miss use of characters

dodgy plot

Hit and miss start to a roller coaster series

At the time my excitement for a blockbuster Marvel film was off the chart waiting for this film, in the end it never really delivered. It does a decent job of introducing a cinema audience to these superheroes but I think for the fans of Marvel comics it left us slightly disappointed. There was some excellent casting choices made in Jackman, Stewart, McKellen and Ashmore, however some of the other choices were terrible. This could have been the start of something so much however in reality was probably a high point in an overall disappointing series of films.

Very good SFX

Packs a punch

Well one compliment I can give this is it feels more like a Marvel film. Apart from Aquaman, Wonder Woman many DC offerings have not matched the Marvel level. I can't say I've heard of any of the characters before, don't know much of the comics. This feels like a film where you should have already seen some of the characters in another film.
There is a ton of action scenes and plenty of carnage in a fairly straightforward of good vs evil but this time with a God like character who will use violence against the enemy.
It's a very enjoyable film overall if not anything ground breaking in the superhero collection.
