Review

didn’t watch too much of the show and didn’t see the ang lee version of this comic so i don’t have too much to compare this film to in that regard. however, as far as comic book films go, this one is pretty much in the middle of the pack. not as bad as fantastic four and not as good as ironman. liv tyler is a fox and quite good as a comic book woman, though not as good as gwenyth paltrow. ed norton does a fine, but imperfect, job as the lead. leterrier brings his euro-flash direction, but it’s a little much in this context. it worked for the transporter films and danny the dog, but i thought it was a bit over-the-top here. comics can be over-the-top, but there’s a tongue in cheek element to it and a slower pace that doesn’t match his direction. his direction would work for a film like district b13, but not here.
