very enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2014)

This was not the movie i went out to see yesterday. I was more in the mood to watch < Porco Rosso > in a small cinema. But because my friend messed up the dates, we ended up seeing this film.
I did not expect much, because those hero movies are not my type much; but was positively surprised.
While the story is quite forgettable or stereotypical, the characters were likable. The movie was well paced and i cannot say that i did not enjoy it.
It is a typical popcorn movie where you can turn off your braincells...at least when you are not into the comic stuff, i guess - because my friend and various other people in the cinema seemed to see a lot more in the characters than i did.
However from the point of view of someone who usually avoids action movies and hero movies - it is a good 7/10.
