I admit it, I was also disappointed by this movie. Part of me loves the representation, but I really wish they had done a better job with the story instead of making it yet another over-the-top cliched hole-studded superhero movie.

I thought the holes were bigger than most, and the loose threads more obvious than in any movie I can remember. And yet, something happens to people in that movie that shouldn't be underestimated. There's something at work in that story that's quite hopeful to me, as a writer. I can never be perfect, my stories can never be totally right, and yet they can be powerful enough to change people, to make them see things they never saw before. That's all I should want as a writer, and THAT I can achieve.
Agreed! The perfectionist in me always wants a shiptight plot, but as I reader I notice I'm more drawn in by the characters and emotions and context. (Though I could do without them hiding behind special effects.) I am glad this movie got made and sparked the conversations it did, and I hope all our writing can do the same!
Amen to that!
