I just watched it last weekend for the first time. I wasn't disappointed to have waited on it, it looked great on blu ray on the big screen tv, but I was actually impressed that they had such a large cast and told a story that didn't, to me, feel like it drug on trying to get everyone screen time. I don't need to see it over and over again, but I thought it was a good addition to the superhero film lineup. Carl V.

The only comic books I can recall reading as a youngster were the Commando WW2 series, which were more or less realistic war stories. The superhero ones never appealed to me. <br /><br />So I had no historical baggage to colour my opinion as far as superheroes are concerned, I simply judged the film on its merits as a fantasy thriller.<br /> Anthony G Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798830903236765181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331135384154117296.post-74743560304546257772012-10-06T13:30:50.562+01:002012-10-06T13:30:50.562+01:00Respectfully, I disagree.

I mean the ending with the huge fight scene was a bit much, but I loved the characters and the humor. I thought the film was a love letter to people who grew up reading comic books.
