A family friendly summer blockbuster

Rating: 6/10 (10 May 2012)

This would be a good movie to take the family to for a movie night, it has everything you would expect from a big summer blockbuster - lots of eye candy with fancy special effects, a simple and understandable straight forward plot, the good guys and bad guys are well defined and in stark black and white so its easy to know who to root for and against.
The best part of the movie is the humor, it has a tongue in cheek type style and there are some good laughs in the movie. Its definitely a light-hearted movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.
It loses some points for basically being too oriented for a kids audience, it was not really my kind of movie because its almost like a Disney theme park ride, and simple minded in a sense. It's over-rated for sure at IMDb, but not surprising, many of the comic book movies are over-rated at this site because of their wide spread popular appeal.
