It Is What It Is: A Movie Based On A Comic Book

Rating: 2/10 (30 July 2015)

Since every other film is based on a comic book, there are no longer many choices at the theater. This one is at least somewhat interesting at times. Its convoluted story and scatter-shot plot do engage the mind and keeps it occupied while the special effects and imagery tantalize the senses. However, it is another comic book movie and as such, it honors the source well. It is on that level it entertains. Hardly challenging or intellectually stimulating or emotionally moving. It offers none of the important elements that make for great cinema and avoids such things most vigorously. It looks great, sounds great, and makes sense at times. That's all it takes to fill a theater.
