Genesis

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2000)

A vibrant action comic book translation with a eye to future sequels.It unfortunately travels the easy "genesis" path of why and how the heroes originate. Its about time that film makers realised that most of their audience knows the why's and wherefores. They could then concentrate on producing a movie with a strong independent storyline involving the characters.
A film about the Vietnam War does not need an explanation of the political and economic factors creating the war. Westerns stand alone without the aid of definitions of "Cowboy and Indian" culture.
Get a story- then put the heroes in it not the other way round.
