Go see it if you like impressive visuals and tong-in-cheek humor, avoid if you're looking for the next "Dark Knight"

Rating: 7/10 (5 September 2008)

This movie is a good load of fun, nothing more, nothing less. Don't expect a very complex story ("villain looks for super weapon"), an impressive amount of character building ("true love conquers all") or triple A class acting. Instead expect a plethora of stunning visuals accompanied by a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humor. This is in every sense of the word an effects movie, with loads and loads and loads of CGI. However, unlike in many similar films, the effects are used very effectively and creatively, to bring a bizarre and yet attractive fantasy world to life and inhabit it with creatures that are equally bizarre and yet attractive. Go see it for a good 120 minutes of pretty pictures and a couple of good laughs. If you want serious drama and genuine emotion however, you've obviously walked into the wrong theater.
Oh, and am I the only one in here who thought that Krauss was pretty cool for a mere background character in a superhero movie?
