Even if we keep aside the allegrological implications, this is a pretty entertaining movie with Snyder's stylization and his trademark production value at the forefront.
I have kept a blank slate without any hopes or expectations, and I'll admit I am surprised. The action was engaging, and the storytelling was inventive, but it never takes itself too seriously and confuses its viewers and it rather straightens things up by the end.
The protagonists are likeable, and the slew of antagonists (particularly, Oscar Isaac) play their parts well. Had the editing been crisper and those 'dream sequences' (I think those can be deemed as dream sequences, correct me if I'm wrong) provided more in terms of their visual flair, I would have been more glad.
Regardless, it is recommended, especially to those who crave 'Women Empowerment' in a different form and shape.
