I was afraid of this...
Funny thing was I was listening to NPR and they even ripped it a new one since it went off of the original comic story and added some sterotypical action movie fluff not based on anything.
I find it interesting how a lot of movies now-a-days are reproducing old stuff (mostly from my childhood), try a personal twist from the original story lines to make a buck. It actually makes me a bit irritated... All of those things I liked as a kid are slowly being butchered on the big screens now... Comics (Xmen, Punisher, etc), Star Wars (although I'm kindof liking the cartoon networks shows), Transformers, and soon we'll have yet another... GI Joe.
Originality is dead it seems.
