Great escapist film

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2001)

This film is not for those seeking serious drama or adventure; however, I do think that this movie is a great escape from the mundane. Who wants reality? Thank you, I get my fill every day. Brendan Fraser shines in this role with enough of his usual goofiness to keep the film from bogging down and yet he makes the role his own with just the exact right touch of comic book hero. The one liners are great fun; but, you have to listen carefully or they will whip right past you.
And if you are into the special effects.... Oh my gosh!
Bottom line.... This is one of my favorite films just because it is fun!
