Inept acting ruins everything

The completely inept acting abilities of Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson do a good job of ruining the movie and grinding every scene they're in to a halt. The love story is a total miscalculation, the two leads have absolutely no chemistry and it is painful to watch. The story itself proves to be interesting, especially the superhero discovering his powers, but a lot is held back in the hopes of a sequel. Most action scenes these days are made on the cheap with a cut every second or less to minimize the amount of choreography involved and shooting time. This movie is no exception, most of the time I had no idea what the hell was going on. With two capable leads the film would have worked a lot better since so much of it revolves around their relationship.
