The one thing that keeps this in the realm of film territory, is the fact that yes, it is based off a comic book series, but that doesn't mean we always have to be reminded of that. Adaptations are of course, a way to be loyal, but also re-interpret. And in that sense, this movie becomes a a film. A film with sly wit, grungy sexiness ("Sexiness"... Is that even a word?) and slick action. But my favorite part?The surprises. Not huge plot twists, but charming little gems of charisma the script reveals it has for us as we watch.
And that, my fellow tree-climbers, is a feat in itself.
