The The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen-inspired tale in itself was especially fun, with young Charles Darwin and his monkey pal stealing the show.
Oh, and if you're not as manly as me, you'll definitely cry with this one.

I absolutely LOVED The Fall!
I don't really agree with your "style over substance"-remark because to me this is one of the rare "style AND substance" movies.
The little kid in the film is simply adorable, and you have to applaud Tarsem Singh's use of some of the most beautiful locations on the planet. Nearly every shot was breathtaking - especially if you had the chance (like me) to watch this on the big screen. And the use of colour is as impressive as Zhang Yimou's best work. Heck, it even brought an ode to Hollywood stunt men...
And yes, I cried with this one.
