Too long, too slow, too repetitive

Rating: 5/10 (19 November 2004)

With the great reviews this movie has received, my wife and I went and saw it even though superhero movie are not my favorite genre. I liked most of the humor, and the animation (or whatever technical process was involved) was very good. However, I found myself nearly falling asleep at times, and felt the movie just wasn't very engrossing overall. The scene with the flying disc vehicles in particular seemed to drag on forever, and the whole "high tech marvel that learns from what it experiences" wasn't exactly real creative. Perhaps my disappointment with the movie is simply because I'm not big on superhero movies, or maybe the movie is simply intended for kids.
It's just not a movie I'd watch again, even if it were on TV for free.
