Hanna is one of those Filmspotting community dividers.

A- and part of a slate of Bechdel test passing, really strong, female character based films in my top-15 of the year. Last year felt like a pretty strong one too. Women!

C+

The film runs into cliche after cliche after she escapes from the facility. It also gets a lot more boring and goes over-the-top in dread. WE GET IT. MIRANDA IS EVIL.

B+/A-

My only major qualms were with how some of the chase scenes were shot/edited.

B-/C+

Brilliant first half ruined by an uneven, conventional second half.  Best part: Easily Tom Hollander's whistle.

Awesome everything. A.

I also think exactly the opposite of 1SO on literally every point he makes.

Just for fun I went back to my review to see how it would read as a literal opposite. It would start...

"I hate Joe Wright. I think he's very untalented. But I know what empty-headed spirit possessed him to create Hanna."

You suck so much. Hanna rules. Face facts.

I don't know how I can begin to form a rebuttal for such a well-articulated argument; and you managed to say everything in less than 50 characters. No wonder you're held in such high regard around here. We are all shamed by your wit and insight.

This right here, totally false.
