A comic book adaptation that in the middle of the craze flops phenomenally

Rating: 4/10 (19 November 2010)

Practically everything about this film was a waste of time. The whole thing just felt so dingy- but not in a good way, in a way that made it boring. I kept thinking- come on! Get a move on! I normally quite like Nicolas Cage, but he really does disappoint in this. He is miscast, you just can't help but see Nicolas Cage and not the character. The plot is so stupid, and stupidly slow. To top it all off there are so many clichés and the bits that seem original are just silly, which all adds up to one pointless film capitalising on the success of other comic book adaptations. Watch Hellboy or Constantine instead. Boys of about 9-13 might enjoy it.
