Wow.
I never got into the TV series, only seeing bits and pieces, but according to a friend of mine there were a few changes made. Obviously it is difficult to transfer from one medium to another without losing a part of the original, so I'd have to say this time I was glad to not know the original work-however, according to my friend, the changes were not bad.
--I just watched the first two episodes of the cartoon...not bad. The changes made were so nominal that it really didn't make a difference in the movie experience for me.--
The acting was pretty good, the characters were believable, although sometimes a bit two dimensional. The ending was left wide open for a second installment.
3D these days is completely different than what was offered when I was a kid. It is more low key, but brilliant in its own right. As far as I know, the movie is only offered in 3D, which is brilliant because I don't think the movie would be as good as it was if in regular film.
There was an attempt at love in the film...the attempt should have been deleted. It was distracting and it screamed this movie needs to be longer!
All in all, I was impressed. The movie has great special effects, awesome fight scenes, and the use of powers during the fight scenes was nice to see. Normally one would see a movie about special powers and only see a glimpse of what the powers do...in this case, the movie really understood the need for the powers to be shown and the production allowed it. I hope to see a second installment.
