I have mixed feelings about this one. Ok, so by now you probably know I'm not a big fan of superhero movies, and especially American superhero films. I must admit, this one had a lot more depth and Tom Hardy was really good as the protagonist. He goes through an unfortunate break-up due to circumstances, and then attempts to rekindle his relationship, but to no avail. So I really rooted for and felt sorry for the guy. I suppose one could refer to him as a loser. And this plays a pivotal role later in the film, so the setup was very well done.

The make-up and visuals are incredible, but unfortunately the film becomes so CGI-heavy that all the depth is blown right out the window. It becomes nothing more than a typical Hollywood CGI superhero fare that doesn't feel fresh and new. Instead, it feels like a rehash of a plot we've seen so many times before, with a predictable ending. The film also felt a lot like a more extreme version of 'Upgrade' starring Logan Marshall-Green.

Although it was by now means a bad film, it wasn't that great or special either, and chances of me giving it a second viewing is very slim.
