I think the more time I’ve had to digest it, the less I like it. Partly, perhaps, because there seems to be so little to digest.
Needless and lumbering ring very true. It doesn’t manage to really say anything with any heart. It treats interesting issues and commentary with the brush stroke of an elephant at the zoo. It’s almost purposely made to be something very specific, without understanding the heart or the brains behind the things it’s imitating.
It’s a comic book movie through and through, without the pure escapist joy that actually makes comic book movies worth watching.
