A more appropriate title

Two words: THE IMITATRIX
(Gosh, what a shame that IMDb doesn't allow a user to dismiss with a pithy two-word comment a quite mundane and by now quite hackneyed display of special effects enlivened solely by the magnificent, if wasted, presence of Miss Jolie. Instead, it requires that I go on blabbing about a movie that really doesn't deserve the effort it takes to type this out, solely because "the minimum length for comments is 10 lines of text." Well, in order for this not to be classified as padding the comment "with junk words" and "being blocked from future submissions", I guess I'd better mention that the film managed to leave out the only remotely interesting aspect of the comic-book mini-series upon which it was based, the fact that the gang of assassins into which out hero is dragged is a satiric comment on the super-villains faced by Superman and Batman in the DC Universe, substituting them with sometimes obscene or scatological versions. "Clayface", for example, becomes "S**thead". You get the idea. Fan-boy fun, sure to please the fan-boys...the ones who probably hated the movie, I'd imagine.)
There. Have I said enough now? Sigh...
