Marred By Being Formulaic

Rating: Null/10 (15 February 2004)

*SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD*
Great potential to be had by giving a character Godly powers, and some of these were used. However, by making this some kind of attempt at a moral play, and one that was very predictable and lukewarm, it took away the sheer fun that could be had exploiting Bruce's new-found power. But, the comedy moments, although mostly not classic, WERE funny. I laughed aloud when Bruce controls Evan Baxter's voice and words (and gibberish) during a news report. I didn't like the lazy casting of Morgan Freeman as God, and thought the filmmakers could have done better there. Overall, quite a fun film, but too heavy-handed with the moralisin'.
