This movie was terrible

Rating: 1/10 (26 June 2007)

If you liked this movie, it's because you have the mind of a 13-year-old. Awful script. Just awful.
Superhero movies don't have to be devoid of true character depth and expertly woven dialogue, but they seem to be getting worse in those respects and this film is at the top of the list as far a Hollywood studio crap.
The acting is teeeeerrrrrrrrrible. In fact, the acting in this movie sucked so bad, I can't really say if I even remember the direction or the the lighting being good or bad. The special effects definitely weren't spectacular.
All in all, I will say that it's sliiiiiightly better than 300, which is the biggest disappointment I've ever encountered in a movie theater. Ever (I even went to the Apple store to listen to Zack Snyder and Fong, his DP, talk about their film-making process, which got me pumped on top of already being a fan of Frank Miller's work). If you liked 300, chances are you didn't read Frank Miller's graphic novel...because if you did, you wouldn't be able to stomach the film version, much in the same way that a person with any sense of superheroes and the infinite possibilities they give filmmakers to make really stupendous material should not have liked F42.
Zach Snyder, stick to commercials...
Tim Story, grow a pair and make your next superhero film for moviegoers with more than 2 brain cells.
