Keep Waiting for the Good Part

Rating: 4/10 (20 September 2012)

I rented the bluray edition of this movie which meant that I had to sit through over three hours of a plot that kept jumping from present to past and from boring character to boring character. For a non-comic-book-reader like myself, I could have used more character background--I was totally lost, and as a result, uninterested. I kept waiting for the good part to happen because the previews were great. I thought I was getting to that good part (about two hours into the movie), but it was short lived. How is it that you cast someone as gorgeous as Carla Gugino but you put her in old person's makeup for most of the movie? I don't know how anybody could give this movie a 9/10 or a 10/10 rating. I reserve those ratings for movies like Million Dollar Baby or Schindler's list. This movie was nowhere near the level of other comic book films like Spiderman, Batman, or even the original Superman.
