Deceiving

Rating: 4/10 (27 August 2008)

The Trailer for this film contained action, cheek, and amazing visual effects. These scenes featured within the first thirty mins of the film.
However i wouldn't say thats a negative, as the film was good from the off, and had some mind blowing stunts. Yet i'm still not raving about it, this is because what i expected to be a new breed of super-hero action series, such as Spiderman or Superman, turned out to be a romantic comedy.
Admitedly the plot had a slight twist, which kept me interested even as the mood changed from bad ass killer to love lorn loser. The comedy was subtle, the plot was original, and the effects were brilliant.
This film tricked me into believing it was a action type with uber-villains, major fight scenes and a typical happy ending. But it wasn't it was a romantic fantasy type. Still i thought, its good, ya know has everything i'd want in a film.
And then it happened, what pushed me over the edge, what made me write this review. The love heart on the MOON!, what is going on there? that is typical American indulgence. i'm sorry but its the type of thing i've expect in a Hugh grant film not a will smith movie! All i can say is that i was fooled, into watching a film that wasn't what i expected.
