All the hype does not make up for a bad film

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2004)

I watched this film expecting no more but 2 hours of good Hollywood pop-corn entertainment, but even my low expectations were not met.
The Story is unbelievable, straightforward and sometimes very boring. Parker has its problems, a new enemy is created, a love story evolves and all ends up in an inevitable fight good against evil.
It's so boring, because it's so predictable. You don't just know what is going to happen, you even know *how* it is going to happen.
It's always the same procedure: love story - Fight - Peters Problems - Fight - Peter's Mum - Fight - love story - Final Fight.
Even the special effects are not breathtaking. The actors performances are below average, too.
If you still want to go the cinema, pick a different film.
