Good original Sci Fi flick, overrated, but still good.

Rating: 6/10 (19 February 2005)

The story is creative, its a super hero movie that you don't find out is a superhero movie until its over, and the use of time travel and world destruction is new as well. The pace is off, it feels much longer then it is, thats a problem, it makes it feel boring, even though it really isn't, it feels that way. I was expecting Donnie to do a lot more then he did, i was expecting more pranks and anarcistic deeds then what we got, we see him flood the school, burn a house, shoot someone, thats it, for entertainment value we should get some funny and shocking mischief. The performances were decent, no Oscar material, but tolerable. It has its moments, but overall, it could be a much better film, 6 out of a 10. I hope to see more films that kelly writes, but not directs, hopefully since Scott is directing Domino it will be a great movie with a great story.
