of Downey Jr. and Kilmer make some of the scenes hilarious.

Well worth the ticket. :wink:

Shane Black has written some of my favorite movies(Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout). I wont go to the movies to see this but i'm looking foward to the DVD. Val Kilmer has been quoted as saying this is the first time he's played a gay guy unless you want to include Iceman

The title sounds prety emo, but I like Downey.

I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. The plot was pretty interesting throughout and the comedy was quirky and funny. It has a couple of laugh out loud moments and Robert Downey Jr's casting was pretty much perfect. Kilmer played a great gay guy too, he has some funny moments as well. I'm not sure who the main chick is but she's mega-hot and takes it off. Good times.

I was confused by this at first, because the mood and plot is a bit in the realm of stuff like LA Confidential, but it's so much more unrealistic with the violence. A fantastic movie, though.

Comparing apples and asteroids. Two completely different kinds of films. KKBB is denitely more entertaining, though.

Watched this last night, I enjoyed the entire movie. It was hard to get used to at first and I was a bit annoyed and started to get confused. I thought Kilmer's character was hilarious. Even though the plot was a little out there I was entertained throughout. Pretty "different" kind of movie.

I can't believe I hadn't commented on this already. What a great, fun, well-written movie. This is what Smokin Aces wanted to be but failed miserably.
