Review of Defendor

Defendor (2009)
4/10
I think I missed it...
5 September 2010
I think I may have missed the greatness of this movie. A lot of other people seem to think it was funny and touching and this other stuff.

I thought the acting was average at best. Woody does play a "special" kind of super hero, but aiming to copy Christian Bale's over-exaggerated deep creepy voice? Really? Although, it did make me wanna dig up my sling-shot and chase people around.

The comedy part of this movie escaped me as well. Maybe it's because the face of comedy has changed over the last 20 years, but myself, roommate and girlfriend failed to even giggle. Are we laughing at Woody's lack of normalcy or unique perspective? Is if funny to be a hooker? Is it funny to repeat a tag line all movie during serious scenes? The mass release of self proclaimed super hero movies is not impressing me. This movie fell way short.
