I, personally, am a fool for movies about people with superpowers. This one certainly delivers with great action scenes and seamless special effects so that many times (right alongside my 9yo) I found myself yelling out things like "whoa!" and "that was awesome." While I always prefer more character development, I don't mind its absence so much when the action is dazzling. (Plus, there's Jackman, Schreiber, and Reynolds, which is certainly hot guy overkill, but that's just gravy.)
