Review
So as you may well have noticed by the number of posters i have posted for this film that i really like and yes you would be right this film may not be the most cohesive piece but for sheer brilliance of imagery and design there aren't many better main stream Steampunk and i for one want more maybe I'm alone in this but when i watch a Sci Fi /Fantasy film i want to see something that will influence my dreams and this film does just that. Zack Snyder has made a film that has thrown off the shackles of the typical 3d blockbusters that have flooded the multiplexes in the last few years and has made a 2d movie that is truly truly beautiful.and makes a cinematic Luddite like myself very happy .
The films lead cast are varied bunch of talents but for the requirements of the film they do a perfect job and maybe it's because I'm a bloke and i like looking at sexy girls kick ass but maybe it's because the film is a pure work of genius I'd like to think that it's a bit of both.
Rating 9/10
