I know you've been this movie's fiercest defender since day one..but you seem to be really stretching. I read a bunch of the top critic reviews yesterday and they were all the same. Not a single one said it needed to be funnier. I know you want to like it and that's fine but it seems a bit far fetched to point out that you think that these near unanimous reviews panning the film are all based on a lack of Marvel type one liners.

Too much mish mash of story, everything is dark and depressing as if it was filmed with some sort of depressing filter, bad writing, bad villains, nothing but an orgy of special effects etc.
