Better than I expected, a realistic take on superheroes, set in an always dirty and grim city, like some parts of New York are, and other places.
But every aspect of it has been done before in other movies, so it's pretty predictable, including the 'twist', which I guessed from the first third.
Still a good experience, far worse films out there.
It just saddens me to look at old actors, like Stallone, Clint Eastwood, etc, just because I don't want them to be old, or become old ever. People should stop aging at 40 or something, and die after 300 years. Everyone would be smarter, calmer, and live better.

Finally watched this the other night... I think the concept of this movie was better than the execution of it.
I didn't hate it. Just felt pretty average and forgettable in the end.
