Why trash this film?

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2007)

I'm scratching my head at some of the vitriol that is put forth in reviews; both hear and by professional film reviewers. IT'S COMIC BOOK! This is not a film like Spider Man that is good, both on the level that these folks are looking for and from the 'comic book' action level. I went into this film KNOWING it was going to be a bit stupid, but I left my belief at the door, and prepared for some visual/action entertainment. I wasn't disappointed. The writing could have been much better, and I'm not talking about character issues, I'm talking about oddities. Ghost gets stabbed and as Johnny has to be stitched up? OK Later Ghost gets shot, uhmm, a lot, hmm. There are a few others like that and that is just not good writing. Plot:5 Acting:7 Direction:6 F/X:8 Entertainment:8 = 6.8 , call it a 7.
