The European sense of humour must be different from the North American one for I thought this movie was genuinely funny. First of all you critics from Europe should always note that a movie is a movie--it stands alone as an object of creativity. It is not a carbon copy of your favorite book or in this case comic book writing. I have not seen the pre-quals to this movie but I think based on this movie I would like them. I like this movie in the tradition of the Carry On films it is campy, slapstick humour and that is all I expect of it. I do not expect Francois Truffaut to crawl out of the grave and direct Alain Delon to a Jules And Jim performance whilst Ingmar Bergman laments in the corner of the screen. I think all of you who lambasted this film should lighten up and judge the film for what it is silly, funny, and at times humorous.
