A genre film in disguise

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2001)

This is, in my opinion, the best comicbook-based movie ever... it was completely true to the medium, while at the same time being original, exciting, intriguing etc. More importantly, it was so well disguised (in the trailers etc.) that no one really knows what it is about until the film itself starts.
There are soooooooo many wonderful comic references in it, but it is the rare film that works wonderfully both for fans of the genre and everyone else.
Plus, of course, the surprise ending makes it all the more amazing as a work of cinematic artistry. As long as M. Night Shyamalan keeps making movies that end with Bruce Willis realizing something he should have realized far earlier, Make Mine Marvel! (pseudo-inside joke)
