Excellent musical soundtrack in an otherwise mediocre movie.

Rating: 6/10 (11 March 2009)

For a movie to be effective as entertainment, it has to tell a coherent story. This movie does not do that. Instead the story is a convoluted series of disconnected scenes. Also, the use of an alternative future does not work. It is too contrived. The superheroes are back, but so what? The acting was good, especially that of Stephen McHattie who is the star of the movie. The actor who plays the Comedian also gives an excellent performance. But the entire production seems to be little more than an animated comic book, which is not surprising since the movie is based on comic book characters. However, this movie offers one excellent feature: the music. The musical soundtrack includes "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkle. Because of the musical soundtrack the movie, if not great, is at least watchable.
