I want my money back

Rating: 3/10 (15 March 2009)

Sat through this self-indulgent mess hoping there would be a payoff, but we got something akin to Vendetta where killing thousands of innocents is OK as long as the guy with the suicide bomb/airplane/exploding train/cosmic death ray has a higher purpose in mind. This is really scary: this gets by as enlightened discourse when it is really Nazi-style propaganda aimed at crushing dissent.
Cinematography and special effects were great. Story line was fat and lazy, especially when trying to weave together the simple-minded, misguided, childish political points. Owl guy was unconvincing in and out of suit. Story seemed ambiguous as to whether or not these superheroes really had any special skills or traits, which is very odd considering the genre. Would have been a lot less offensive if this wasn't so long. I guess when you have to put every idle thought that ever entered your mind into the movie, it can drag out a bit.
It seems like there's some job openings if there's an unemployed editor out there.
