...and I was thinking broadly the same thing. If you're 12 years old, if you have an IQ of 80, or if you otherwise still read comic books, then I guess you may derive some buzz from the glamorised violence, the hot chicks, the flawless special effects, or the rocking soundtrack. If, on the other hand, you would prefer something with a little more depth to it, something that fully exploited the acting talents of the (very fine) cast, something with genuine character development in which you might become emotionally invested, then keep looking. Overall, a waste of absolutely world-class talent, but I guess everybody needs to get paid. Having myself wasted £4 at Blockbuster, I now need to watch "Shakespeare in Love" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring" back-to-back just to cleanse myself. Grrrrr!
