Question Mark

<font color = lightgreen>I agree--definitely better than Daredevil, the Hulk, and Electra (I notice that one doesn't even get a mention here [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] ).

True, the plot is a little slow during the first third of the movie but I always enjoy seeing a character come to grips with their powers--did we all enjoy that one scene in Spiderman? [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img]

Of course, each character's powers and personality tie together. That being said, I did find Ms. Alba's performance to be..well...invisible. Oh, well.

The guy playing the Torch did a really good job. His character is genuinely likeable and charismatic, just like the comic book Torch.

Although they did give the Torch some of the best lines in the movie ("where are your ears?" [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] ), Chiklis' Thing and MchMahon's von Doom stole the show...as I knew they would. Both are very well-accomplished actors from the small screen.

All in all...a must-see. In fact, so far I rate it as a better summer blockbuster than Revenge of the Sith. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Now we just need to wait a little longer and see how Legend of Zorro fares....</font>
