Zack Snyder creates a daring vision of iconic characters; a truly ground-breaking comic book film.

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2016)

Firstly, this must be said: if you're looking for an uplifting, easy-going, and feel-good film then this movie is NOT for you. However, if you're into psychologically complex, challenging, dark, and unique takes on superheroes then this movie is definitely for you. I feel that a lot of people went into this expecting it to be an Avengers-type experience but this is actually quite the opposite.
As a child, I remember reading Batman and Superman comic books and daydreaming about how they would look on the big screen as a movie. Well, last night while watching this film, those dreams turned into a reality. The director, Zack Snyder, has created a ground-breaking comic book film. My jaw literally dropped at the beauty of some of the shots in addition to the incredible cinematography.
Snyder needs to be commended for the risks he took in terms of the characters and story. He could have easily crafted a conventional, cookie cutter action film but here he dares to challenge the viewer's perceptions on superheroes, morality, and even our place in the universe. Make no mistake, this film is very deep and contemplative and I don't think many viewers will respond positively to that.
I challenge everyone to ignore the overwhelming (and undeserving) negative critic reviews and JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. Again, this movie is not for everyone and definitely not for young children.
