Understated and very very good. THE summer movie

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2000)

Even if you don't read the comic, go see this movie. Bryan Singer has crafted a movie about *people* not characters. The acting is heartfelt and reverent, the story is engaging, and there is plenty to whet the appetite for what's to come.
A must see! This could be the film that redeems comics after the BATMAN AND ROBIN fiasco.
