I guess I'm a little confused by your confusion. What was the point? It was a superhero being created out of someone who wasn't, instead of the typical way where someone is vested with some powers and decides to help the world. Willis' character was reluctant to fill the role and only did so because he had to.

I loved it - I thought it was very clever how everything weaved together at the end and the "superhero" aspect emerged without me guessing it beforehand. I know a lot of people were very disappointed with it, but I thought it was more satisfying than The Sixth Sense, actually.

This was a very cleverly constructed movie which left me feeling utterly cheated by the ending. The DVD extras such as the 3d reconstruction of the Grand Central scene was great, but the ending just spoiled the rest of movie. Bwhahaha is what it should have been called.

There is a really great (hint: Watchmen) movie to be made about superheroes, but this isn't it.

I thought it was extremely clever as well, but I also liked the ending: this is probably the only super hero movie that has made me stop for a moment and say "could that have happened?" The fact that the asnwer is almost certainly "no" doesn't change that fact that it made me ask the question.

Tom, a slight quibble: I wouldn't say he was "created" so much as "discovered," and the technique of discovery was, of course, appalling.
