Superhero sleeping on a bench... sounds painfully familiar!

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2008)

The initial premise was very captivating and I felt that they could have done a lot more with it. A lot of the humor was rather generic and could have used some help. But what I found most disappointing was the way in which movie devolved into some kind of attempt at epic and biblical themes of angles, love, and our purpose in life; more than anything because unfortunately, this, too, was very generic in it's scripting and execution. I would have much rather preferred that the movie continue to play to our fascination and inspiration towards superheros, while playing off the interesting contrast that the misfit and antisocial behavior of the protagonist offered. Even movies with the generic angel / biblical mold such as Constantine and that Christopher Walken movie have been more exciting, with superhuman characters clashing for supremacy.
The public relations bit was cool; the love triangle was not.
