Not a Waste

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2007)

I saw this movie shortly after it came out in theatres. I wasn't big into the Marvel mayhem at the time but saw it on T.V and figured it would be a decent watch before bed. It was! What caught my eye at first was the luscious man who calls himself the 'torch' and although that's what caught my eye in the beginning, I soon found that the movie is much more than that. Unlike most; it doesn't play (too much) with the eye candy scheme of things that we see in a lot of movies these days. I loved the fact that they did background on each and every character presented. That's important to me when I sit down on my lovely couch and devote that hour and a half (or so) to a specific movie. Details are essential for me and this flick is a good example of how a "series" should start out! Overall good performances, well-written plot, thick personals and from time to time a bit of comedy to tie it altogether. :)
