Hmmm. Laughable CG effect (the opening titles for one look like on of my 3DS Max test renders), combined with camera shots that are too close and/or too wobbly. Add to the mix the Gullermo Del Toro style of frenzied cutting and you have a film that quite literally made me motion sick.

The direction was extremely poor, and there are so many incidences of this it's impossible for me to pick out a specific reference.

The script seems to lack coherent plotting or dialogue. Some of the dialogue is so poor that it defies belief. The only consistency is the fact that it's totally inconsistent. I've seen more holes in swiss cheese: the plot is so bad.

The heavy metal sound track and the obvious product placements either detract or just simply annoy.

Also, the comic book characters were human, with all the skills and weaknesses that go with it. In the film, they're practically superhuman.

This is a bad film and i'm not holding my breath for the inevitable sequel.
