Well, the thing to keep in mind is that you got this movie through Netflix which means you had it sent to your home where you could watch it at your own convenience all for the cost of essentially a dollar or maybe less depending on how many movies you get watch per month, all of which is to say that you really didn't have much invested in the movie whereas somebody who had to drive out to the theater and buy a ticket (which sometimes costs as much as the entire monthly fee for Netflix) is likely to be far less forgiving of a movie that turns out to be a waste of time (Ha! Even longer sentence!)

Oh, and they really shouldn't have made Invisible Woman a scientist, nor should she have been about half the age of Mr. Fantastic.
