Is it flawed? Sure. But what movie isn't. We should be glad that we were given the chance to watch a superhero movie that doesn't follow the same old formula, which in my opinion is getting quite repetitive, and is something different both in tone and story. The fact that the movie reminded me of Batman TAS and Superman TAS is definitely a plus.

Let's start with the performances, everyone from the main cast to the supporting worked well, the stand out being Ben Affleck. Not only did he prove the haters wrong, but he brought something new to the role. For once you actually fear the Batman. Cavill was good as well, and you could really feel his pain of being an outsider (which is continued from Man of Steel). Amy Adams was much better this time around in her role as Lois Lane, and she again reminded me of Superman TAS. Jeremy Irons was obviously great as Alfred. Gadot in my opinion was alright as Wonder Woman, I guess we need to see more from her. Now let's come to Lex Luthor... instead of feeling like a man of grace and one that you should fear, Lex feels like a wannabe Joker, it felt like Jesse was playing a cartoon cartoon and it is quite clear that he needed a paycheck. But if you ignore the character's roots, he is a decent enough villain even if you would like to punch him every time he's on screen.

The pacing although not great, was not terrible either. It was quite noticeable that a few scenes were cut in between and maybe the R-rated cut should help with the movie's flow. There were also quite a few choices made by the filmmaker that would anger quite a few fans. But this is something to be expected from Zack Snyder.

Overall the movie was quite enjoyable, it had some really amazing parts and some that you would outright hate. But these parts really didn't ruin the experience for me, because at the end of the day it is someone else's interpretation of these heroes. I'm just glad that we were able to watch these two iconic heroes on the screen together.

This is my own opinion and you should make your own. Watch the movie if you are interested but don't let the critics have an effect on your viewing experience because it definitely isn't the abomination that some would like you to believe. Although far from a perfect superhero experience, it is in my opinion better than quite a few thing that we have seen before. Maybe in the next couple of years, people might appreciate it more.

A epic almost grand opera, this film is a visual spectacle and if your a fan of DC or any comic book films you will love it and get very hyped for the DC universe.

I will say there are some randoms cuts in the film that kinda mess up the flow but it almost feels like a literal comic book brought to life.

Just go watch it for yourself, personally the critics are way too harsh on this film and both fans and audiences are loving it so far. It's easily as good as Age of Ultron if not better. Setting up a whole universe in 1 film was no easy task, but i think Snyder & DC have done it albeit not perfectly but I'm very excited for the future.

Great start for DC Extended Universe. If you like the visual style of Zack Snyder and dark atmosphere of DC comics (especially Batman: The Dark Knight Returns), then you will like this movie.

As someone who was very against the idea of this movie and against batfleck..... I loved the movie. I thought Affleck did great. i LOVED gal gadot as wonder woman. the way they introduced the other members of the justice league I thought was really well done. It was ALMOST too many things in one movie but it ended up just balancing that line and then fortunately the movie ended. But I think for me the idea of this super jaded 20 year old vet of a Batman was just great. The take they did with him I thought was brilliant. I know alot of people probably wont like the take on Lex Luthor either but I really enjoyed this version of a Brilliant nutjob Billionaire scientist over the calm and collected usual Lex. I am a diehard Marvel guy but this movie I think beat Age of Ultron (which is heartbreaking for me cause im in love with Iron Man/RDJ) and I think will be better than Civil War as well unfortunately. Yes the movie had some issues but it isnt life shattering issues like people are making it out to be. People are just hating on it because it didnt follow exact comic books or "batman was too mean" or whatever you want to say. I liked the takes on the film alot. And i wanted to stand up and APPLAUD the freaking movie in the first 10 mins when one of the BIGGEST issues I had with Man of Steel was basically addressed right in the beginning of the film and was something that was vocalized and analyzed throughout the film which I thought was great.

Zack Snyder has a style of film that not all critics appreciate and that sometimes does not allow them to review his films fairly. So my advice to anyone who wants to see it, then go and make up your own mind about it.

Spoiler free mini review:

THE GOOD:
Ben Affleck is quite easily the best live-action Batman.
So is Jeremy Irons as Alfred.
Gal Gadot did wonders with what little screen time she had.
Great fight scenes.
Excellent cinematography. Simply put it's visually spectacular.
Excellent beginning.
Unpredictable ending.
Hans Zimmer's score.

THE BAD:
It's a rushed setup film for the Justice League, so it's crammed with too many plots/sub-plots.
Bad editing, disjointed scenes (once again due to too many plots)
Main antagonist's motives are unclear.
Some minor plot holes.
Slow middle.
Unnecessary cameo from one particular superhero (could have been a simple end credit scene).

THE UGLY:
Doomsday...he's just a really ugly cgi monster.

In short: It's no masterpiece and there are certainly much better superhero films out there but it isn't a terrible film by any means.

Rating: 7/10

Henry Cavill is a beautiful, noble, and this time suffering Superman. And Gal Gadot as Diana/Wonder Woman is a star-making performance. Her involvement in the plot and entrance in the final act really set the stage for what is to come in her solo movie and in Justice League. Expand

I know many feel differently so I have come to the conclusion we live in a time people have the attention span of goldfish and if its not a quip every 5 seconds for an hour and a half they will not like it. Deadpool is a perfect example of this. Marvel appeals to the masses because people today want a simple funny movie they don't have to feel nor think about too deeply. Sad this is what movies have come to.

The let down though is the directing. Why so many dream sequences!!?? There where so many long boring scenes that kids in the audience got bored and started chatting among themselves. As for the overall story? I didn't mind the darker view of Batman. Overall it is a good watch although you are going to wish for a remote to fast forward some scenes. Expand

If you are familiar with comics, it is very consistent with DC Comics and DC animated, you just have to view it as a new story line. It's nothing like a Marvel CU movie(which are usually good popcorn flicks for all the family). In fact, this film is unlike any movie I have ever seen before. Though different, it's a marvel to behold(pun intended).

The theatrical studio cut is a downer but knowing there will be director's cut blue-ray makes up for it.

It has a slow burn start but then gets going at a lightning pace. It can hard to keep track of all the subplots and the characters psychologies are looked at by dream analysis. That is an interesting way to look at who they are deep down. However it may be too subtle for some. That shouldn't take away from the overall experience.
All in all it's another work of art from Snyder.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very Mild Spoilers. I clicked the box just to be sure.

I was so happy I got to see this film. As a fan of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman ever since I was a 8 years old, I was hooked in immediately. This film was made for us DC comic geeks. There were more Easter Eggs than I could count. The characters were well cast, and the action was solid. The shots and cinematography was absolutely stunning. Was it perfect? No. No move is. Even films like The Wrath of Khan have issues. It happens. It was very complex, but I didn't feel it was to the point of being bloated. It was fun, but still dark. It had a sad tone, which I feel may have put people off who are used to lighter, more family-friendly comic book movies.

The cameos to the other Justice League members were brief, but handled well. The Flash appearing through the Speed Force was brilliant. Wonder Woman was powerful. Ben Affleck is THE Batman of a generation, and Henry Cavil was great. The movie tried to balance the personal lives of the heroes with the suited lives, and for the most part, it succeeded. A hyper ambitious film made for adults who love adult themed comic stories.

Most of all, I loved how both Batman and Superman showed forgiveness and mercy towards one another in their fight. There was a moment when they could have easily killed each other, and something stopped them. That's what we all as fans wanted to see.

Thanks so much to Snyder & Co. You pleased this fan greatly! Going to see it again soon!

Batman and Lex stole the show away from a once again bored looking Henry Cavill. Despite some stumbles at the beginning and end, you'll walk away entertained, if only for the fight scenes that Batman actually gets to take part in.

This is a great DC Universe film and the cast are, for the most part, excellent. The only character that didn't work was Lex but apart from that everyone was great. Sure the pacing stuttered in places, the dialogue was poor in others and the end section dragged (for me) but generally I was entertained and enjoyed the film.

Ben Affleck is the definitive screen Batman for me. His size, tone and approach were spot on.

I'm looking forward to the next one.

Alright...I will try and keep the review as non biased as possible.
First off, the movie is not perfect in any way possible. This was a SIX hour movie compressed into 2.5 hours and the final scene was completely shoehorned (doomsday Thing). That being said, the first part of the movie was pretty much perfect.

Things I loved about the movie.
1. All things to do with batman.
2. Wonder Woman was pretty kickass.
3. I actually enjoyed the lex luthor take of the movie.
4. The visuals are freaking awesome.
5. The flash coming in was really fun too.
6. The superman doing good montage was really awesome.

Things that I wish they had done differently
1. should have made the movie longer. although the movie juggled too many plot lines, none of them were seen to fruition.
2. The movie made the dangerous assumption of thinking that all the moviegoers will understand all the subplots which are dropped in the movie. Now I had no problem since i am familiar with the comic book lore; but on the other hand, I had to constantly explain these things to my clueless friends.

Things that I did not like about the movie at all
1. The editing and cutting is not good. (Hoping to god that the extended version will do some good) .
2. Anything related to the metro news plot.
3. Doomsday.

All in all..... if you are a casual movie goer, you will have a decent time; If you are going in just to pass your time, you might end up not liking the movie; But if you are a fan and actually know the comic lore, you will love it.

Hope this review Helps.

Prepare for the epic and biggest boxing match of history, featuring America's two greatest heroes now turned foes, who will clash against each other, for 6 minutes and then become best friends. I've waited 3 full years for this film toPrepare for the epic and biggest boxing match of history, featuring America's two greatest heroes now turned foes, who will clash against each other, for 6 minutes and then become best friends. I've waited 3 full years for this film to arrive, I was so excited, so hyped for this film and when it ended, well It's very sad for me to say, I was kinda disappointed... But let's start with the positive here : first, Batffleck is the best batman ever. He is raw, dark, violent, gritty and he seriously doesn't give a sh** anymore. Everything about him in the movie is A+++. Superman for his part is pretty good, Cavill did a good job, a better one than in MoS in my opinion, he delivers as you can expect and the fight between him and the bat (the only one) is incredible, it literally is fanboy fap material. Alfred is also very good and badass, as well as Perry and Lois Lane is also decent. Now for the negative part : it is not Batman v Superman, let's be honest its a trailer for Justice League. There is no actual plot or mission or quest in the movie, its pretty much random scenes involving short fragment of stories that would deserve a whole 2 hours film for themselves. The movie is very incoherent and discombobulated, it doesn't feel like a whole story in which you get involved. Its just random clips that doesn't really tie in together. For the character of Lex Luthor, he is not very good, he is exactly what you saw in the trailer but for nearly 3 hours... And the ending is... okay I guess? I mean it's a big CGI action fest with a big CGI thing that doesn't look and act anything like the real Doomsday... To conclude, the movie is the second trailer. What you saw in there and you thought would represent the film, you were 100% right. It's not necessarily bad, Batman did look phenomenal in it, as well as superman, the fight between them was incredible and I like me some good ol' CGI epic action from time to time. Expand

Onto the movie. I does have a little bit of hollowness to it at times, and I would say this might come in part because we haven't seen Ben Affleck just be Batman yet, so it's hard to come around to that fact. Once you get past that, the movie kinda forces some scenes.

Zack Snyder's comic book movies feel like they make fidelity to the source material a priority and that they're made by people who read and appreciate the material from which they're based. I would describe BvS in this way; imagine if someone made a movie of Superman and the Legion of Superheroes (Action Comics #858-863) and tried to stay as close to the material as possible. That movie, I think, would kind of move and feel the same way BvS does. There are moments when the movie moves fast, others when it slows down, but they all build on each other and in the end we're left with human characters and their frailties. There's a Batman on a crusade who must face his own demons at a really tense moment in the film. A Wonder Woman who has been fighting the good fight for a long time and has her own back story and raison d'etre. And a Superman who struggles to do the right thing and sometimes can't manage to. They come together in the final battle and it's pretty awesome. I don't usually enjoy comic book movies, but I find Snyder's films enjoyable. I can't wait to get it on Blu Ray. Expand

I will do what professors do -- start off by giving the movie the full score of 10/10, and then deduct points mistake by mistake.

- First of all, it's not true that the movie is overcrowded. It has just the right amount of players. But it IS disjointed. There are quite a few scenes that have no business with the story, and they are painfully obvious. All those flashbacks, flashforwards, and such -- the movie would have been better without them. It grabs you by the ears, pulls you up, and screams in your face, "I AM A SET UP." So I deduct 1 point for that.

- Batman. While Afleck's performance is great, and he looks great, they didn't get the character of Batman right. He is a murderer and a moron. He has no problem mowing people down like grass from the Batwing's machine guns, and he allows Luthor to lead him on like a dog. He is supposed to be one of the smartest people in the world. This is a big problem, so I deduct 2 points.

- I was debating whether I should deduct any for Cavill's Superman. I said long ago, that he better be inspiring hope in this one. And....well he kinda does. While he looks great and we see him go out of his way to save people, he still has that angry/frowny face on when he is in the suit. And it's a shame because we know that Cavill is very charming. I'm convinced that Snyder told him not to smile whenever he is in the suit. However, I can somewhat understand -- after all, the faith and hate of the entire world are on his shoulders. That gotta bring even the most cheerful guy down. So I'm not deducting.

- Eisenberg's Luthor...I honestly can't speak for him. Yes, he definitely plays himself here. And I know that for many, that will be a huge miscast. But personally, I don't know if Eisenberg's quirky Luthor is not the right kind of Luthor. So, I'll leave it up in the air.

- All other actors did a great job at their respectful roles.

Those are my main impressions of BvS. It's a mess of a movie, but it's a glorious spectacle. 7/10

See this for yourself, do not listen to the critics. Its made for fans. Not for those 50 opinions destroying it right now. I don't love Zack snyder for polarising the critics, i almost wish he could create something in spite of himself so that it gets high praise and everyone will shut up.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok so I just got finished watching the flick, and honestly unless you're a winny critic and an actual superhero fan you'll be pleased to know that this movie follows in a great way the comic characters IN WHICH THEY'RE BASED, I read that most "professional reviewers" wouldn't enjoy the the flick because it "was a setup for what's to come" and honestly I felt completely different, yes don't get me wrong they introduce characters like Aquaman, Flash(by the way both of his cameos was amazingly well managed), Cyborg, but as I just mentioned THEY'RE ONLY CAMEOS so yeah that covers my rant about how some people are not fairly criticising the film ,now into the REAL MOVIE, I loved how they managed the whole "Batman Origins in 5 quick minutes" and how they went straight into the action showing how 20 years changed Batman into a more "Break your whole body if you commit crimes" plus the whole "if your were bad I'm going to brand you with a bat symbol so that you get killed in prison system" so you know he's a more different take(in one point you could say collateral damage caused by him got bad guys killed) so yeah I liked this new incarnation of Batman, even thought he sometimes killed... Now Superman... Well I liked how now he's managing the whole Clark Kent and Superman and the same time plus LEX LUTHOR JR. who Jesse Eissenberg did a great job at handling the whole psycho/not psycho situation, now into the fight of fights, well they did a great job(Batman won in a very cheap kryptonite way in my opinion) but at least THERE WAS A WINNER and well at least for me Doomsday looked amazing! Oh and Gal Gadot as WW WAS SIMPLY AWESOME, so yeah if you like comics(DC specially) I highly recommend go seeing this movie and don't worry Superman's just in a coma a kryptonian one *wink* *wink* I give this flick a solid 9/10 Expand

Dark, Gritty, and Spectacular.

If you are going into this movie to see some brightly dressed action heroes fight together and crack some comedic lines to ease the tension, you'll be disappointed. THIS IS A COMIC BOOK MOVIE FOR ADULTS. The stakes in this story are overwhelming massive compared to any other superhero films that have come before it. Serious plot devices are incorporated and the violence of combat is NOT glorified or glossed over. Actions have consequences.

The fight scenes, alone, are worth going to see this film on the big screen. The choreography is fluid, hypnotizing, and brutal. The way each action scene is filmed and cut together also propels them into being draw dropping experiences. However, each of the fights have massive amounts of motivation behind them, so you'll never feel like characters are fighting just for the sake of it. The intensity of the world is established along with the costs of violence are established early on.

The story is brilliant and takes unexpected twists and turns. I will not spoil anything here, but it implements certain plot points from glorified comic books as well as new and exciting plot points to make the movie unique and unpredictable in its own right.

Cinematography and music are exceptional. If director Zack Snyder is known for one thing, it is his amazing talent of organizing and framing shots in order to tell a truly visual and breath-taking story. He succeeds in this once again with flying colors. Music by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL also offer very memorable tunes that will allow you to feel the energy or emotional of any scene.

Finally, Ben Affleck is the most intense, brutal, and emotionally tormented batman ever put to screen. Gal Gadot offers an interesting look into Wonder Woman, although, thankfully, she is only used when she is needed to the story. Henry Cavill offers a similar performance for Superman as we saw of him in Man of Steel, however this particular film offers a far greater deal of emotional struggles for him to really sink his teeth into and impress. The other supporting characters give solid performances, however one might be shocked or disappointed if they are expecting "copied and pasted" versions of the characters from the comic books to be in the film. For example Lex Luthor has been completely reinvented as the villain, but is used very effectively in the story. You'll love to hate him, which is good.

My final thoughts for anyone who is thinking about seeing the film...GO SEE IT AND FORM YOUR OWN OPINION. Most critic's criticisms spawn from the dark and "boring" nature of the story told. It is not boring. It is a dark story, but critics should know that a dark story doesn't mean the film can't be enjoyed. It's unique and still a spectacle of cinema that doesn't come around very often. You've never seen a comic book movie like this, trust me. Go see it if you're interested!!!

i like it. i bring my wife and my friend to see it. and overall like it. 7/10. one of my friend even gave it 8.5/10 and he kind a man who like oldies and classic film.
BvS is a very much DC story. It is an ambitious project --> bring live action superheroes with grounded feeling/story, taking our world issues/problems/views about superheroes to the film, merge it with many many comics/story, making them felt as real as possible... but without leaving how cartoonish superheroes concept really are. For that i gave WB/DC, especially Zack a thumb up.
but this movie also has problems. the main problem are probably bcoz this movies actually are 2 main story. As its felt that the highlight of this story is coming from TDK frank miller and Doomsday related story by Dan Jurgens (i won't say the name of the title). there are too many element here that drag audience's focus from here to there and to another place and etc...etc... I meant Zack present the background story material in the movie but it seem to be failed to be delivered to the audience very well.

so bottom line... yeah, the movie is not perfect. the story is too ambitious. the style is probably not too popular. but it surely fun to watch. You have to see it to experience it.

Overall I had some fun with the film but has much room for improvement

The second trailer only had one minor spoiler, otherwise there will be some good unexpected moments, Ben affleck was good as batman, some would argue is the best batman so far; alfred was nice also; wonder woman and lex luthor played their roles outstandingly; although henry cavill could improve for his next movies.

The best way I describe Batman v Superman is, it's a congested beautiful mess. There are several problems with editing and with the direction of the overall movie.......
However, the third act of the movie was one of the most entertaining things I've seen in the last 10 years.
Ben Affleck was terrific. Literally. His Bruce Wayne/Batman was the best thing bout this movie by far. I literally clapped after one scene in particular. I thought to myself "That's **** Batman". And the way that Alfred is used is tremendous. I am all about having this version of Batman get his own movie/movies.
Other things I liked: Jesse Eisenberg. This Lex Luthor will be either liked or hated, but his performance was tremendous. He went for it and I believed him. The transition of his character was very good. However,
I thought Cavil was great as Superman. Amy Adams was great as usual as well.
There are some major flaws. Some of the subplots were either not needed or just bad. The editing was bad. I don't know how a movie with this budget gets that badly edited. Some of the scenes drag and some of the scenes are very random. The story itself though was good but just needed a better director and editor.
Overall, I recommend experience this. It's not a great movie by any means, but it's a really cool experience. The Batman stuff is worth it alone.

There is time and pacing involved heavily with it. BvS adopts a unique style to pit the iconic characters against each other. The premise comes to its senses when the action unfolds. This is where Snyder has accomplished his feat. The same reason why the movie works for me as the title. The first hour that complements to this development is one of the USP followed by the last act. It's looks unconventional when we see the characters getting involved in the climactic act. But what mattered is how Snyder brought on the aesthetic appeal for comic book fans with the intense action. Wonderwoman should have have add more segments but she does a real good job and becomes the 2nd USP in this movie. If there would be a positive word of mouth, it'd certainly be Wonderwoman centric. Eisenberg deserves a little praise for his skills on Lex Luthor portrayal. Lois Lane should have been used more effectively as a character. The only issue I felt was her timing in the action sequences that kept appearing as a distraction because I demanded immediate action. Overall as a comic book fan, I've been satisfied. I believe if DCEU needs to stand apart, they need to just improvise on this unique style. This could well be the trump card and a reason to stay on a different league than mainstream superhero movies. Expand

Batman V Superman is a cinematic tour de force.

The diegesis is grounded in an elegant flurry of dirty aesthetic and cinematic realism, with thematic and philosophical elements handled with the best ideation montage I have seen outside of the more experimental though less accessible niche art house film scene.

Though my opinion seems at odds with many critics, I think Zack Snyder has done a terrific job realising the world of Batman and Superman for the silver screen; an outstanding achievement by an accomplished and incredibly talented director. Thank you Snyder for your contribution to the DC Universe.

I look forward to the next instalment.

BvS is a fine example of Zach Snyder’s awful storytelling, but it’s an enjoyable (& messy) ride with many ups, downs but mostly: “meh-s”.

It’s a great ethical ride into the DC Universe with more perspective on the events that transpired in ‘Man of Steel’, and it does succeed to bring more development of the plot. It got a clever way to mislead our two main heroes, and the audience, to think that they are each others enemies. But the way the movie was crafted wasn’t that much of a clever move. It’s one overly long flick with way too many introductions of characters & their corresponding backgrounds. Ben Affleck shines, meanwhile the motivations of Batman himself and his doings is very questionable. It’s the same with some of the other characters; bad writing? The romance however is surprisingly adorable, but vaguely developed nor a better inside to their love is ever seen. The development of the characters is not to be undermined though; very genuine understanding of why and how events transpire is a constant trait.

Did Zach Snyder improve? Yes, but not nearly enough. BvS might lack severe plot holes as what MoS had, but instead it presented new problems of his direction. His never ending love for vague CGI and destruction is never going to go away. BvS started in a very mature, figurative & overall great way with even some political & “morality vs emotions”- moments. But then reality checked in, and Snyder delivered a stunning visual mess with an unnecessary third baddie and a meh-and-predictable ending. Still; it’s a superhero flick and for the fans I hope it’ll please with its groovy action. But how long can DC continue to fail so many of the existing audience, while only please a “small” majority? It might actually be Zach Snyder’s last, even though it does show promise to many out there, even for me to some degree.

Personal rating: 70/100
Critical rating: 50/100

It isn't anything like the tried-and-tested Marvel formula, but it isn't, as I've read elsewhere, "completely devoid of all amusement". Don't get me wrong, the tone of the movie is certainly dour, and if you're a fan of that (like me) you'll probably enjoy the movie, but it's not as joyless as Man of Steel was at times, another movie I enjoyed greatly. This movie is a spectacle, it's grand and loud, and by the final action sequence I truly felt like these characters were closer to Gods than most other big name superheros; the scale, while not massive in actuality, seemed immense befitting the characters involved.
It's not without its issues, and the common complaint of off-pacing is something I agree with. It's obvious that there's so much to deal with here that some plot-lines get axed, to be restored in the Director's Cut, but almost to the detriment of the subsequent scenes, which seem to come from nowhere. These segments are few and far between, and they certainly didn't greatly impact my experience watching the movie, but they were noticeable.

Overall I feel like Snyder (who's not a director I can claim to have a great love for) did a pretty great job with fitting all the numerous pieces of this movie together into an action packed, enjoyable story with a solid cast, great visuals, and a reverence for the icons it sports. These are not the same Batman and Superman we've seen over the years, and I'm O.K. with that. Variety is the spice of life after all.

In every capacity it succeeds to deliver on the promise of a super hero movie. Despite the general slamming of this movie's pacing it is never over-saturated with action or bogged down in the ethics and questions that super heroes would provoke in real life (a subject it deals with in an entertaining, still though provoking way). While some might say this movie has a scatter brained approach to editing and the flow of the plentiful plot lines found in the movie, I say it simply has no time or care for drawn out scenes. It gets done what three Hunger Games movies get done in one movie. Nothing feels rushed, and this is a testament to the understanding of engagement held in this movie's direction. Many have criticized it as sequel bait, but these scenes never interrupt the movie. Instead these references to the future and the past give history and weight to the world not seen in an average super hero movie. Special nod goes to this movies consistent color palette and thematic tone as well. This movie has great production value something which seems unnoticed by most critics today. Don't listen to the critics and give the movie a shot if you are a fan of epic super hero movies Expand

Cavill is superb as Supes, a paragon of earnest nobility struggling against a messy and fallen world, and Affleck is simply a revelation as the Dark Knight. For my money his performance here is the best the character has ever been protrayed: genuinely frightening and intimidating, motivated by ungovernable rage.

The critics are dumb, and people who throw around words like "grimdark" are just allegic to actual drama and tension (they want movies to all be cheesy mind-numbing sitcoms where the throwaway CGI villain gets dispensed with in between dorky one-liners). BvS is one of very few superhero movies that actually succeeds as gripping cinema, not just as a lowest-common-denominator summer tentpole.

daddy snyder is the best director ever, the movie isnt shallow like most superheroes films, it has a meaning behind it, lex is a great villain, the cgi is pretty good, and the martha scene makes 100% sense

Just re watched the ultimate cut of this film and enjoyed it. Who ever thought it would be okay to cut out 30 minutes of the film for theatrical showings should be fired.

Zack Snyder's beautiful visual story telling is on full display, deriving from a realistic and gritty perspective, on how the world would view these heroes. My favorite moments from this film are;

1) Opening sequence of the Wayne's dying 2) Fall of Metropolis from Bruce Wayne's perspective 3) Gods among us scene

4) Lex Luthor helicopter scene with Superman

5) Bruce & Diana's first interaction with each other

6) The warehouse scene is the greatest Batman fight sequence to grace cinema

7) First interaction between Clark & Bruce at Lex's party 8) Wonder Woman saving Batman

My criticisms for this film are;

1) This film was over stuffed, clearly looking to set up multiple DC films, instead of staying true to its self

2) They should have split the film in 2 parts, for e.g. Batman & Superman Part One & Two

3) In regards to the scene where Superman & Batman meet for the first time on the batmobile, I would have liked to seen more back and forth dialogue showcasing their conflicting ideologies

4) I would have liked to seen a different resolution between the heroes, the Martha scene didn't cut it for me.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seriously underrated movie. Zack Snyder delivers a film that is both ambitious and emotional. Yes, although it's 2 and half hours long it still feels rushed, this just had too many boxes to check, it had to be a sequel for Man of Steel, introduce a new Batman and the first ever Wonder Woman on film, all that while foreshadowing the Justice League flick.

All that aside, the construction of the conflict in the title is really well done, Batman's reasons are pretty reasonable, but that's not all, he feels emasculated, old, weak, he's trying to prove himself too, when fighting the world's strongest creature.
The reaction of the world to Superman is also great, in such divisive times even Superman is divisive. He can't be that beacon of peace and justice he was, because this is not the world for that beacon, not yet.

Finally, the death of Superman. That was a really bold move and beautifully executed, that was the only way Superman could become the symbol of hope he aimed to be, while alive he would always be the alien, the overpowered god. Dead he can be a symbol.
So yes, the movie has flaws, some of them because the studio chopped this film to death, some of them because Snyder wanted to make three films in one, but the overall result is a great movie with interesting personal and ideological conflicts. While Henry Cavil is not a really good actor he manages to bring his naive and confuse Superman to life and Ben Affleck does a great job with this enraged Batman. Supporting cast, though, has great moments, specially from Jesse Eisenberg's mad Luthor and Jeremy Irons' Alfred.

A movie to be praised for shattering too many expectations in a genre that got too predictable after the MCU.

Comapre to The Theatrical version This is Literally a Masterpiece!
The Technical aspects the zack's style and theme specially the batman's dark and slowmotioned scenes of past they were epic. The music was Art the epicness and calmness was amazing to hear, The story was considerebly better and the missing parts from the original cut clearly covers alot things to make this movie Amazing, The 1st half's buildup and politics and the 2nd half's fights it was awesome, The original cut lacks the buildup of certain scenes this version makes some moments fleshedout amazingly with that, the Use of Lex Luthor in this cut is brilliant compare to the original where he felt like a side character,In this Version his motivations and toying with both superman and batman was amazing and the acting was meancingly awesome, the hate game between both superman and batman and lex luthor firing the shots at them and overall Politics stuff from start until the court room scene was awesome and the blast felt impact in this cut. The justice league build up in 2nd half and the jail sequence of Lex with Bat it was literally Class The music with the painting of devil it was literally awesome. The ending was usual to original cut but the Overall feeling of the Movie is Changed alot it felt Epic and Awesome.

A lot of viewers including myself didn't like it at the first time viewing it.
But even back then I would give this a 6.

However, once you clear you mind and watch it with a neutral mindset, I think BvS has successfully balance the realistic and deep story telling & original comic recreation.
This I don't think even MCU had successfully found the balance.
Having this depth of a plot while telling the comic's story is not an easy task.

BvS is flawed, but I think it is a great try for making comic characters feel ALIVE, REAL, RELATABLE.
Watching Man of Steel and BvS together will makes you feel like these are the superhero movies we should have been getting all these time.

The pacing was a little slow however this didn't take away anything from the grandeur of the matter at hand. Thor was my favourite superhero film until now. I left the cinema wanting more and the hints of future DC movies to come show great promise. DC seems much darker than Marvel comics and this comes across in this film. I thought Affleck's Batman is the superior of all. He looks like and acts like both sides of his life. The concerns people had for him are removed. For me, Wonder Woman was the final mark from 9 to 10. Her display of power and fighting ability made my day. So epic. If watched with an open mind and enjoyed for the right reasons this will be an amazing experience. This film came with much expectation and it passed the test for me. It has all the qualities you'd want in a superhero story. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman V Superman is definitely a different type of superhero movie than those that have been released recently, as it feels directly lifted from multiple comic books, that were carefully laid out, and then throw into a blender. The movie takes place before, during, and for the most part, after the events of director Zack Snyder’s previous foray in the superhero genre, Man of Steel. I can say, if you did like Man of Steel, you will most likely like this movie as the tone is very similar, if not a little darker, but it does not feel nearly as bleak and hopeless as its predecessor, but that is not to say that the movie is infused with much joy either.

It is nice to say after what was years of the internet’s dread, the acting was fairly spot on. Henry Cavill maintains his role of Superman, and I’ve got to say I do like the way they present Superman as a whole. Not as some all-knowing God type figure, but as a misfit alien who can do almost anything, except be human. Ben Affleck makes an incredible Batman, somewhat akin to the Arkham series of games, my only complaint being is it seems they went for a very Frank Miller inspired Batman, as he flat-out murders people in a few scenes in the Batmobile and Batwing, but this does seem to be the basis of his conflict with Superman, which is ultimately remedied in the end. Gal Gadot, likewise made a very fascinating Wonder Woman, even though she did not have much screen time until the end of the film. I am still somewhat on the fence about Jesse Eisenberg’s casting as Lex Luthor, for those of you hoping he would be the sinister, and imposing Lex Luthor that has been common place in DC’s animated movies and cartoons, he is not. I can say, however, that he does do a very good job in his role, being much more strangely upbeat but ultimately psychotic. The movie does have a scene showing Luthor being imprisoned, head shaved, and locked away, so there is hope that he may become much more daunting like the Luthor many are accustomed to.

The story overall is a mixed bag, but it works, it feels very much like an animated DC film brought to life. That is, however, not entirely perfect. As I mentioned prior, the movie lacks any sort of joy, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I get that is what DC is going for but when the only emotion being portrayed on screen is brooding, it feels a little bland. The story also feels somewhat nonsensical at certain points, namely in the beginning, when it feels like they couldn’t choose which of five different intros for the film, so they just threw them all in at random. Those complains aside however, the story does work, some of it may be somewhat of a slog, but the parts that are not are absolutely exhilarating. The action scenes are visceral and intense, Batman completely demolishing a group of thugs in particular was incredible, as was watching Batman and Superman duke it out, but both were overshadowed by how epic the final showdown with Doomsday was. Witnessing the trio (Trio is generous to say, Batman just kind of watched and ate popcorn with the crowd in the movie theater) come to blows with Doomsday was phenomenal. From a fairly geeky standpoint, it was cool to see Snyder and his crew incorporate Doomsdays evolutionary features, and watching in vein as Superman, Wonderwoman, and the US government attempted to slay him, only to make him stronger. Ultimately the battle ends by taking a page from one of the more well-known Superman comics, Death of Superman, which doesn’t really leave much up to the imagination in what happens. The final moments take place at Clark’s funeral with Bruce speaking to Diana (Wonderwoman) telling her they need to find the other meta-humans. Which ultimately perpetuates what this movie is actually about, it is a two-and-a-half-hour hype trailer for the Justice League movie.
In all, this movie is not perfect, the story and lack of emotion can sometimes make it feel like a grind. On the other spectrum, the action, acting, and awe of seeing Batman, Superman, and Wonderwoman kickass alongside one another on the big-screen work heavily it its favor. So, if you are looking for a light-hearted superhero movie, or even just hoping for DC’s successor to “The Dark Knight” you will not find it here, this is not that movie. What you will find, is a gripping tale of multiple comic books woven together, and brought into real life with a solid cast, convoluted but good story that create the groundwork for a potentially incredible series of films to come.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A spectacular epic journey into the emerging world of DC Comics! Great special effects and acting. Although this movie was great it did have it's flaws but it wasn't in the story but the editing and pacing. It started off really good in both story and pacing, then the pace slowed down and the stories and editing got erratic, and then it picked up and went all out action! I have always been a fan of Zach Snyder but this time his use of colorless cameras and erratic editing really ruined what could have been both a fan's and critic's masterpiece. Anyone who gives this movie a zero or one is just a DC hater and not a real film fan. Ben Affleck is the Batman we have been waiting for and Gal Gadot was great as Wonder Woman. This was the perfect set up for the Justice League and the DCEU. The way the movie introduced Aqua-man, the Flash, and Cyborg was genius and have me wanting more, luckily Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman will give us a chance to see this new DCEU without being under Zach Snyder's directing. Here's hoping Snyder really takes his criticisms to heart (not all of them are legit but some are) and really does something to improve his films. I know these films are supposed to be dark and gloomy but enough with the special lenses and dull picture. WHy can't we have a nice crisp but dark tone for these types of movies? The battles between Batman and Superman and between Doomsday and the Trinity was some of the best action in any movies I've seen, worth the price of admission. You just have to slog through the middle 45 minutes or so to get from the beginning to that point. People compare these movies to Marvel but that is not a fair comparison. DC has the guts to take their characters to places that Marvel won't dare to go. Sure it hurts in the box office, but there has to be a middle ground to make it work and I am not sure if Zach Snyder is the man to do it. Overall a very good movie, both is story and action. I give it a nine ouf of 10 because the action scenes, acting, and overall story outweigh the bad editing and color problems. I suggest someone go see it twice to really enjoy what could have been the greatest superhero movie of all time! Maybe the Blu-ray edition will correct some of these problems, probably not but I can still wish. Expand

After all that is what super hero movies are about right? Hope againstNot every super hero has to be a happy go lucky marvel movie. They don't all need to be aimed at a younger audience. However, all super hero movies need hope in some form. After all that is what super hero movies are about right? Hope against all odds, determination in the face of evil, and of course the good of mankind conquering the evil. Well BvS lacks all of these. Instead it is a heavy handed, melodramatic, depressing film. You will not leave in a good mood
The good
- Awesome action sequences. Epic in scale and shot very well.
-Ben Aflek NAILED the batman role, more so than any other batman I have seen
-The dark setting and overall "bad mood" of the movie makes for something that differs from the typical super hero experience
-Wonder Woman is great- arguably the best part
-Good premise and certainly pulled off well enough

The bad
-Too dark for most viewers. BvS is relentless in its onslaught of hopelessness, destruction, and cruelty. The whole movie is one dark cloud, and just when you think the sun will shine through- it gets darker.
-Superman (Henry Cavil) tries to bring superman to life but the character feels lifeless and boring
-Not enough action
-In between the action is emotionally heavy scenes pushing motivations along at a feverish pace. The story and motivations do not unfold naturally, instead they seemed to be pushed into the final places for the big third act
-Jesse Eisenberg really tries hard to be a good Lex Luther. Almost seemed to resemble the craziness of Heath Ledger's Joker. However, the writing failed him. Lex in this film is a crazy unhinged sociopath and not a brilliant criminal mastermind. He never gives us a threatening vibe. Instead he just seems like a crazy person with weird motivations. There isn't a strong reason behind his actions, what he does is so out of place it can be a bit jarring. Overall Disappointing.

Final verdict: BvS is too well made to be a total train wreck. It boasts strong action sequences, some great characters, and a good overall premise. However it's dark and heavy handed nature pushes characters along unnaturally and dampens the mood on what is otherwise a thrilling spectacle of a film. 7/10
