Ratings and reviews

I first saw this at a midnight release in my local cinema having seen the trailer & thinking that it looked really good, I was mistaken. The trailer was the best part & having seen it many times in the run up to the film release I find the actual film to be boring & just plain crap. I watched it again in the past few years, but my view was waiting to be changed, it wasn't. Will not watch it again.

Really good film. Had never read the comic (to my shame) but thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It's pretty long and for me, I enjoyed it more on the 2nd and 3rd viewing.

Zack Snyder was and is always ahead of his time. I wish the director's cut was on the Google playstore!! His adaptation of the comic book is spot-on and more. Zack is definitely pushed the boundaries on this one. I guess you can say he never compromised, not even in the face of Armageddon? A really well thought out and in-depth movie that positively reflects on the comic book. If you get the chance to watch the director's cut I highly recommend!
