The framework is definitely there and it covers some interesting themes like identity, self-believe or comic-book obsession and does it in a way where it doesn't seem overly preach, which is a fine thing. With that said, the execution is somewhat disappointing.
Lets cover the positives of the film, because I don't want people to think that I'm just shitting all over this:
- The acting is superb for the most part. McAvoy was great again and easily the best…
This is the best type of remake. It used as framework, the premise of the original, and turned it into its own unique thing. And that's the best way to describe this movie, unique.
