My brief review of the film

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2005)

In a time when superheroes are the big thing, an animated film like this was sure to gain popularity, and it did. The film is full of action, with many superbly crafted explosive sequences, but yet the film is tame enough to be entertaining viewing for the whole family. However, that is all that the film basically is: amusing action sequences combined with some excellent animation. The characters are never more than run-of-the-mill stereotypes, with the screenplay never rising really above the ordinary, except for a full good jokes. Still, it is all quite watchable, and some of the non-action sequences, such as the driving on roads and newspaper footage, had me very impressed. It is a visual marvel - and the Oscar winning sound effects are good too. But is it anything more? Well, I guess that is up to the individual to decide.
