Reel Talk:

Now you all know that I am The Reel Hustler and that title en-tales that I keep it real with you. Well this movie should be called Fantastic Sleeper. It started out interesting as it displayed the Marvel Comic book characters who are normally portrayed as adults but now they are young teens. But it just got slower and slower to the point that I literally fell asleep. So unfortunately I can not give an accurate review other than it was kinda boring to me up to when I dozed off. It definitely does not have the action and intensity of the previous movie adaptation. You can save your money and wait for the DVD or go see it at your own risk.
