It was entertaining up until the bytch kid turned all angsty and started fukkin shyt up. I hated that dude after the lighting in the sky scene.

To be honest there was never anything likable at him. Even when his dad was punking him I didn't feel sorry for him because he was so wack.

It was a good film, I was pleasantly surprised but the way they killed Vince Howard was wrong.

1. They did the black kid dirt.
2. The gas station part was so fukking pointless.

Why in the fukk did dude leave the pharmacy cuz he couldn't afford his mom's medication....then go and rob the fukking gas station?:what: He could've just taken the fukking drugs right there and bounced. shyt was BEYOND unnecessary. :wtf:

Exactly why i said the movie was ass...i'm not going for they were just kids cop out either. As high school age kids( can't remember but were they seniors?) they were making some junior high school moves. Like they were the dumbest 3 people to ever get some superpowers.

Just watched it too. The effects guy and director of photography deserve props, no doubt. The characters make decisions so idiotic at some points that it makes your body hurt and I think that's the point of the film: What happens when you give three young & stupid kids godlike power.

Decent movie. I don't regret the MS points spent ordering it. I do think they missed some opportunities to explore some potentially cool themes they seemed to be setting up early on. Without giving anything away, the third act was by far my least favorite.

Why would u do that when eventually u have to come back to the pharmacy to re-up. And he obviously didn't want to get caught. Robbing the pharmacy would have aired him out instantly. The feds would have been at his mom crib before he made it home.

Then it would've made more sense to come in masked up and raid the whole supply. If he were so desperate to rob a gas station, then that would've been the better alternative by far.

Ur right but still that would have been a dead give away. It wouldn't take much to trace it back to him. The pharmacist would have known who he was the moment he asked for the pills. Even if he killed the dude, the feds would have been questioning him that same night, he would have been prime suspect #1.

shyt would have been cray if andrew would have lost control of his power like tetsuo. but then it would be more of an obvious rip off.

Wallace from the Wire all cleaned up. :krs:


Entertaining movie, but I agree it had some major plot holes.

I also think they left a major opportunity on the table with the way they ended it.

While I don't appreciate them killing of Wallace, it set things up for Andrew to get all "dark" and turn into a villain while his cousin is forced to fight him after he kills his girl.....they left a sequel/origin of a comic story on the table.

I also didn't like the camera gimmick.
