People don't rate fairly

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2017)

One main reason I don't read reviews any more is because people have strong biases and silly reasons to down rate a good movie, and it's getting to the point it needs to stop. We seem to live in an era where it's considered 'cool' or normal to follow the pack and throw silly dirt on decent movies. However, after all the ridiculous things I had heard people complain about in this movie, I went into the cinema and was not disappointed! It was a great movie! I had to come back here and make sure the critics didn't destroy this one. I even read about the superman moustache issue beforehand, and not me, nor my partner nor anyone else I asked could see it! I tried really hard and just could not see it, yet that was a major thing people kept bringing up. Another complaint people had was the cliché plot- what do you expect? It's a superhero movie, and what do superheroes do best? Defeat villains of course! This is true of the comics as well. Pretty much all Marvel/DC movies and comics revolve around 'bad guy wreaks havoc and superheroes save the day'. Speaking of comics, people seem to down-rate movies that aren't clones of the comics, rather than viewing the movies as pieces inspired or driven by the comics, yet separate pieces of content. Then of course there are the ones that just can't accept new actors in the roles they had seen others in previously (e.g. The Flash TV actor, Smallville etc.)
Right, now all that is said, let's talk about the movie: it was a great movie. It did a good job of introducing each main character and establishing how they fit into the team/their backgrounds. Whilst many people are familiar with these characters, not everyone is, so it was a good move. There are some bloopers, and lots of action making it an enjoyable movie for many tastes. One point I do have to make is that in the movie, they make several mentions of the fact that Barry is a genius, yet the words he speaks and actions he takes give the impression he is not so much.
