Not hugely enjoyable and not very well written

Rating: 2/10 (20 February 2007)

Just saw this film and to be honest i fell asleep twice. The basic premise of the story and trailers sounded good. I've always liked Marvel comics, but this was really a bad advert for comic-to-movies!! The worst part seemed to be the script, all good stories have a beginning/middle/end. This one started out bad, there was no depth of explanation to the characters, i'm still a little vague about the mad bad guy and who he was (not the devil the other chap)and why he was bad and therefore why he was so scary. The other little helpers he had i had know idea who they were, why they were bad and therefore why they were supposed to be scary. Without having a beginning to set the scene the baddies lacked any reason to be scared of them. The special powers of the goody didt seem all too special either, so it was hard to know if he had some magic trick up his sleeve. The end was cheesy and weird and it was difficult to muster up any support for the character when there was no character depth to explore what exactly it was he was fighting for. All this was backed up by approx 30 people walking out before the end, it reminded me of England vs Spain, lots of hype, but delivering spectacularly short!
