Boring movie about nothing

Rating: 6/10 (4 February 2010)

You've seen it before: a quirky movie that tries (and often succeeds) to be different, funny in an unexpected way, using the power of an interesting plot and even more a cast of sacred movie monsters. I mean how could a movie starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey be bad?
Well, it was. A movie about superheroes that have no powers but think they do, with a few weird and unexplained phenomena to keep the viewer watching, just like making the least amount of effort to make the film interesting and believable. And that would have been OK, only what they did with their beliefs was not spectacular; place the action in someone's living room and the movie would have been fractionally more boring at almost no cost.
Bottom line: great actors play crazy people that do nothing all movie. I got sleepy repeatedly and only watched it hoping that something would explain why I was watching the film in the first place. Nothing did.
