Why You Should Watch It:  First off, it's actually really good!  It's directed by Joe Johnston before he ever thought of making a Captain America film 20 years later, and it's a fun throwback to old fashioned super hero action films!  The film is hitting Blu-Ray soon too so more the reason to watch it now
