Rent It (spoiler light till the end)

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2008)

This is an OK movie. i will judge it on several things: it starts with 5 stars and goes from there.
1st actor: Nicholas cage...-1 star
2nd-costume: awesome!! + 1 stars
3rd special effects: terrific! + 1 star transitions and cgi look amazing
4th: origin: great + 1/2 star (not true to the comics)
5th plot: could use some work. still watchable and entertaining the 1st time. twist is surprising. kind of. + 1/2 star
6th villains: elements??? seriously people.... only good part is mephisto and his son. +/- 0
7th ending: extremely, good, only slightly predictable + 1/2
8th dialog: horrible -1
9th other: extremely cheesy, slightly predictable and horrible lines. very entertaining, and action movie, lame series of 'bosses'. seriously..its called teamwork. he had a friggin headache every time? that annoyed me, and the fact that he cant stop the trail of flame...
10th: my opinion: i liked it so +1
they completely destroyed how the romance was supposed to go, but it was still OK the best acting came from Johnny's friend who dies)
they ask you to use your imagination, which is fine, so people don't need to complain. -1.5
overall: 6 an average movie, not great but if your a fan of the character or you like action movies with easy to follow plot and not so complicated dialog. then rent it. don't but it unless you love it or are a collector, and don't gift it unless you are SURE that the intended recipient loves it or is a comic book movie collector.
to rephrase what i just said:
still its great movie if your in for that kind of thing. everyone bashes it ad says its worse than captain America. i know someone who thinks its the best movie ever. i also know 2 geeks who put it on par with the Mario movie. i think its better than that, but its no shaw shank redemption
