Alternate Versions

When the film was originally released in Germany, the dubbing was highly criticized for adding lowbrow humor. To rectify this, distributor Capelight ordered a new dubbing (which reflected the original tone of the movie) and the film was re-released (with both dubbings) on Blu-ray/DVD.

User Reviews

Boring , don't waste your time and money

Story is absolutely boring and predictable easily. It just make me feel like this movie is copycat from other super hero movie. Another disappointment is the CG and acting is pretty bad. The character almost don't have any unique characteristic of themselves. Some detail is just came up without knowing how it be and how it go (Doesn't make any sense), Haste makes waste .
