Greatest 2 and a half hours of my life!

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2016)

This movie is a love letter to comic books with no doubt about it. The characters, the story telling, the visual effects are skilfully lifted straight from the page to the screen; if you love comic books, you're going to love this movie.
Ben Affleck truly is the Batman of our time, he looms over everyone and is absolutely brutal, yet still contains his core of good and justice. In all honesty, Wonder Woman brought tears to my eyes I can't even imagine anyone other that Gadot in her roll, every second she has of screen time is a blessing. While this version of Lex Luther takes time to adjust to, Issenburg plays is a seriously terrifying villain superbly.
The fight scenes are choreographed to perfection and humour is tastefully seen throughout giving us a laugh without detracting from the seriousness of the epic. This movie is a lot more serious and adult than others we've seen in the superhero genera in the way that it handles superheroes and draws very clever attention to the reality of these characters.
This film has a lot to handle, one criticism could be that it could almost do with a longer run time but this would also perhaps be an issue, a few times it may feel it moves very quickly to keep everything in and going but not enough to be a problem. This may also be improved upon by the extended edition blu-ray release.
At the end of the day this is a movie for the fans, it's everything a DC fan could ever want. Which may also explain the overly harsh and negative reviews from critics, they have no interest or knowledge of actual comic books and apparently felt no need to any work or research into any information before writing their reviews yet still feel that their opinion is more important than fans. From a sense of the average movie goer who should not be expected to do research into films it could make some sense but to disregard the whole movie because they didn't understand it or want to is very sad.
If you have zero interest in comics or action, this probably is not the film for you, if you are a fan of comics, action, suspense and superheroes, get ready for a fantastic time!
