As a 61 year old man I was blown away

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2017)

Just out of college, I went to the midnight opening of Chris Reeve Superman in 1978 and have seen all the Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man and even Ant man. This movie is as good as any Spiderman(I think 2 is the best) and Superman(again 2 is the best) and in some ways breaks new ground. I have 5 reasons to give it a 10. 1.The opening scene (a faded photo from millionaire Batman Bruce Wayne no less) ties in to an excellent scene 2/3 of the way through the movie and adds continuity where they take pictures like so many WW1 pictures I see in the daily Mail every day 2.It is the first time I have seen a superhero in a real life situation.. the Green Goblin or Doctor Octopus are not real but WW1 is real and even Ludendorff is real. For that reason alone it is ground breaking 3. If you have seen "Paths of Glory" or "All Quiet.." you know what "over the top" means. To see Wonder Woman go over the top is amazing, and the fact that Steve(love interest) says "she is taking all the fire..let's go" makes it even better. I could watch that scene all day.
4 The scenes of London and the crossing to the continent ring true having seen "Chariots of Fire" and even Downton Abbey we know what carnage WW1 brought to the U.K and continent. The attention to detail is amazing
I want to see this again and fear that the director could not possibly see lightning strike twice is a sequel. I will certainly give it a shot
Spoiler- 5. Steve actually dies..I am sick of the "love interest" miraculously surviving at the end and we see WW feel pain that will motivate her to continue to serve.
Well done by one and all
