Was pleasantly surprised and haters

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2015)

Gonna hate I suppose. I was expecting something different after watching the trailers and agonizing over the release of this{for over a year} yet what I watched was amazing. This is one of those movies I guess people are going to be in either category of love or hate. As I mentioned this was not what I thought it was going to be but it is an amazing piece of cinema. And there in lies the problem; It is a great film and has superb acting, cinematography and the soundtrack is wildly ear pleasing relevant to the movie. Unfortunately you have the comic book movie crowd seeing this thinking "OH YEAH A MICHAEL KEATON ACTION SUPER HERO MOVIE!!" and they were wrong. This movie was brilliant. Well acted amazingly shot and very thought provoking. Its a sad day in cinema when people can't watch a movie like this and compare it to iron man or the avengers. Don't get me wrong, I love comic book movies; I geek out every time DC or Marvel announce a new film and I read a lot of comics; I also watch a lot of other movies from a lot of genres and this was a true gem. In short this was as I said not what I was expecting yet I was glued to the screen and loved every minute of it. People that are complaining are missing the point I think and were expecting something different like I was and are not aware of what true cinema and art are. In summation a wonderfully written and directed movie and many actors and actresses deserve all the award nods {and hopefully a few wins } they deserve.
