Terrific Movie

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2016)

Full disclosure: I am a lifelong Superman and Batman fan. (And I go back to 1958). The critics who are down on this movie don't get it. Many of them are comparing it unfavorably to the "bright and colorful" Marvel movies. I love the Marvel movies, but this is a darker, grittier take on the superhero mythos. To those who understand: this is Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns" Batman comics meets Superman's "Doomsday" comics. It blew my mind. It is much better than Snyder's "Man of Steel" in that while the closing battle is intense, it isn't that far over the top.The movie touches on so many Superman and Batman themes that it is a great gift to the fan boys and girls.Plus an utterly amazing and believable take on Wonder Woman. I was enthralled the whole time. Go!
