Apologists: Stop lying to yourself. This movie was bad, not compared to Citizen Kane, but compared to other superhero movies. It was slapdash, ugly, and stupid. The idiots in my theater braying at the obligatory shot in the nuts were the target audience for this movie. The pathetic attempts before and after the credits to undo all the movie had done were stupid -- if you're going to go big, don't wimp out. Spoiler: Patrick Stewart seemed happy to be out of the movie, and with good reason. Just bad and disappointing all around -- but still not as horryfing as Ghost Rider.
