I loved the characters and many of the plot points but there were also quite a few unnecessary characters and subplots, which really takes away from the main plots and makes the movie much longer than it really should be.

Fantastic.

I feel this movie really captures all the elements of the comics that the original trilogy did not. Although I am a fan of the original films (and still appreciate the impact on big screen adaptions for comic books) and I was not impressed with the quick reboot (at first), as the pieces started to fall in place I became excited and I was not let down.

I had a feeling that this film was going to turn into a romp of a comedy but it stayed true and sincere. That's what made it worth watching and recommending.
