OK but doesn't really stand alone

Rating: 6/10 (19 September 2008)

Edward Norton is great - the special effects are amazing. If I'd watched this film aged 10 I would have given it 10/10, but at aged 28 I'm a bit more cynical. The thing that annoyed me the most is the lack of a clear ending. I mean the latest Batman film "Dark Knight" is amazing and although its left open it doesn't feel like the first part of a two parter. This film does.
Maybe I'm being harsh only giving it 6, after all I was annoyed when the film just ended in what I thought was the middle, I could happily have sat and watched another 2 hours of this. Its the film equivalent of junk food, not the best but you can eat loads of it.
Take your kids - they'll love it, but if you were expecting comic book excellence on a par with "Dark Knight" you'll be a little disappointed.
