Cousin Greg?! Ramona Flowers?! Dean Pelton?! Snake Plissken?! Dr. Chickering?! Ash Williams?! Danish Graves?! With a cast like this, it’s worth watching even if it’s the most predictable kind of superhero cinema. On the one hand, the film is ahead of The Boys and Invincible in terms of self-awareness; on the other, it draws heavily from villain archetypes established by Power Rangers or Spy Kids, all while radiating that undeniable early-2000s vibe. Back then it was probably aimed at teenagers, but today I think its greatest value lies with those who were teenagers 20 years ago.
