A very good superhero movie

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2000)

Movies and TV shows based around superheros or comics have a tendency to be, well, for lack of a better phrase, bad! Not this time. Certainly, the quality of special effects helped a lot, and it had the obligatory beautiful women, and black clothes, but those happen to be part of the formula for a good action movie, so who cares! Also, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen added some weight and gravitas to balance out the young actors. The plot and acting were not exceptional but were certainly good enough. If you like action movies with good special effects and cool characters, this is certainly worth watching.
