Personally, I liked Mystery Men better. There's not really that much action here, and the pacing of the movie is slllooowww. Dialogue is kinda goofily-fun, but the use of profanity (which, generally, I have nothing against) I think was too excessive for this genre of film, to the point where it detracted from the movie. In fact, it almost gave it a "dark comedy" feel which I don't think works for a superhero movie. I think moreover, that there were just too many unsympathetic characters in this film, especially the adulterous Ms. Indestructible (I REALLY did not like her). I couldn't find myself feeling for one character, or disliking another above all others.
From a visual standpoint, this was a well-done movie. The costumes and visual effects were very nice -- lots that jumped out at you.
Still, this could not make up for the fact that, to me, this movie just wasn't that funny. Nice try, but nothing "special."
My Grade: C-/D+ (See Mystery Men instead)
