Great start...then forgettable real quick!

Rating: 6/10 (16 February 2009)

Starts out with a great premise for a superhero story. A superhero who has damaged his credibility with the public and reluctantly tries to build up some star power by enlisting the help of a public relations manager. However half-way through a plot twist comes your way and if you are paying attention, you see it coming. Then before you know it the film ends rather abruptly. Will Smith is gold as usual. He doesn't play his charming all-American good guy. Think more about Dr. House than Superman.
I wanted more from the film because I like the initial concept. I expected more from a script that was penned by former X-Files writer Vince Gilligan too!
