Why this movie crashed and burned...Okay, I'm on vacation with my wife and son in Gatlinburg, Tennessee celebrating five wonderful years of marriage so this will be quick. (A wife and a child, kinda voids my geek membership card doesn't it.)
First off, at a time where people are looking to the movies to provide a temporary respite from the problems of the day, a story stripping away the glitter of our super heroes and leaving us even one less thing to believe in was sure to be a hit. ("Hey honey, we need a break from all this bad news about the economy, let's go watch a movie about the Alamo!") See what I mean?
Second and I think most important; What guy wants to take his girl to a movie where she gets to look at a bigger-than-life-swinging-blue-schlong for nearly three hours that he knows the one he hopes to bang her with later will never compare to? ( "Oh, Charles, I guess we'll never have to worry about you becoming a super-villain now will we?") Like us geeks don't have enough problems with girls as it is. Duh...
Last but not least, I've seen better actors in porn flicks and they didn't have the benefit of costumes to hide behind.
This film was doomed from the very beginning.
Now if you'll excuse me I've got a family vacation to enjoy.

Hello fanboys and girls.
Gotta a little love you'd like share? Go right on ahead and feel free to lay it on me. (Even if it's the tough kind.)
