I just got tired of watching it after a while. - moviegenius
There are a couple of mildly entertaining action scenes, but I think that Joe Johnston's other film ``Captain America: The First Avenger'' is much better. I just got tired of watching this movie after a while. I don't think that this is a movie worth seeing.A great family movie! - imagination201
As it has action, humor, romance and comic book-like surrealism, there is something for everyone in this movie, and it has aged rather well despite its early CGI effects (unless their blue screen?)
The intrigue is still good, though, and the dream of flying with a rocket is still alive as well :)A Comic adaption sleeper hit - Mykull
This movie is a great adaption of a classic comic hero. Not like the movies now a days that are over the top computer graphic animated.. and all filmed on a green screen. This in turn is a great story of a hero set back in the days. The story line is great, with a nice love story and villian to tie the whole movie into a great classic super hero story. Well worth a rental.
