Surprisingly awesome

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2011)

I think Zack Synder must suffer from ADHD judging by this film, and thats not a bad thing. I've been a fan of his since Dawn of the dead, not a fan boy but I like his style over substance filmmaking, he's certainly better and more consistent then a lot of other big budget directors out there.
Right from the start we are in the familiar Snyder-isms of CGI and slow motion. Complaints about the lack of story are valid but then that's not the point of this film. Its purely a visual experience and as such it delivers in spades.
Coupled with the sheer beauty of Emily Browning's eyes and game performances from all involved, this is great, not perfect, summer entertainment. I think that Synder continues to grow and develop as a filmmaker, and I look forward to his Superman film.
