The movie is awesome. In fact, it is MADE of awesome. It's printed on awesome film, with awesome actors, awesome writers, awesome directors, awesome attendant set personelle, and shot in AWESOME VISION.

In the words of tsarina_bomba: It is an awesome cake, made of awesome, with awesome frosting.

In the words of mech_angel, when I asked "How can one movie be SO AWESOME?!": "It's Two Movies." And she's right; this movie is so awesome it suddenly and inexplicably became two movies.

Go see it. This is not hyperbole, it is mere reportage of truth.
