OK, but not a serious film

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2005)

Not terrible, but I agree with another poster that even The Hulk is a much much better picture. Chiklis was the best of the bunch, followed by the human torch guy. Nip/tuck guy was OK, but I'm just not a huge fan. The others were stiff. I love Dr. Doom in the comics/cartoons, but he felt like a totally different character in this movie.
I believe the movie was either aimed at a pre-teen crowd or just was one of the corporate it's-OK-if-it-sucks-cuz-we're-riding-spiderman's-coattails type comicbook movies. The dialogue was very poor, and there was no believable logic in character development... not nearly enough at least.
I give it a 6, cuz it does have a few fun parts and Chiklis always kicks butt.
My rankings of comic book movies that come to mind, starting with the best: The Crow A+ Spiderman 1 A+ Spiderman 2 A Hellraiser (was it a comicbook?) A X-Men 1 and 2/Hellboy/Batman Begins/Blade 1 and 2 A- Batman/The Hulk/Sin City B Fantastic Four/a couple of Batmans C most of the other Batmans D to F
