Well, it wasn't as good as I hoped. I can see it being maybe more inspirational to teenagers, but I thought there were a couple things hurting the film:

1. The Mask: I can see how this would work great in a comic book, but on film the lack of expressiveness coupled with the amount of screen time kind of takes the life out of things.
2. Lack of Backstory: There just wasn't enough attention paid to the context. The Fascism wasn't really realistic... seemed like too much of a disconnect between how evil/hitlerian the High Chancelor was, and how benign most of the people who worked for him were and how bland daily life seemed to be.
3. Essence of Drama: I wasn't consistantly hooked. Like, there was no oppression, no evidence of discomfort or fear, no uber-patriotic hooligans. It's not until 3/4 of the way through that you really get anything to empathize with or against. I just was never emotionally sold on the stakes, which is close to a mortal wound for this story.

Still, enjoyable, if not the masterpiece some were hoping for. And Natalie Portman is pretty easy on the eyes, so there's that.

Finally, as an afterthought, here's The Koran, searchable, browsable, etc. Good to know about.
