Another example of where the writer/director are out of touch with the audience

Rating: 3/10 (30 June 2017)

Good stand alone movie, but cliché as a stand alone movie. Nothing new here as a stand alone movie. I don't believe the writer/director are in touch with the audience for this kind of movie. Superhero movies are about the characters and the characters don't die, they always come back. Good overcomes evil and that is the basis for superhero movies. This is not a superhero movie but an over dramatized look at the burdens of a superhero. So let's get real, people that like these movies want to see a hero exploit his superpowers for good. The don't want to see a superhero whine over and over about how bad it is to be superstrong. Just watch the first Hulk movie and how bad the review were. So much drama. So in this movie, the director throws in a lot of blood and violence I guess because he believes the audience is going to like it. Not really. Deadpool was fun to watch because of the comedy Ryan Reynolds brings to the scene. This movie was depressing from every angle. Just not a good superhero movie. Sad to see the two lead characters retire their roles in a poof of dust rather than go out blazing. Watch as a rental or on Netflix, but don't waste too much time. DC and Marvel universe have outpaced the wolverine saga, with story lines that are fantastic. This is a waste of time in comparison. Hugh Jackman was a great X-Men, but sadly he has failed in the last two solo movies to deliver the kind of epic superhero movie that could have rocked.
