a reboot not a retelling

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2017)

I went in with no expectations and was delightfully surprised.
I was disappointed that they changed the actor playing him again, but after the opening sequence I was sold.
It had action, character development, cool special effects-that furthered the story (and weren't just there to be pretty), and lots of humor. I'm trying to remember the last time I laughed this much in a movie. (Wonder Woman).
I think this movie would be doing much better if they had stressed that it wasn't a retelling of the origin story.
The only reason I didn't give it a higher score was because the best friend got on my nerves (until the end).
This is a really good super hero movie.
