If ever there were a movie where the previews absolutely turned me off beforehand, this was it. I'm glad I saw it anyway.

A lot of love went into this film. It's over the top silly, and Jude Law is the perfect leading man here. I've never been a big fan of Gwyneth Paltrow or Angelina Jolie, but they both do well in this film, perhaps because the characters are all caricatures--but in this film, any attempt at real depth in character would have rung false. It's just a rollicking good time, as long as you roll with the cheesiness, and the cheesiness is so infectious that it's hard not to.

So go see this film, but see it with the right attitude. Look for the cheesiness, savor it, and roll around in it.

I'll see it just because Gwyneth is in it.

I thought the previews were pretty good. I was a little turned off because they were a complete rip off of the old superman cartoon, but I guess it comes with the territory.

I was annoyed for the first half of the movie because of how cheesy the lighting effects were, but in the end it turned out to be a really good movie.

Ah, Angelina Jolie....:)

I'm trying to spoof this movie w/the title 'Sky CRAPtain and the World of Tomorrow'

I want to see it, but only because it is the first film made with real actors, but no real sets or backrounds. Besides, I'm fascinated by retro-future stuff.
