I’ve enjoyed Zach Snyder’s previous films… 300, Watchmen… so I thought I knew what I was in for… not! It was like being trapped inside an RPG, with swordplay and gunfire and bombs, but with Charlie’s Angels cinematic set-ups, and the main character trapped in an Insane Asylum dreaming her escape by killing a mother of a fire-breathing dragon after dancing in a strip club and… yeah… kinda like that. So I found myself sucked in. I liked it. And anyone else whoever tripped on acid probably will too.

One that’s really splitting opinions! Five of us went to see it, one loved it, one hated it, and the rest of us were closer to the latter category than not! Okay, it looks quite good, but wow is there way too much crammed in there and – imo! – really poorly set out in terms of being able to follow it. Post-viewing conversation and I could see what I’d missed at the time: it has a flash back element. HOWEVER: I think if that’s not obvious to 80% of my group watching it then it really wasn’t done well.

Incidentally, I couldn’t give a damn about the costumes or minimisation thereof.
