Negative Positive
Title: Lots of eyecandy. Shallow storyline.
Review: The movie had lots of pretty visuals. And that's about it. A five-year old child could write a more imaginative scenario & dialogues. Spoiler: The line "give me an American cheeseburger" by Stark upon his return from captivity in Afghanistan, after which he is shown eating Burger King, seemed really cheap to me. It demonstrates what the movie is all about. If you are oblivious to propaganda and advertising, then you may enjoy this movie. Just my $0.02.PS: I did read the comic book as a kid and was a fan, whis is why I was disappointed with the cheap pseudo-patriotic "American cheeseburger" lines, the cliche Afghan terrorist stereotypes, and the rest of the shallow plot. The comic book used to be much more cult and intelligent than that...
