This is a new take on the superhero genre, and one not for kids. It is rated R for everything in the book. It's an interesting movie and keeps your interest throughout. It is however too long at 3 hours, but the length is somewhat necessary with all the different story lines that tie together, still some probably could've been cut out. For being a superhero movie there really isn't a lot of action, it's more of a mystery and you're watching it all unravel. It is pretty cool how they show a different version of the 50's-80's, where superheroes where the norm. Some of the acting is a little questionable but overall it's well done. I probably would've been fine not seeing this movie, but it's entertaining. It's overly graphic in pretty much every way.

So you liked it, but you can't like it. Is that what I hear you saying?
No, it was just plain average. Yes I liked some things about it; the idea of superheroes being common place and how that affected history, the dark take on superheroes. But it's too long, too slow, and a little too boring for my tastes.
