Thinking Man's Superhero movie

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2016)

The problem with Zack Snyder films is either you like him and his style or you don't.
He doesn't try to be a mainstream popular-ist director say like say "JJAbrams" who has a formulaic approach to film making.
Zack Snyder pushes the boat out and tries different things and you'll either love them or hate them. I personally love them, and this dark brooding version of the Batman V Superman story hits the mark.
The only reason why I haven't scored it 10 is because I think there will be an even better Directors cut when it goes to Blu-ray.
If you're expecting the humour and light touches of the Marvel series then you're in for a shock. This film is the Ying to Deadpool's Yang.
You have to engage fully throughout the film or you will miss key subtleties unlike Deadpool (which I also liked) where you could afford to switch off.
I don't know why the critics didn't get it, maybe they're too old or from a generation that doesn't get DC Universe.
All I will say is watch it with an open mind. Don't compare it to other films.
A great film, but not one for fanboys.
