Why did I spend my time on this one?

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2004)

Normally I'm not a fan of comic books or the movies that are derived from it, but because this movie got such a high rating on IMDb I watched it anyway. And I'm sorry that I did. I should have known better. This movie really wasn't what I was looking for.
Its story is very predictable and poor. All it has to offer is a fight about freedom between good and evil, saying that people from minority groups are never understood and always feared by others... Yes, you might see some political messages in this movie. I'm sure most Americans love this, because they still believe that their nation is the only good one in the world and that they have to protect the others from the evil ones... All I could think was "Oh, come on, you've got to be kidding me. There has got to be something better after this scene" But there wasn't. The only thing that I liked were the special effects. I have to admit that they were nice to watch, but that wasn't enough for me to like this movie.
No, unless you are an ultra-republican American or a big fan of comic books, you better leave this movie on the shelve. I won't watch it again... I give it a 5/10 (only because of the special effects).
