At times it has a funny, Austin Powers/James Bond/Mad Men retro vibe. It’s well-made, fast paced, and at times, surprisingly violent. The performances from the new kids and the non-stars are all top notch. There’s a showy performance from Kevin Bacon as the main villain. There are also some quick but pleasant reminders of the Brian Singer movies. It’s a serious and respectful adaptation of the hero comic, grounded in the realistic era of the Cuban Missile Crisis. It’s a fun night at the movies.
