"Maxs journey from nobody to super-villain could have been an intriguing exploration of race in New York. Before his transformation, Max is exploited by a large corporation. After he is changed, Max staggers out into the streets of New York in a hoodie, looking either physically or mentally ill. And when he is captured, he is turned into a medical research subject by an unscrupulous doctor. Any one of these situations might have been an interesting way into how black New Yorkers are treated by big companies when they are employees, the police when they are homeless or ill, or the medical establishment when they are sick."
This is a portion of a review from the Washington Post. I'm now convinced that some people give negative reviews because their ideas didn't make it in the film. I think I'm officially done caring about the RT score.
Oh gosh ... I'm not a fan of the movie whatsoever, but that review is pretty ridiculous.
And, I am not surprised this kind of review came from The Washington (com)Post. That newspaper is constantly on some kind of soapbox; of course they'd suggest this idea for a comic book movie.


Except maybe avenging spidey?
