Sub-par, even for a "Marvel" movie

Rating: 3/10 (7 August 2005)

Sub-par is a nice way to say what I thought of the film. I don't know the comic, but it shouldn't be required to in order to see the film. Now, I don't know how things usually go, but the plot is pretty much one of the worst I ever seen. There's holes the size of football fields, and some of the worst clichÃ©s I could ever imagine.
So, what was the weakest part? Acting wasn't all that bad, but the plot really didn't help. The action sequences were very few (and that was the only thing that could have saved this movie). The worst of all was the bore. Yes, I saw people sleeping through some of the movie. It was real tedious, in some parts. God, the scientific approach was way too made up to even be slightly believable. I laugh at this movie's weak attempt to merge fiction and reality! I won't spoil it for you, I always try not to. But damn this was a total thumbs down. It's definitely the worst Marvel film I've seen, so far, and that's not an easy thing to judge, since almost all of them are so bad, well all but X-Men.
I would strongly advise directors to take a look at Christopher Nolan's work in Batman Begins. That should set an example for all comic book adaptations. But, instead, it seems it's the exception, one of the few that was actually worth it. I do hope things change in the next few years.
4/10 (should be less, but...)
