Three out of four stars. Over the top? Oh H*ll yes! Get ready to laugh when you see the 3D glasses. The back story was probably the best part of the film. All the characters were great, good guys and bad. I will admit it started to stall a bit toward the end, but picked back up. Just good ole' summer escapism. If box office is good, it set itself up for a sequel. And yes, Murdock steals the show.
