I went to this movie anticipating an epic, once in a lifetime movie. Expecting an X-Men, Dark Knight, Spiderman, or Iron Man kind of movie. In that respect, I found myself disappointed. Still the movie was well made, the special effects were great, the fight scenes were interesting, though a bit more few and far between then I expect from a comic book adaptation. Further, despite being a "superhero" movie, only one person had legit superhuman abilities. The rest are more... Batman-esque. So, if you want some great superpowers... watch Heroes on Mondays and save $8-10.
A couple notes without giving away too much of the plot... I know it's only been out for 2 or 3 days so I don't want to give away too much, but, here are some things I think people need to know before they go and see it.
1) If you have a problem with gore, realistic or otherwise, consider not seeing this movie.
2) If violence or brutality isn't your thing, maybe you consider avoiding it. We're talking realistic brutality, bones breaking, body crushing brutality.
3) If human sexuality, real or digitally created, is a sore spot with you... avoid the movie. To not have the sensors flip out, I'll say only that there is quite a few shots of glowing man junk and a few candid... er... Intercourse scenes... Not a lot, but enough that me and my friends remarked "good movie, too much glowing man junk".
4) The movie is THREE HOURS LONG... Well 2:45... Very, very long. Clear your schedule, don't make any plans, bring a cushion if you can. If you bring your own drink... bring two... Maybe three. Can't be too safe.
I'd say a solid 7.5/10. Not spectacular but... good.
