I'm disappointed in this movie poster as it doesn't show 'Knives' (didn't catch her real name in the Spanish version). By the end of the film I thought she was the real star, this only shows Scott, Ramona, and his seven 'enemies'. 'Knives' gave up a little too easily at the end (glad I haven't put this on Facebook, otherwise wouldn't have mentioned the end) but she (her character) was gorgeous, lovely, and really went through just as much as Scott did! Initially I didn't like the comic book adaptation, nor the special effects (totally put off by the 'footprints' in the snow when Scott and Ramona went on the swings in their first date), but I must admit, the comic-bookness was integral to the plot, so HAD to be there! Me being me, I totally liked the first fifteen or twenty minutes without all that!
But yeah, this was the first film I've seen since I've been in Chile entirely in Spanish. For two or three months now I've felt prepared to watch a film in Spanish with ONLY Spanish subtitles, not English subtitles, but there were no subtitles with this. I didn't catch it word-for-word, missed whole sentences when I wasn't concentrating, but was 100% able to follow what was going on, understand jokes, and laugh out loud at times!
Good film! I NEED to watch more films! No disrespect to this film, which I really enjoyed, but I just don't watch enough films, not even one a month at the moment (in China it was about three a week), and that needs to change!
