Decent movie, but leaves much to be desired

Rating: 6/10 (9 July 2008)

I went to this movie not reading any reviews or write-ups. I enjoyed the first thirty minutes of the movie...I found it to be a good twist on the average superhero movie. Then it threw me for a loop when Mary's identity was revealed. It seemed so cliché, but yet out-of-place. Her explanation about where she came from didn't seem well thought out at all, and destroyed what otherwise would have been a decent film. It almost seemed like the first half and last half of the movie were not written by the same people. Personally, I feel as if they could have done a much better job finishing off the story they had going for them in the beginning.
All-in-all, the first half makes the movie look very promising, while the last half leaves much to be desired.
