This film is important for many reasons. After Batman & Robin pissed off audiences
everywhere, nearly killing the superhero genre, this movie, along with Blade, revived the
genre.
Not only that, but it set the formula on how to write a good ensemble superhero
film, something that wouldn't be outdone until The Avengers.
And then you've got the
element of diversity: strong female characters, one of them black, a handicapped team
leader, and a Jew. This movie captured the essence of the comic and set up a franchise to
remember. And it did it on a low budget.
