Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2010)

VERY MILD spoiler
While the film's hyper-kinetic action scenes and overall storytelling will irritate the unconverted, those in the right mood will have a lot of fun, even if you are wishing for more character development.
The cast is a riot and really tie the film up, particularly Brandon Routh (I'm sorry, SUPERMAN), who seems to be better at dead pan than the film's lead, Michael Cera.
The fight scenes are just so damn outlandish that you can't help but laugh out loud, and along the way, gives you some really nice eye candy. That's the reason why you get Bill Pope for the Director of Photography. The Matrix, baby!
The movie isn't quite as heartfelt as some of Cera's other Rom Com's, but when the film has time for it, there is some genuine sweetness and the ending ties up the adaptation nicely (please pay to see this, so we'll get a sequel!) Now I just have to start reading the comics.
