Another great comic book turns into another mediocre movie

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 2004)

Hollywood has obviously ran out of fresh ideas and so have turned to the comic world for the next big hit. Hopefully they'll soon realize that this is going to get old and move on but, for the time being, I'll keep going to these movies and hoping for a good one among all the crap.
Unfortunately, this wasn't it. Though the movie wasn't too bad, it wasn't the best I've seen. The story deviated, the love story was pushed but not believable, the characters shallow, disallowing for emotional attachment. The only salvageable thing here is the OK special effects (even these are at times pushed). This ended with a setup for a sequel. Let's hope that they manage to get together some decent writers to provide them with better material for the next one.
5/10
