I would really like the opinion of someone who hasnt read the comics
Well, here we go then!
I am not a sci fi / superhero enthusiast. I can deal with things which are simple, like Spiderman: one good guy, bad people against him, quite black and white really. I think thats how a superhero film works.
That leads to me on about how this film doesn't. It is really too long and stretched out, but oddly I found it was the beginning that put me to sleep (yes, literally!). Including the trailers you are sitting there for 3hrs, which I found to be exhausting for such a simple moral.
I don't really pick up on acting in general, but I thought this was average, nothing struck me as exciting or any of the cast were hitting above their standard.
Without giving the plot away (I hope), there is an old superhero team, and a couple of them are investigating why one of them died, follows a few personal tales and you are struck with the simple moral: Wherever you go... somebody just has to go and be a dick.
My mate that wanted to see it felt it was a very deep ending, but IMO it was basic and shallow. If everybody has the right to a free and informed opinion, there will be clashes. Although may I point out that the story also adds in that you have to lie to people if you want them to all get along.
All of the above should be considered as thoughts of someone who is not into this kind of film, and ofcourse its all my opinion, no offense intended.
On a brighter note, the
very beginning was interesting to see historical clips, as I do enjoy that time's history.
Being generous as its not my kind of film, 7 / 10 or maybe even 7.5
