A very special film

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2019)

It's been years since a movie seemed interesting enough to convince me to see it in theaters but I am glad this one did. This is what the world needs more of from filmmakers. Everything about it had a fresh and unique take on what has become the most boring genre of movies: the superhero origin story. Obviously the visuals were quite original with the comic-book-meets-CGI animation but they weren't distracting and fit the flow of the story quite well. A beautifully written script went hand-in-hand with the characters and their personalities producing some great laughs and moments that pulled at you. What truly amazed me in this movie was how it all fit together so well. I was never taken out of the movie's world. Never heard an off-beat line or awkward joke that made you cringe and never wondered how much longer I had to sit there. If you are a fan of well crafted films that carry you from beginning to end without a bump, you'll enjoy this movie. Even if you don't care for comic books and super hero's, this one just might make you.
