My reaction
Synopsis: an ordinary high school kid decides to become a super hero
How I saw it: in the theater, yesterday
Concept: Good. Unfortunately, it ends up missing its own point. "What if people in real life tried to be super heros?" is a nice idea to explore, but this movie is so cartoonish and completely unbelievable - about the level of realism of Iron Man - it ends up just being a typical mass-produced super hero movie.
Story: Bad. For having an original concept, it's remarkable how cliched and predictable it is. And plot holes abound.
Characters: Indifferent. Hit Girl and Big Daddy and nice, but everyone else is crap.
Dialog: Bad.
Pacing: Good. Some of the fights get pretty tedious.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Bad.
Acting: Indifferent.
Music: Good.
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good). It's a very, very flawed movie. But it's fun anyway.
Objective Rating: 2.1/4 (Okay).
