A well made and entertaining blockbuster

Rating: 7/10 (17 October 2012)

Superheroes are not prime film material: I would probably never include a superhero film among my favorite 100 films, maybe Watchmen, but that's not really a "superhero film" but instead a deconstruction of the genre. Anyway, some are highly entertaining, such as Spider Man 2 and Batman: The Dark Knight, but nothing that really send chills down my spine, induces into goosebumps or makes my eyes wet.
It has some very cool, awesome moments, but it is not like The Matrix awesome: Its mediocre/okay awesome. It is a highly overrated film here in the IMDb, it is surely not top 250 material in any way, shape of form. I was disappointed when I saw the film, because it had a 8.7 score on IMDb at the time. Obviously, the product of nerdgasmic reaction to an accurate depiction of the characters in the comics. Anyway, I don't read superhero comics, so...
