seven years later, it still haunts me.

Rating: 2/10 (17 January 2008)

It is seven years (ish) since I saw this film. This could mean my comment below is based on inaccurate memories- or that my experience so affected me that I feel the need to write a review at 1.44am 7 years later- upon reading some of the other comments extolling this films virtues. I'll leave you to decide.
I saw this film at the cinema, and walked out. It, to this day, is the only film I have ever paid to see and decided to put my time to better use. It's truly awful on nearly every level. I remember a scene with Bruce Willis lifting weights- one after the other, in an almost comical depiction of his strength- except I got the distinct impression it was supposed to be serious.
If you're the kind of person that really likes comics, and wants to see a film which develops elements of comic book culture which are ever so slightly embarrassing to admit to having any affinity with, you'd maybe find this film watchable. However, I'd recommend you don't watch it in the interests of avoiding further exposure to culturally isolating rubbish.
The reason I'm writing this comment is because, I was shocked to see this film had such a high average rating. No other film has managed to get me out of my seat and out of the cinema. In fact, no other film has ever managed to anger me so much with its ability to suck weak minded people in with sudo-intellectual nothingness, and mythological moral fortitude.
My advice, stay away from this nonsense- or be angered by good reviews for the rest of your life!
