Good fun, set up for a franchise.

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2005)

HUMOR and they don't take themselves too seriously. A fair amount of well written comedy. Effects are solid, not over done.
I grew up on these comic books and I normally DO NOT like the translation to the screen. But, they did an excellent job.
Probably the best setup I have seen in a long time.
I have to figure that after this set up, a good one, Movie 2 is almost done, in the can.
The next one could be a 10!
NEGATIVE: Why does everyone from BatMan to Spider Man to the FF have to have foreboding Gothic penthouses at the top of skyscrapers in NYC?
