Viewing Notes

Watched the extended cut but didn’t easily notice the differences as Twohy suggests in his intro. Also haven’t seen this since release and forgot a lot of it. Still overwrought but love the dedication to the universe and world building. Insane that they created so much, sets and costumes, for one film. This would’ve been better served as a tv series to explore this universe and develop the mythology and characters.

I think Vin’s physique is the best it’s been. He is a specimen and looks great. Wild that this movie is nearly 20 years old. Doesn’t feel like it but holy christ so much has happened in that time.
