Wonderful film!

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 1999)

What a treat this film is! For those baby boomers who grew up on B&W 1950s Sci-Fi flicks and who spent their days with comic books folded up and stuck in their back jeans pockets, this is a must-see film. Long-time comic book fans, especially, will be thrilled by some of the images and story points. And oh yeah -- kids will love it too!
It's a good-hearted, honest, witty, well-written, well-directed, beautifully drawn film that works for all ages. What more could you want?

I understand it is NOT doing great box office business, and that is a crying shame -- as it is clearly one of the best films of the year, and those who ARE seeing it are loving it. I can only hope it will become such a hit on video (and in non-US markets) that it will make up for its undeserved poor box office performance here.
