If you were one of those looking forward Roman as the weird kinda male version sequel of May you'll probably will get disappointed. But even so I recommend you to see it (you maybe like it, its up to your taste). First of all was very disappointing to see the visual quality... Video... it might be done in HD or MiniDV (I bet for the second one, also it might be the reason it went straight to DVD), in May you could see a good technical development specially in Art and Photography, here you cant see the same thing, the Photography is awful, and everything looks plain (In lots of time sub exposed) didn't saw any rhythm in the edition, there was raccord jumps in the lighting...The sound seems captured with the Mic of the camera, so you cant hear well the duologue's... in the tech view you feel like the movie is maded in a rush by some rookie.
The script isn't strong as May... The character development is dull, also tries to accomplish the same Black Humor that May had but fails on it, The character isn't deep, and doesn't have a justification to be as he is... (Sorry if a compare it with May a lot), you feel like the acting overacted... Its is really sad to see how this movie turned out... I really didn't like it at all... And i think seeing it one time its enough for me (I have see May six times and I still loving it)
The only thing that I liked was the soundtrack, it was so good that in a point of a movie I asked myself "How comes there's such good soundtrack in such crappy image?" its an awful contrast...
In conclusion...Roman its just disappointing, I dunno how after the great work on May, this movie ended like this, as I said before: if you're expecting something like May, you'll get disappointed, the movie its just plain bad, and I don't say this cuz was looking forward for a copy of May only male version (Maybe more like a JTHM :P), I say that its bad, cuz as a movie is bad overall... if someone likes it I'll respect their opinion, and Im looking forward to discuss about it...
