       With all the hysterically positive reviews on IMDb I was expecting a lot, especially since I usually like super hero films. I’m trying very hard to get into this but it’s not happening. It pretends to be profound and serious but I find it pretentious and boring. Maybe I can fast forward to something interesting.

       Nope.
