I won't belabor this: this 2009 film is the most disappointing comic book adaptation I can recall. And that's coming from truly excellent source material. The acting was fair for the most part with some being terrible. They managed to waste some real talent here, I don't know what happened.

Not recommended. Actively avoid this movie.

A lot of people lose the spirit of childhood. Every child has a lot of imagination and you lose it little by little. I don't know why, but I kept it.
