Fantastically exceeded my expectations

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2005)

Let me just say, when I went into this movie tonight, I wasn't expecting a whole lot. The trailers made the movie look like it was just a bunch of jokes, with a little personal/group conflict thrown in there. I was just thinking it was another Marvel movie being made to milk the cow that was developed with Spider-Man and X-Men. It could be that, but in this instance, the movie rocked. It had a perfect blend of back story, action, and personal stuff to work out extremely well. Being a super hero movie, its obviously not Oscar quality movie, but it is perfect for what it is. Everything seems to fit, and the story is believable (to the point that comic books are believable).
All in all, this movie was a wonderful viewing experience. If you're expecting this movie to be wonderful, you won't be disappointed. If you aren't expecting a whole lot, you will be blown out of your seat.
