Do we HAVE TO like superhero movies?

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2008)

This must be the most overrated movie in recent years. It seems to me that most viewers and critics are afraid to be negative commenting this movie. In almost all cases, I can agree with the IMDb score. I believe this movie does not deserve more than 5, at most! IMDb does not give extra points for special effects, does it? I understand that the plot follows a story in a comic book. Well, this does not make the story any better. There is nothing new in this movie; it is all cliché to the second power. The movie is not realistic at all. Some may say it does not have to be realistic well, it should at least follow the laws of physics, should it not? The movie is well made for sure from the outside. The story is unfortunately very weak and not interesting. At couple of occasions, it tries to be funny, but it becomes pathetic instead. Oh, did I mention that the movie is too long and very slow? There are at least 40 minutes of the film that could be cut off from the movie with no harm to the story.
With this huge budget, some very good movies could be made.
