Few writers are better at getting into the heads of a twelve year old boy than Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, which is the take of this superhero adaptation. Rogen’s lead may be a millionaire but he’s mostly into doing cool stuff with his cool friend (eg build gadgets, disguises). Rogen and Jay Cho (as Kato) never have the easy camaraderie that say the boys in Superbad do – the fact is, Kato is still an employee. And what’s Cameron Diaz doing in this film? She’s too old and not believable as a potential love interest of either. Some terrific production design and clever action sequences, and this is probably the best version of this story these guys could have come up with, but it didn’t quite work.
