You either love it or hate it

Rating: 4/10 (27 December 2010)

Im going to keep it short and get straight to the point. This movie is not for everyone, the younger crowd of teenagers will probably enjoy this film for all the flashy animated scenes and references a lot more as apposed to a 40 year old, who wont completely understand the comic book style setting, and think of it as childish. In the same breath this movie cannot be mistaken for an animated style children's movie. There are some openly gay sexually related references that don't seem to fit into the over all bigger picture at all. The movie jumps around quite a bit not really knowing what age group its trying to target. Often i'd find myself thinking i'm watching a movie that would appeal only to a 14 year old girl, and at other times i would feel like the movie just isn't appropriate for the younger crowd at all. The film doesn't seem to have much of a lasting appeal and no message that its trying to convey. The whole movie is built up on many quirky one liners and the characters don't really seem to fit there role. I've never seen so many woman chase after a bunch of nerds in the fashion that this movie portrays. It almost feels like they were the ones who wrote the script, and if you're not a comic book fanatic, you might not enjoy this movie as much as what you would have hoped. the only good aspect of this movie would be pretty, flashy camera work. Other than that this movie is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who made it through high school. The movie just tries too hard to be "cool". If you're looking for a good story, lasting appeal and clever script, give this one a miss.
