I watch this movie a lot when I was a teenager.When revisiting it as an adult, I can see why some people can't get into it as it does look dated now, but it will always be a guilty pleasure for me.
What a perfect blend of comedy, action, romance, sci-fi and fantasy all rolled into one.

We've had team-up (see: The Avengers)
We've had crime capers (See: Ant-man)
Up until now, we've had no Martial Arts movies (sorry, Netflix's 'Iron Fist': you don't count as a movie).
