I totally agree b_b! That movie was made for pre-adolescent boys.

We saw it last night. Last night, I thought it was ok. But today when someone asked me what I thought of it, I realized how truly disappointed I was. It should have been titled 'Destroyer of Steel' and starred someone not called Superman. I think that he and the Kryptonites together destroyed more steel structures in that film than were destroyed in all the Transformers movies combined. I have so much to say that I can't even figure out how to get started.

All I'm going to add is that 'Now You See Me' is a better expenditure of your hard-earned cash. It was Flashy! Suspenseful! With a dash of humor, and a twist of drama. The characters had depth, and the plot was consistent. Not particularly cerebral, but definitely targeting a discerning audience.

Yeah, wtf? The whole last thirty minutes was just inexplicably destroying Metropolis. Nothing more. Not interesting at all.
