A mess. And why cast Sean Connery? With all the character and charisma onscreen, CGI puppets would have done the job as well.I really wanted this to be good as I like the comics, but this failed on many levels.

I caught this on tv last night and happened to find some similarities between this and The Avengers, only that movie is great fun with a strong sense of drive and passion to it while this movie is completely half-assed. I never read the comics so I don't know how faithful it is, but either way it's just lousy. The characters despite their unique abilities and backgrounds are about as interesting as toast, the direction is stale, the visual effects were dated even when this movie came out and the script is a complete hack job. Sub-plots that should have developed interesting characters vanish as soon as they appear, the main plot itself makes no sense and any creative ideas are squandered by terrible execution.

It's almost like Cowboys & Aliens in that regard, where no-one involved shows any real devotion to the project and the whole thing just seems like it's on auto-pilot. What a terrible film.

2.5/10

By the way the Nautilus has to be the least subtle mode of transportation ever. How did they ever get inside the canals of Venice with that big thing anyway?
