That's a very fair point about Vietnam/60s music. Depending on the historical event being depicted onscreen, it's an admittedly cheap way of tying the fiction to the reality, but I think for the average movie goer it's a very effective and powerful one.

I was fine with the style of the violence (although it was very confronting), I just wish they'd made Night Owl and Silk Spectre more restrained - disabling or knocking out criminals rather than tearing them to ribbons, and doing with with just a little more effort required and not reveling in it quite so much.

I recall you saying in your post that by the end of the film you felt like any one of them could catch a bullet if they wanted to, and that's a good point.
