Waste of time and money...

Rating: 3/10 (17 February 2007)

First off, let me say that I am a fan of Marvel movies. There have been a few flops in the past, i.e. Hulk, but this one takes the cake. I am also a Nicholas Cage fan but was very surprised not only to see how his acting has deteriorated over the past films, but the fact had he accepted this role with such a poorly written script and previous flops in the box office. The acting was horrendous from almost every actor especially Eva Mendes. There was no connection between the characters to make the audience feel the acting was natural. The film ran way too long and I watched several people leave the theater half way through it. The first half was slow with no substance and didn't start to pickup until half past. I remember thinking the whole time that I would benefit more from this movie by closing my eyes and taking a nap. I've never been so upset at a Marvel movie much less Nicholas Cage (for taking this role) and how this movie seemed to get pushed through without anyone screening it to realize its crap. I even bought the Hulk when it came out on DVD just because it was a Marvel movie but this is certainly one that will not go on my shelf. IF ANYTHING, wait until this comes out on DVD. It's not worth the wait or the hype (if there even is hype after opening day).
