8.3/10 ? What's wrong people?

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2008)

Hi, I am really confused that this movie is receiving such a good feedback. The problem is that I cannot think of any single "major" superhero movie that wasn't better than this. I even think Robocop easily beats this.
What's wrong with this movie? The whole script needs work. The little story there is isn't one bit credible. The guy is kept captive in Afghanistan and he is asked to build a missile. The terrorists are watching him closely, but you know what? Our genius hero manages to fool them; he is not building a missile, he is building the bloody armor that will allow him to escape! And the terrorists who are so eager for their plan to work just let it happen! What kind of terrorists are they?!
I am sorry, I don't buy this.
This is what the movie builds itself upon and I assure you it doesn't make any more sense as it moves on.
There isn't the drama that makes other superhero movies so interesting and touching to watch.
This is an overall empty movie. The guy is no hero. He destroyed his own weapons and killed the thing that was trying to kill him and the woman he loves.
It is a very superficial movie.
If you are no teenager or fan of the comics, don't be in a hurry to see this.
May be people like this because of the setting in Afghanistan, but sorry, this isn't about news or war, it is just a movie that doesn't deserve such praise.
