I couldn't agree more with you. This movie gets so much ****, but you have to consider the source material. The comics were never amazingly violent, they were adventure comics. Its a comic about family, and its made for people who read comics, and also geared towards families. Thats the basis to the whole dynamic. Its a family (though not all related (Ben)), and them dealing with their powers, and dealing with each other. But at the same time, very light hearted. Johnny and Ben's dynamic is the prime example. They have the powers to destroy people, physically, but they usually spend time slapping whipped cream on each other's faces while they sleep.

People who expected this movie to be a dark, serious comic book movie, ala' Batman Begins, or (GAG) Spider-Man, were sadly mistaken. But they shouldn't have been.
