I recently wrote about the sometimes disappointing clash between one's expectations of a film and the actual experience of the film. I fretted a bit over the prospects for future summer features after "Prometheus" stomped its big stupid Noomi Rapace-wasting foot on my dreams.
I also wrote about how great it is when a movie defies your low expectations and, to the contrary, wins your heart.
What I didn't speak to was the thrill, the deep, heart-racing, exhilarating gratification, of a film that exceeds your sky-high hopes.
No spoilers, no further comment necessary, save:
This guy?
Doesn't disappoint.
Go see it! Longer post coming when I know there's less of a chance of spoiling it for anyone.
