As is the case with most superhero movies, reviews are largely mixed, ranging from the claim that we've reached
superhero saturation point to calling it «awfully good» and «refreshing.»
But even if the screenplay — credited to Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill and Jon Spaihts — is just a touch too familiar, it seems hardly fair to penalize a film so visually inventive, witty and filled with magnificent spectacle, just because it has come around at a
saturation point in the
superhero cinema industry.
