@CheezySpam Don't worry about TotBF being cut back in man. It really does work in it's own way of bookending each chapter and setting up mood and themes for what's to come next. The ideas of madness and despair really do fit well with the tone of the movie and Gerard Butler is great of course....


It's not unbalanced at all.. in fact it gives the audience a great break from some moments and paces out the film a little bit better IMO. I don't understand what you mean by "watching it on TV" though...

Awesome, I was hesitating on whether or not I wanted to get this... but you sold me!

I'm still *kinda* worried about how TotBF are mixed with the live action sections of the movie tho. In the graphic novel it was my least favorite part, but it did parallel the main story... so while I do understand the reason behind it in the comic, watching it on tv seems like it would be unbalanced. I was one of the few who enjoyed the theatrical cut since I never knew anything about the graphic novel until early buzz came out about the movie anyways.

oh well, for the amount of features and the web-comic included? that kinda sells itself. thanks for the review Kent. Amazon here I come!

@Cheshire Cat: The Black Freighter works with the plot, but it doesn't parallel the story or narrate it the way it did in the comics. It kind of works as book ending chapters and setting mood and tone for the next segment.

I'm thinking about getting the Ultimate cut, but I've already got the Director's Cut. Also, does The Black Freighter work in the movie's plot?
