This film's solid reception has me cautiously optimistic that it will be good, but people gave The Force Awakens a good reception as well and that movie ****ing blows cock. So I want to see how your taste aligns with my own.
Well, I have no idea what you like, but I agree with you the Force Awakens was horrible. 👆
This movie isn't that bad though, it has some positives.
I see why everyone seems to love this movie, but I was disappointed about a few things:
1. I wanted more mythology. When they stated that pretty much all the gods were already dead I was bummed. I wanted to see them and some mythical beasts like we saw in the animated version.
2. That final fight scene was disappointing as was Ares. I wanted him to fight a little more but he just used tk, which was good but I wish he got a little more physical.
Besides these points I really enjoyed the movie
Well this was...better. With BvS and SS they tried to pack in too much. With this they perhaps cut out too much which left a few aspects unexplored. The peripheral characters were mostly likeable if underdeveloped. Ares was garbage though. A real miscast which is a shame as Thewlis is a talented actor. Perhaps the best surprise is that Gal Gadot is excellent. Her emotional portrayal feels more genuine than I thought it would. They don't overplay her naivety or how people react to her strange outlook on the world. It had probably the right amount of cheesy "epic tale" type movie about it.
A solid 7/10
