This film is NOT full of insight into the human condition. This film does NOT contain a fully logical plot line. This film does NOT contain a proper timeline.BUT it IS based on a comic!
I enjoyed what was on the screen enough to take my family, and some friends, to see it twice; more than SM 1 or 2.
This film does contain:
Some great special effects; Some great action sequences; Enough character development to actually get involved and know the characters who are maimed or killed - and care.
I think part of the issue for this, and most comic book films, is that they are a hiding to nothing trying to satisfy the character fan-base.
Equally there are enough weaknesses in this film that I would normally be happily be pulling it to pieces, but the film's positive elements meant that I could skate over them rather than dwelling on them.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, two hours of mindless entertainment - well, what do you expect of a comic!
