The 135L is excellent, after looking around the internet for 2 months I found that it was on the list of many wedding photographers as one of the primes they take along.  I have used it to shoot a fashion show and a bunch of portraits in different situations.  The 70-200 f2.8 IS II is quite popular for weddings as the flexibility it provides is excellent with the trade off of weight and being slight slower than primes.  Generally the zoom is considered as sharp as a prime and a "must have" for wedding photography (though some people shoot primes exclusively for this type of photography.

I would be shocked if you found a BAD review of the 135L, unless the reviewer has never actually used one.
