First movie based on a comic book hero that has captured the cheapness and shallowness of the comics.

Rating: 6/10 (22 May 2002)

This is the first movie made from a comic book that that has captured the cheapness and shallowness of comics. For the most part I found the movie boring and shallow and trite. It looked and sounded cheap, like the comics. Amazing that a movie that was so cheaply made (i.e. special effects) could be drawing so many crowds. Must be due to a lack of good summer films. Excellent main characters, good acting talent wasted on comic one dimensional roles. The thrill, flash, and glee in the comic book was left out of the movie. Too bad...
