December 2015, I didn't know much about Zack Snyder. I loved this movie

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2018)

It was the time when I started watching superhero movies, I had never read a comic before. All I knew was from my knowledge from cartoon network and Dark Knight trilogy. I had seen most Xmen movies and a few MCU movies.
I was intrigued with the very first poster I had seen on Facebook, which lead me to watch this master piece of a film. Though Zack Snyder has a reputation for using excessive slow motion shots. I wouldn't have enjoyed this movie as much if it were any different.
I was so awestruck by the movie that when I learnt that there was a directors cut to it, I had to watch that, and a few weeks later when I learnt that there was an ultimate cut I had to watch that too.
The character development in this movie was surreal, i would blindly believe if you told me that all these characters had existed in said era (80's) and still would be whining about the *Spoiler*(never compromise, not even in the face of armageddon) in the climax.
Dr. Manhattan, Niteowl 2, and Rorschach were brilliantly written, portrayed and designed. Comedian had his own charm, And Ozymandias he is the showstopper, other characters were equally beautiful but I was too engaged with these characters to even look at rest.
