Forumulaic superhero movie

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2012)

Wow. CGI and special effects fans will be enthralled. Nothing beats somehow transforming a normal human being into a short, super skinny weakling. And then a few scenes later, the same actor becomes an indestructible super-human specimen with 0.5% body fat. They must have spent a lot of time, effort and money to make that happen so seamlessly. It looks so real.
Unfortunately that also means that there was a lot less time, effort, and money remaining to create a story, build supporting characters, and make a deeper storyline. As it is, it's an entertaining movie. Has some great caricatures for supporting characters. Tommy Lee Jones does his usual bit as the sarcastic, abrasive, yet witty man in charge. Hugo Weaving hams it up as the bad guy who's super charged body rivals Captain America's. The girl is a throw in - but she's required because, this is the prototypical formulaic superhero movie.
6/10 nice to watch... once.
