Not as good as the ratings suggests

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2013)

Surprised to find the movie rated so highly, despite the fact that the story development seemed weak. The characters felt hollow. The depth of story ,emotions were sacrificed for the cheap thrill of the looooooong climax fight scene. The final 30 minutes were similar to many other movies from last few years with two major themes 1. Destruction of the NY city. (and it lacks any awesomeness of any kind in this movie) 2. Creation of a equal and opposite force same as the hero. And again another looooong unenjoyable tussle between them.
The movie felt like a mis-mash of multiple other movies like Gi-Joe,Avengers, Spiderman.. with few scenes and pattern lifted straight out of the aforementioned movies. The lack of effort from director and writers to make this something different and something really great is surprising.
Having said that, movie is a superhero movie and can be a good one time watch if you go in with no expectations.
