I wasn't crazy about it at first, but as I think about it, I like it more and more simply because it wasn't another "let's dress in black leather and show how dark and dangerous the world can be" type of movie. It was a superhero movie where things were kind of light and fun-- just the things that brought me to comics in the first place some 30 years ago.

The trend these days is to be as violent, dark and pessimistic as possible. Torch was great because he was enjoying his powers and having fun.

Frankly I am amazed that the new Superman film doesn't have him dressed in black and carrying Kryptonian machine guns to blow the crap out of the villains....
