Good but really dumb

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2006)

There were just too many dumb inconsistencies in the movie to allow me to sit back and enjoy it for the comic book it was, There was an antidote for the mutant gene but there was a kid with the same powers. At the final cataclysm I kept thinking,and sometimes even yelling at the screen (quietly),"Where's the kid? Use him why don't you." I'm sure he'll surface in the next sequel.) I mean people with such enormous powers were getting zonked with adolescent tricks. The movie on one level certainly resembled, perhaps too closely,the comic book genre that spawned it however the comic books have better script integrity I think. On the other hand I don't recall being bored but wildness isn't a total reward.
