I'll admit it's been years sence I've seen this movie but I do remember the key plot points and I may be wearing rose colored glasses when i say this but I thought it was okay. Back in the early 2000's and even now adaptations are a risky venture in cinema. If your name wasn't marvel you were pretty much boned. Sure we got something like a series of unfortunate events or speed racer, were it wasnt a perfect adaptation but still a competently made movie or if you not really looking for something groundbreaking and just want some mindless action and fun. But more often than not we got something like smurfs, orgod forbid Alvin and the chipmunks. Call me generous but for the time it was made I'll gladly take something that has its moments over aco complete dumpster fire al the way through anyday.
