Straight from the comic with some subtle differences. Still has plenty of underlying politics for it’s time that resonates with today.
I enjoyed it and loved the style and visuals, but it is a bit of a letdown after reading the comic first. I didn’t like some of the changes
It may not be a great adaptation but I still really enjoyed it and its visuals
The absolute best intro to a movie I’ve ever seen! It gives you all of the backstory in graphic detail. Perfect setup for the movie
Little long, but different than most super hero movies
I agree this is one of Zack Synder’s best works. The action, depth, the stunts, all 100%.
One of the best superhero movies. Great story and amazing acting. The original superhero team up and it's executed perfectly.
Visually stunning. I would have liked the big squid monster though.
I think I benefit from not reading the source material because I really enjoy this film! It has its failings, but the message is intact.
Whoever at DC/WB said, “We gotta get the 300 guy for this,” was correct this one time. Maturity of the novel matches Snyder’s 2000s edginess
