It is becoming ever more clear that David Fincher is one of Hollywood's most promising talents, and his pictures seem to mature in both subject matter and craft with every step. This is a movie to get excited about- it's the kind of sweeping epic that places us somewhere else and makes us excited about the movies again.

Weren't you annoyed with the modern day scenes?
I think it would have been infinitely better if they had kept those to a minimum.
