I would've paid $13 just to watch the end credits in 3D

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2013)

This movie gets better every time you watch it. The first time I saw it in theaters, the effects and the fast pace of the plot drew my attention away from the storyline, which is simple enough to neglect. But what I didn't realize is how well written the characters are. I love how these comic-book movies are being connected now, and how they focus on entertainment, the story and the characters, over serious dialogue or complex messages, the way comics should be (I am pointing fingers, DC). Then there's Natalie Portman who, despite playing the gushing love interest decently enough, tends to slow things down when tensions run high, with less compelling (normal maybe) dialogue in what is otherwise a great, campy, extremely colorful fairytale about gods and monsters in a neat 90 minute, pg13 fantasy action adventure... AND THEN you get 15 minutes of the coolest flipping endcredit sequence of galaxies and wormholes all imploding and exploding in vibrant colors and shapes zooming through the universe in glorious 3D, so trippy and wonderful that the stoner in you cries tears of joy into the last bits of popcorn you forgot about because you were too busy verbally abusing your children from that recliner that has permanently morphed to your body shape from how many hours you waste watching movies and reading IMDb comments...
