Horrible, Horrible Movie.

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2006)

This is one of the worst comic book adaptations I have ever seen. Yes, it's even worse than Daredevil. If you like quality film making and coherent movies with believable characters and an interesting plot, look elsewhere.
The dialogue and the characters are so cheesy I literally had a hard time trying to stay in the room while this movie played. There is essentially no character development. The plot is not captivating, and there's quite a lack of anything like a climax. The effects are mediocre, but the character interactions and dialogue really take away from any possible impressiveness of those effects that are well done.
I never read any of the comic books, but I don't think it's fair saying that you have to be a fan of the comics to enjoy the movie. If I wanted to read a comic book I wouldn't be seeing the movie, I'd be reading the comic book. I don't know if the tone and uh, cheesiness that's found in the movie is the same as in the comics, but I hope not. Either way, this movie has failed as entertainment. I don't know why people like it at all, unless of course they are younger than the average moviegoer.
As a summary, if you're looking for a good action/super hero movie, watch the second Spider-Man movie or the first two X-men movies, those are at least entertaining and well done.
