Great movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2006)

I really don't understand why the low score. I thought this movie was great. When I first stepped out of the theater I thought this one was just behind spider man and x-men for the best super-hero film. It had just about everything I expected from it, action, special affects, a decent storyline, good looking cast and lots of humor (which is lacking a lot of times in super-hero films). Finally somebody have the guts to say that being a super hero is cool! instead of it always being such a burden. I thought that was great, and fresh. Another thing I loved about the movie (and spoiler up ahead!) is that a lot of times when you go to see a movie you know a little bit about what's gonna happen and you have to sit and wait for all the beginning that you already know from all the trailers and publicity, and wait for the good stuff. Here we knew that Michael Chicklis is gonna turn into the thing. So the first time we see him after his back from space they play a little joke on us. We are sure we know what's gonna happen, we are sure we're gonna see the thing in that mirror, and than it turned out that we were wrong. They played a game on us, and I thought that was brilliant and smart and funny. Anyways, I'd recommend this movie to everyone, it has just about everything you'd want from a movie like this and it's a lot smarter than people give it credit.
