From Awful To Pretty Damn Good In 30 Minutes

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2005)

The first half hour of this film made me want to cry: the poor acting, straying from the original story and the constant state of "What the heck is going on?" Then something miraculous happened: Morgan Freeman. The second he hit the screen, everything in the DC universe was right again. Somehow, gracing the screen with his appearance caused the rest of the movie to be pretty damn good. He was funny and suddenly all of the acting was better, the action scenes gripping, the story more developed and fun and the audience made to realize that some things HAD to be changed in order to accommodate a modern day audience. It was really really good. Go see it.
