Wonderful, gripping, spellbinding, edge of seat, super!

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 2012)

I don't write many reviews. I don't get over-excited about many films. I don't expect to be blown away by a celluloid creation. This movie did it. I thought Spiderman was great...this left it trailing in its wake. For those who like to see more than the comic, you have all the allegories of the overthrow of capitalism and the financial classes being given their come-uppance by a dictator who fills the gap when "normal" politics has failed. If you just want to be thrilled, entertained, gob-smacked, fascinated by a cinematic experience then forget all the intellectual layers and enjoy a feast of visual goodies with a clever and witty script for additional fun. Unless you are a hard-boiled cynic, or someone who only usually enjoys indie cinema, then you are in for the treat of a lifetime here.
