I just watched the “domestic” directors cut of this, It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it so I’m not sure what’s really different. It really doesn’t matter cause it’s such a great movie.

It has been a long time since I’ve seen it so I thought I’d rewatch it to see if I still really enjoyed it and yeah, it’s so much fun.

It’s really cool watching the three characters grow into their powers. It’s a nice take on the whole superhero genre.

Edit:

This movie has a top-tier cast.

Michael Kelly: of House of Cards fame

Micheal B Jordan: Whose career is peaking and he has delivered since the Friday Night Lights days.

Dane DeHaan: he does not have Hollywood looks at all, but every time I see him, the dude just shines on screen.

    I love the Akria ending this has. It’s pretty sad if you think about it. The one guy was just trying to help his cousin be more outgoing and accepted, and it was working. Then the kid goes off the deep end, and the guys the only one left, all alone.

      Yeah, I wonder if that was his own demons or if the exposure to the crystal exacerbated his mental state.

        I would tend towards it being his own demons personally. There really wasn’t any hinting that the crystal affected their mind from what I remember… other than giving them unparalleled power.

        If only he had not received that BJ…
