My kids thought it was a great show. They ran around for the next week pretending to be really fast/invisible/strong.
I wasn't very impressed. As ever the effects were adequate, even the story was good. The character development was lacking and the acting was wooden.
The movie has a couple of guys who should be really funny; Tim Allen & Chevy Chase. They just weren't made use of in a funny way. Courtenay Cox was funnier and for her that's saying something.
The climax was anticlimactic but I think this links back to poor character development. We just didn't get to know the bad guy enough to really care about him.
