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.

slow, tedious, thriller
To be honest I was very disappointed with this book. I read the back and thought it sounded interesting and intriguing. The plot sounded good and as I had never read a John Grisham novel, I thought why not. It took me over 6 months to read because I found it boring and it really dragged on. When I read a thriller, I at least expect some modicum of violence or the odd descriptive murder, this lacked any. It went along so slow until the ending (which was unrealistic to me) was a welcome. If this is an indication of his writing then I think I will steer clear.
