Oh Marvel, not another one

Rating: 2/10 (8 March 2007)

I'll keep this short. This movie was really, really bad. It's main "sins" were the bad acting, the pointless moments of unfunny silliness and that it was developed for an audience of the age of 12 and a day. To be fair the visual effects were breathtaking and some fragments of a very few action scenes hinted on how the whole movie should have been made. But what do you expect from Nickolas Cage, come on, no really Why do they still choose him to ruin movies? But it wasn't all him, oh no, this vanilla-dark tale of the flame skull bike riding legend was doomed for so many reasons. It's a story about someone who sells his soul to the devil, going for PG 12 says a lot about how it's going to turn out. STOP MAIKING MOVIES FOR 8 YEAROLDS! I am a comic book reader and I am not criticising the story it's self, yes, it's from a comic book, it's a comic book movie, but so is Spider-man or X-men or the HULK, yet this new Marvel movie pales in comparison.
To sum up, if you must, just because it's a comic book movie, go see it. But besides the respectable visuals don't expect to be moved or thrilled in any way.
Make mine Marvel? Not this time around I'm afraid
two stars ONLY for the visuals.
