Great fun, but a little old and predictable

Rating: 7/10 (15 October 2010)

First up, I have to say that when I entered the theatre I thought I had just walked in a retirement home. Sorry grandpa. However, perfect setting for the movie I guess. Anyway, the action starts slow in this one and sort of keeps the same pace through out. There are great moments here and there. It was certainly fun to watch and hear the fifty and sixty years old couples in front of me clapping and laughing. For the action part, I give it a 5 giving today's action standard. The story line kind of vague, and giving this is a DC Comics adaptation, I find it surprisingly boring. However, Bruce, Morgan, John and Helen, wow, what can I say. Put them together, it is like an acting university with every genre you can imagine. Individually, they are unbelievable. All together, no matter how bad the other actors are and how weird certain moments are, they simply make you feel great and nod and smile and laugh and whatever you feel like doing. I will happily surrender my $12.50 again to watch them in action. Also surprisingly good is the funny and wacky Marie Lou Parker and of course Brian Cox. I want to say that the acting is at least an 8. But that will be unfair. Because for these guys and ladies, they don't need to act. So there you have it. It is a fun movie. I probably will bring my dad to watch again. Better yet, let my dad take my mom to watch it.
