And here I thought the emotional moments were me mourning brother Bone.
Agreed with Greg's appraisals completely. I was surprised by this. The human story in the foster home was heartwarming, actually better than the superhero story. The mild-mannered secret identity story is fresh; the superhero story was cliche, until the end. The quips were funny enough that one actually got me to chuckle out loud. Not epic, but entertaining in a light, fanciful way. Some great nods to the DCEU too. I hope those are reciprocated somehow.
I do have one semi-complaint. Eugene. WTH man. Why are characters named Eugene always nerds? And this kid was Asian, with a reggae hat (although that seemed unintentional). He was a videogamer, which I am not, so it wasn't that close to the mark, but still...really? I would've been rather upset with him had the film not ended up like it did.
