Come on, give it a 5!!!

Granted it's not a piece of art, but hey!!! it's an adaptation of a comic!! Come on guys how many shitty adaptation got way better than this lousy 4.6?? Are you just mad or plain stupid? The first HULK, 5.8!!! Fantastic 4, 5.8!!! Even Spawn & Judge Dredd got it better with 4.7!!! So what if it doesn't have loads of special effect to compensate for the lame storyboard you people put it down?

So let me just tell you, that movie respected the spirit of the book, the wackiness of the characters and therefore it deserve more than just a lousy 4.6, I don't ask for the moon, give a 5 or a 6 if you want, I just think it's a better than average movie, it's worth watching and enjoying it, and if you are not sure, check the comic first.

There is one down side in that movie, the rippers which are much more beardy in the comics, they are looking a wee bit too goofy...

Anyway this post is just a cry for injustice
