Nihilistic, misogynistic, sadistic and more tics

Rating: 1/10 (14 March 2009)

Saved from getting a zero by the unintentionally funny giant blue man.
How this got the go-ahead, I'll never know, especially post-9/11. Screenplay adapted by a basement-dweller who doesn't get along well with children, women and anti-war protesters. Scenes which make light of superhero rapists (he's the Comedian! He didn't mean it! And she didn't mean it when she said 'no' the first twelve times! And then he shoots a Vietnamese woman just before she gives birth to his child! Hilarity ensues!). Even the choreographed gore of the prison riot is boring. Might have been better with 30 minutes cut out; couldn't be worse.
More proof it's written by an insecure male? What woman would say no to blue electric twin genius buff demigods who can make themselves any size? Now, *that's* an R-movie!
Avoid 'Watchmen'. Want tormented superheros? Go rent 'X-Men' or 'Man Facing SouthEast' instead. Hugh Jackman and 'Wolverine', we need you!
