not enough action

this movie is cool i have only mr.doom i saw him on charmed. but the movie was cool.

I write this review as a parent, not critic. It was high time for a PG superhero movie release. I mean come on. Superheroes are the best for boys under 10. Finally a movie comes out that they can watch. Good stuff include the 4 heroes having a familial relationship and dealing with unwanted attention. Some of this will go over kids heads. The action is few and far between (something the sequel makes up for), but other than a couple very violent scenes with Doctor Doom, this movie is pretty fun.

Strangely, the PG-rated sequel was actually a little more violent then this one. Some scenes show people getting thrown into walls, and one innocent person gets thrown out of a door and lands on the sidewalk. In one scene, the bad guy hits another character with a bolt of electricity and it burns a hole through him (no blood is seen). The language is the main reason I'd give this a PG-13 rating. There was at least one "G" word, and several other expletives that should never be in a movie that's intended to appeal to kids.

8+ 6 stars out of 5

Growing up with the comic book, I was really disappointed with the movie. I can't really put it into words - just an overall lack of something.
