No offence but you can't get much more American patriotism if you tried with that character... i mean Superman often goes there too, but he doesn't have the American flag pasted on him. Don't take it the wrong way, i feel the same when the British flag is pasted places on things. Its okay within a country, but it doesn't look good elsewhere...

Plus I'm also not a Marvel fan. Their heroes for a couple of decades were all carbon copies of DC comics (now DC copies Marvel). Example the X-men were a clone of the Legion of Superheroes. Right down to cloning certain members powers in the end. I tend to stick with traditional DC comics, how ever dated they can be. ^_^' I think the positive reviews may end up swaying your opinion ;) Yes... Because I thoroughly enjoyed Titanic the movie when I finally saw it based on the fact its reviews were great. Or Lord of the Rings...

Not intending to offend here, but a 31 I have sense not to really pay much attention to reviews so I can draw my own conclusions. By this assumption, i should hate movies that were ranting as bad by reviewer.

Lets put things in perspective. i grew up in the mid 80-90s and left school in the yer 2000 in the UK. They were still playing The magic roundabout on channel 4. Ivor the Engine was also still playing... Bagpuss... The Clangers... Rosie and Jim... Up until the old satellite TV systems hit the uK, I had 4 channels of TV to watch and i got used to being able to endure crap. By the time Rescue Rangers and Gummi Bears came out and the likes of this, I was fully aware that crap shows existed. Now when peple say movies like "Chicken Little" are bad I have to reply "how". Because compared to the TV I had to put up with as a child, chicken Little was a gem. Oh sure we had shows like Cities of Gold and transformers, but they an awful lot of them went on the satellite TV system and not the basic BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel 4 (Cities of gold went onto BBC1 though). Instead they played shows like Bananaman, Animals of Farthing Wood... And this was the high end of British TV for children. =_='

The green Lateran I've watched purposely to see what Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory went on about how disappointing it was only to come out saying "So... what was I suppose to hate about that...?". I'm not saying I hate or love it, I drew my own conclusions from it. When I watched Chicken Little, I hadn't even seen a review or an opinion on it until 2 years after I saw it. And I cringed through the first part, but overall liked it, so i don't get why it would make it into a top 10 worst lists like I've seen on youtube... I wanted to escape the classroom when Austin Powers was put on during a end of term Maths Class as I thought the movie was God awful. (Fun fact; half way through the showing, the entire class was either doing the maths work set by our tutor or not watching the TV playing it at all - it got banned after our head of year walked in and decided it was inappropriate for the classroom). i'd rather have watched back to back episodes of the entire Ivor the Engine from its black and white episodes to colour then to sit through another showing of this 1 movie.

So yeah... i'll see the movie eventually as I did with green Lateran i'm sure... But for now, people can go on about how good it is, but the truth is the hero its based on doesn't appeal to me, and i'm overall not a superhero fan. i will watch it when it goes to DVD and I can own the DVD as long as I am willing to hang onto it. and most likely, since i'm not in a rush to see it, I'll wait for it to turn up in a boot sale... Or charity shop... or a second hand store like Cex... As i generally do when a movie comes out i have little interest in. i tend to hate a movie more if i'm forced or coxed into seeing it against my will, as was the case with Austin Power, Hancock and Kill Bill.
