I found myself looking at my watch at the 20 minute mark I was so bored.

I felt like I was watching a kids adventure movie like Spy Kids. By all means make a superhero movie that's tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at the genre (see Deadpool for how to do this correctly), but this was a complete farce from beginning to end.

Young Billy and old Billy were nothing alike; the costumes, cgi and some of the sets looked tacky; the story was generic and dull with no real character development, especially with Mark Strong's character; and for a comedy I only laughed 3 or 4 times!

There seemed to be no effort made to make the relationships between the kids believable. I certainly don't understand how Billy suddenly felt this all powerful bond with the other kids at the end.

Overall I came out of the cinema feeling very disappointed.
