Marvel movies bore the crap out of me. I watch them with the kids but half of the time I'm falling asleep.
This movie is a really nice take on the super hero movie. I assume that the general low score is given by the Marvel audience. There are some flaws in the movie, but overall it's a really good movie that might have been better served in a tv series. In short, if you're not a real fan of the Marvel crap then give this one a chance... you might be pleasantly surprised.
Not great art but a solidly good 90 minutes. Well acted. Made me smile. Made me sad. Created a sense of jeopardy. Well made plot. Perhaps formula is not all bad when done well
Any time a flick had a female lead & ridiculously low ratings, chances are I'll enjoy it. Fanboys with nothing better to do than review-bomb movies have given me a whole new rating system!
This is an interesting take on the superhero genre. It's a smaller, more personal story, as opposed to the same old storyline we see recycled in every giant blockbuster blowout. I recommend this to anyone who's rolled their eyes at the arrogant, dillhole, womanizer superhero we see over & over on screen. This is entirely different. Refreshing.

Quite enjoyed it but could have been better. Solid performances form most of the cast. Sort of a lower budget German version of Heroes or similar shows.
This movie is not really good nor really bad. It marinades in its own mediocrity. The story is just a run of the mill superhero tale and the pace is quite off with a lot of filler and could have been for a 1h pilot to a much stronger show. The acting is also very stilted and soapy. The character introductions are so rudimentary you can't even relate to any of them. You can also feel the low budget, since a lot of the effects that could have looked great are happening off screen. And the majority of effects on screen look very poor. The icing on top is the as it seems to be permanently drunken camera operator.
Even in the calmest scenes he is shaking like Jell-O on a roller coaster, quite a pain to watch since there wasn't a real reason to go full on steady cam besides the rare action sequences.
