The productions values were good. The acting was good enough. The film got off to a promising start. I had quite a few laughs, as it is quite funny. But, it just wore me down. After about 45 minutes I did not care about these cardboard cutout characters, with no emotional depth, background, or substance. I admit, I am not a comic book enthusiast, and therein lies the problem. Movies like this one are hard for discerning adults to sit through. The writing was pretty mediocre, at best. Comical at worst. I wanted so badly to walk out, but I went with a friend who wanted to stay, and he regretted that move also. So, see it if you love comic book characters. If you don't, avoid this bloated behemoth.
