Troubling and encouraging at the same time. On one hand, this is The Movie I've Been Waiting For for Fifty Years. No really. I meant that literally. So I'm happy to see they didn't retcon the story (yet again: it's what DC is famous notorious for). OTOH, I'm disturbed you found the characterizations so flat. On the gripping hand, again, that's DC for ya. Their superheroes are still largely stuck in the (dimensionally monochrome) 50's, while Marvel heroes are and always have been much more nuanced and...human. So I'm not surprised.
Well, my wait will be over tomorrow. More after....
