Dark and takes it time building

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2016)

I really enjoyed "Man of Steel", I thought that movie sizzled right from the start, and the scene where General Zod and his army first come to Earth and announce "You are not alone" is one of the creepiest I've ever seen. By contrast "Dawn of Justice" is one of the darkest, slow burning movies of this genre imaginable. As a casual movie fan, who only goes to the box office to see big budget, usually super-hero\action movies like this, it just amazed me how long it took to get going. The pacing certainly tests one's patience, but throughout the movie there are some great scenes. I am just glad I watched it at home on Blu-Ray, so I could pause and walk away for a while. I don't think there is any way I could have taken this movie in in one sitting.
