[QUOTE="orbitalfreak, post: 2398700, member: 1669"] I gave it a 6. Almost a 7. I found the movie a bit bland. There was some story, some character development, some action, but it just wasn't presented well. The story was indeed very cookie-cutter, the whole thing seemed a little bit over the top (certain angles, phrases, poses, etc.). Jessica Alba was there for T&A, it seems. I can't really say much for the other actors, either, except the guy who played Johnny. They all had rather unimpressive performances (though Johnny seemed like a real guy). Despite all that, it was a decent way to spend $8 (skipping the coke and popcorn). One pet peeve is a change between the previews and the actual movie. When the Torch dives off the building to distract the missle, in the previews, the music cuts out for a semi-dramatic, li'l bit o' chill bumps-inducing moment when he says "Flame on!" In the movie, the music plays on in the background; I think that takes away from the scene a bit, especially having seen it with a silent background. [/QUOTE]
