Top comic book adaptation

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2002)

This is a brilliant adaptation of a comic book character, capturing both the fantasy action elements, and the wit and humanity. I thought the third act dialogue sounded a tiny bit cliched, but overall the concept was brilliant. I think congratulations should go not only to the director and main cast, but the supporting players as well - particularly the guy who plays the newspaper editor. He did a "stereotypical" comic book humorously hard-nosed boss to perfection (something I thought modern Hollywood couldn't do anymore!)
Great movie; a very worthy summer blockbuster (and how often do you hear someone say that?)
