This movie may be the tipping point were I transform from a comic book movie fan to someone who has grown tired of the genre. However, that is not to say this is a bad movie and I loved how funny it was, as well as the gossip scenes and the fight scenes taking place on miniature sets. Paul Rudd is his usual charming self* and though I had some plot quibbles, this was a pretty solid film.

*As discussed before, he imprinted on me when I watched Clueless and he can do no wrong.

As soon as Michael Pena appeared on screen, I thought to myself, “Wasn’t he in Crash?” He was! He’s the only bright spot in Crash, actually. I absolutely loved him in this film. I enjoyed the film a lot while I was watching it, but after the fact, it slowly sank in that it wasn’t anything special. It’s difficult to put into words what I mean. It wasn’t terrible, but it also didn’t blow me away. Unlike some of the other superhero movies, I don’t think I’ll ever watch it again.
Paul Rudd is really a delight. Even when he is in the so many so-so movies that he often picks. But, as you say, the Clueless charm imprinted early!
