I wasn't expecting much from this - I had heard of it, and was curious, but was expecting a pretty bog standard superhero movie. It was fairly average, but on the higher end - certainly entertaining enough for a couple of hours.
There's not really a lot of plot - some people attempt a space mission, fail, get special powers, then spend the rest of the film dealing with them. Even the baddie doesn't really kick into action until the last 30 minutes - and there's no way you couldn't have known it was coming.
What keeps you entertained is the banter between the heroes, and the way they deal with their powers. Without their powers the film would be dull (the character building just doesn't work until they have their powers), but with them there is enough for the script to play with to keep you entertained. No Batman: The Dark Knight or Spiderman rival, but better than many.
Rating: 3 out of 5
