This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been given the honor of writing our very first review here at Nerds with Mics. What is surely to be one of the biggest movies of 2016 and a firm staple in the world of nerd culture, I went to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Before seeing the movie I decided to read some reviews online like I always do, and I noticed there was a very common theme: most of them were negative reviews. Regardless, I always go into a movie with no expectations and make a judgement on my own. The movie starts off by reminding us how Bruce Wayne’s parents were killed and then finding a boy falling into a well where he finds his love for bats. At first I thought to myself how stupid is this, because we all know how Bruce Wayne becomes Batman and what drives him to fight crime. The reason for this is made clear with the scene that follows, because it then shows why Batman grows to hate Superman because of the events that took place in Metropolis during the last movie, Man of Steel. The way the two stories were tied together worked really well (Wayne Enterprising being destroyed, killing hundreds of people during the fight between Superman and General Zod).

After they caught everyone up on what Batman and Superman have been doing for the last 2 years, I was ready for the action to get underway. There were simply no surprises for me in this movie at all. The story during the middle just seemed to be all over the place and jumping in many directions. Jessie Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor seems to be played differently than in previous movies. At first I hated, hated, HATED the way this character was being portrayed but by the end of the movie, I felt like he had grown on me (after his last scene in the movie). Superman is fun to watch and Henry Cavill does an excellent job with this role once again. The one performance I was most impressed by and unexpectedly so, was Ben Affleck’s Batman. I feel that for the first time I’ve seen a character that is Bruce Wayne and Batman. In past Batman movies going all the way back to Michael Keaton, I’ve always thought whoever played Batman was either a really good Bruce Wayne or a really good Batman, but never both. Ben Affleck in my opinion is one of the best parts about this movie and it makes me want a standalone Batman movie starring Ben Affleck.

When I think about this movie, in a lot of ways in reminds me of what happened with Spider-Man 3. The movie features too many characters, similar to Spider-Man 3 (Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, Doomsday). With so many characters to focus on, the story loses a sense of purpose. With a weak script but a strong performance from two main stars, it left me with mixed feelings about the movie as a whole. The fight scene between Batman and Superman for me was the highlight of the movie and the downside was the Doomsday fight. I honestly feel like that movie would have been 10 times better to leave out Wonder Woman and Doomsday and just focused solo on Batman and Superman. If they wanted to have Doomsday in it then they should have lead up to the end with him and saved him for the next film. I would say Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is good but not great. Makes me wonder how much different this movie could have been if Christopher Nolan would have been heavily involved. In a world with Marvel is constantly raising the bar with superhero movies, DC has to find a way to come up with strong scripts and better storytelling for their strongest comic book characters. Oh, and a huge bummer to announce: there is no after credits scenes so don’t waste your time.… Expand

The acting in BVS were amazing, the bes ones were Ben Affleck and Jessie Eisenberg in my opinion. Henry Cavill is a good superman, but Affleck is the best batman to ever be on the silver screen. We did not get much Wonder Woman so I'm a little bit mixed on her, but the audience went nuts when she showed up. The action scenes may be the best I've ever seen in a movie. Based on my experience watching this movie I would give it a ten, but if I look on the quality of the movie the score is 8.
There are problems in this film. As a person who knows a little bit about Dc I got most of the references, but to person who knows nothing it may get a little bit confusing. Sometimes the editing was a little bit weird too.
I would say you should watch this movie multiple times in the theaters.… Expand

That being said, I feel that this film is getting a lot of unwarranted criticism. It's not the action romp that is most of the Marvel films. Which are all good in their own right. But DC has always been different from Marvel. Films are no different. DC, to me, has been more cryptic and character driven. This theme seems to resonate in BvS, and it works. It's the main story with an almost episodic feel with an over arching plot (setting up justice league). The reviews seem as if they're trying to directly compare it to what Marvel is doing. Which does not work as it is completely different.

My opinion? Different is great! It's a much more artistic take on a genre that some would call an over saturated market. This sentiment comes from a lot of the reviews I have read as well. With that comes the hate for Snyder either... He makes Comic Book Movies and he's great. His style is as close to a film version of reading a comic as you can get. Which is evident from all of his other projects as well.

This however is an opinion piece like all other reviews. You may like Snyder, or you may not. You might love this film, or hate it. Majority of critics all seem to hate it, but that majority of fan reviews so far seem to love it. This fan loves it.… Expand

I can understand why some critics didn't like it, most didn't understand why certain things were happening because the movie didn't waste time with exposition (a really good example probably being Doomsday and how he works). Some probably wouldn't even enjoy the comics this pulls from, and that is fine. I think it is also very obvious that some of the elements used for the dream sequences some have complained about are going to actually be event plot points in future movies to tie them closely together, in the same way comic books do.

So sure, as a film for someone that doesn't care about the comics or just doesn't know them well, they could hate watching the movie and be left very confused. That's fine. The studio let Synder make a movie for the fans of the comics, which is what he has been saying he wanted to do all along.

It certainly wasn't made in the Hollywood style so many critics seem to be asking for with all the cheap jokes and a tightly packaged happy ending for everyone involved. This isn't the 1978 Superman, and it certainly isn't the 1966 Batman. I understood what I was watching and enjoyed it a lot. It is a modern comic book as film, not a film reflecting a comic book franchise's characters.… Expand

I've read reviews that say there is no clear explanation as to whyI went into this movie with low expectations, I normally do not listen to reviews from critics anyways, but I felt like this movie has a lot of pressure on it to be great. I've read reviews that say there is no clear explanation as to why Batman doesn't trust Superman, believe me, it is absolutely clear once you see what Bruce Wayne witnesses from his perspective. There are also other factors that push him over the edge but I will not spoil anything. Speaking of Batman, Ben Affleck portrays a Batman like none we have ever seen, you hear in the trailers that he has spent 20+ years in Gotham and you see what 20 years does to the Batman. This has to be my favorite interpretation of Batman. As far as some critics saying Wonder Woman comes to save the day because the men cant handle it, she's definitely bad ass, but from what I saw she shows up as their equal. She obviously knows her stuff after having a century or more of military and combat training. Watching the three of them, I felt like I was watching a comic come to life, all three have their strengths and complemented each other well. I really feel this movie is not getting the credit it deserves, yes some parts seemed to jump around, but if you paid attention and know anything about the DC universe it will all make sense. Even my friend who went with me and knows nothing of DC comics, really enjoyed this movie, and he expected it to be awful. Yes I had to explain to him some of DC comic history after we left the theater, and once I did, he completely understood. All in all, if you're a fan of the DC universe, definitely give this movie a chance and ignore the negative reviews you're seeing. If you don't like it, that's fine, give it your own Meta score, like I said I read some reviews from these critics and didn't expect to like this movie. Half way through I thought to myself these critics have it all wrong. I'm really glad I went to see this movie and I will definitely be seeing it again.… Expand

Even for the casual super hero flick fan, it is atleast an 8 or a 9/10. BvS is a great build up to the Justice League. Ben Affleck's grim portrayal of Batman is topclass. The motivation behind the battle is well thought out. The gladiator match is truly epic. The teasers & Easter eggs are quite intelligently infused. There are certain scenes/dream sequences that will make you ponder about what lies ahead once you step out of the theatre. I am a Nolan Dark Knight trilogy fan and I feel Zack Snyder's magnum opus is worth experiencing. Both come from a different school of thought. Both are commendable in the scale they have reached. It is not about either or.

I would give it a solid 8.5 for fans of the comics, and probably a 7.5 to the average viewer who may not catch or understand all the nods to the source material. The amount of hate that this movie has received is infuriating to me, because it is turning into another Watchmen, which remains my favorite superhero movie of all time. BVS, like Watchmen, will likely be considered to be a misunderstood masterpiece, a film that expects the audience to think, feel, and be willing to understand a complex and nuanced narrative, with well-executed philosophical underpinnings and symbolism. The movie is one of the most accurate comic book movies out there, and the way it is shot and delivered makes you feel as if an amazing graphic novel is being translated to film. For some, this may feel jumpy and disorienting, but if you have ever read a comic, you can clearly see how the style of shooting and transitions is so true to the look and feel of actual comics, which is an achievement; we should respect the talent of the amazing Zack Snyder. This is something that the Marvel movies have failed to achieve, and are not interested in doing, which is fine. Another big problem is that people are comparing the movie to Marvel films, and that is not what this movie is. Marvel films are action comedies, which almost completely lack any sense of gravitas or weight, but are very fun and entertaining, with just enough nods to the source material and great casting to make fans happy. However, BVS is not like those films, it is serious, it demands that you think, and it does not coddle you. It is like Watchmen in this way, but, unfortunately, critics and many supposed "fans" are still not ready for truly serious and meaningful superhero films, and prefer the easily accessible (and very predictable) Saturday Morning cartoon style of films that Marvel presents (as in the studio and not including the Fox films). Why can we not just enjoy both? Because, apparently, the cool thing to do is bash anything not Marvel and nitpick it to death, when you could actually just work out all of your supposed plotholes if you bothered to pay attention to the film. The casting was spot on, and Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Jeremy Irons put on amazing performances as their respective characters, with returning stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and others continuing to put on stellar performances. Jesse Eisenburg's performance will divide many, but as a fan of the graphic novel, Superman: Red Son, I really enjoyed his character and thought that he did an excellent job. Ben Affleck is the absolute best live-action Batman we've seen, and Henry Cavill continues to perform admirably as Superman. For those who are not patient, and don't appreciate meaningful dialogue and a lack of one-liners, the first hour of the movie may bore you, because we actually get a good amount of character development and story that leads into the explosive latter half of the movie. Now, the movie is not perfect, and there are certainly parts of the film that leave some questions unanswered, but, we all should have known going in that this is a prologue movie, so there should be things for us to discover in the next movie. One part of the film that was maybe a little out of place was the apocalyptic dream-sequence, which only fans of the comics will truly understand and appreciate. The scene is not bad, but it's placement and delivery may be strange for some. So the film does have some issues, but, overall, it is a masterfully shot, well-acted, and well-thought out film, that respects a viewers intelligence and ability to comprehend complex themes. On another note, the final 45 minutes of the movie is absolutely amazing, and the interweaving plots develop naturally and flow well. Seeing the Trinity in action is an amazing sight, and will make DC fans giddy with delight. Also, and I won't spoil it, the final 20 minutes or so of the film had me on the verge of tears and the finale was truly amazing, but certainly not a "happy" ending. No Marvel film has been able to get me even close to feeling particularly sad about a character or event, which again shows how much more emotional weight DC is willing to invest in their films. Anyway, I've gone on long enough, but I urge people to see the film for themselves and to be open to a different kind of superhero film. The critics are being exceedingly harsh and the fanboys who want to hate on the film are out in droves, but to those who can ignore the hate, they will find an incredible film that truly is the Dawn of Justice.… Expand

I really enjoyed this movie and I didn't expect to. I have an extreme dislike of Ben Affleck, but I have to grudgingly admit that his take on Batman was great. The movie was slow in the beginning, but by the end you almost have to catch your breath.

This is by no means a perfect movie. It has serious flaws that I'm sure have been written about by critics ad nauseum, and this is where I take issue with critics. This was a fun movie that was an absolute pleasure to watch on the big screen. If you had taken Zach Snyder's name off this movie and put JJ Abrams on it, then I'm willing to bet the critic score for this movie would be 30 points higher on average. Some directors critics just seem to have it in for. This movie was extremely flawed but fun to watch, yet it gets burned by critics. JJ Abrams makes a fun but EXTREMELY flawed movie in Force Awakens, and critics swoon because it's JJ Abrams.

If you're on the fence about this movie because of the critics, don't be. Go see this movie and enjoy it for the fun visual spectacle that it is. You won't regret it.… Expand

Besides some questionable writing and decisions... BvS is overall a good film, enjoyable yet flawed, certainly not a 4! A 6 or 7 would be about right. For all it's faults it has a lot of amazing scenes in there that helps you to forgive. If you liked Man of Steel then you will like BvS, it's as simple as that. Though not as good as MoS, you will still like it. Especially when it all comes together at near the end.
My problem with BvS is that there are a lot of situations that aren't written with enough depth and detail making you unable to comprehend how certain characters arrive to their being. That and it feels like they are going to release a director's cut due to how things were hurriedly put together.
But like I said earlier, it's entertaining and if you switch your brain off it's a 7. If you want to nit pick it could be a 5... But hey, I'd rather have a good time.… Expand

Is it the perfect movie? No but it's still pretty enjoyable. Affleck killed it as the dark knight and Batman is the first name in the title for a reason. Batman has far more dialogue and exploration of his character while Cavill's Superman isIs it the perfect movie? No but it's still pretty enjoyable. Affleck killed it as the dark knight and Batman is the first name in the title for a reason. Batman has far more dialogue and exploration of his character while Cavill's Superman is there most of the time to remiss on the past and to play the role of eye candy. Wonder Woman was a welcomed addition but her introduction was far from good, Although she was great in the final fight of the film.

Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor was sort of a hit and miss for me. He's a very dialogue driven character but most of his dialogue seemed to be filled with verbal ticks and mutters of a mad man rather than a cold and calculated business man. I think they'd have been better off with an older, more mature Lex than a young man.

Speaking of the fight between Batman vs Superman, It was short but sweet. It totally lived up but I expected a bit more back and forth and didn't like that it was so one sided from start to finish. The fight with Doomsday used way too much CGI and seemed like a cluster-f**k of color on screen. Batman, naturally, just sat that one out as Wonder Woman got her chance to shine and use her array of weapons on Doomsday. It was sort of eh for a finale of such a good movie.

Overall, Affleck owned the role of Batman and that alone makes this movie worth seeing. He had so many great action scenes and one liners. The fight between him and Superman was exactly how we wanted it to be. It's a very well done film. Can't wait to buy the director's cut and see all the goodies we missed out on in the theatrical cut.… Expand

The plot takes its time to set up and that's great too, you don't have a two hours long movie with just battles, and god, that's refreshing.

I wasn't convinced by Affleck at first, but now, I have to admit that he is a great Batman and a great Bruce Wayne, quite different from Bale, but great nonetheless. Cavill didn't change since Men of Steel.… Expand

I honestly don't understand why it's catching so much flak. Sure, there was a lot going on, but it wasn't hard to understand what was happening throughout the movie nor was it hard keep up with, it was just a lot. BvS was one big set up for many of DCs future upcoming films and I never found it to be a distraction or ruined the pace imo. I was aware of what was going on from beginning to end and I loved every minute of it. Superman was good. Lex was a master manipulator. Wonder Woman was as bad ass as advertised. Batman was fantastic and the action and battle scenes were pretty damn epic imo. Speaking of Batman, I own and love the trilogy and have watched them several times. That being said, I think that this version of Batman is by far the best iteration of the Batman character yet and also closer represents the comic and animated movie versions imo, and that's a great thing. Don't go into BvS expecting Marvel fluff with cute, quip-py, chuckle-hut one liners. DC is taking things a little more seriously, but in a fun and entertaining way.

Don't trust these so called "critics". These are the same critics that said "The Witch" was the scariest horror movie of the year..... it absolutely was not and those **** owe me money for that piece of crap. No, go see the movie for yourself and judge for yourself. I'm glad I didn't listen to all those idiot critics. BvS was a good movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I could write a extensive review addressing some of the very asinine reasons people hate this film, instead I will sum up most of my review with the following statement: the reason why BvS has been so negatively received is because everyone, critics included, was expecting a Marvel film with DC characters.

This film isn't easily digestible, it uses subtlety to tell parts of its story (where all the 'poor editing' complaints come from), it's layered with symbolism and poses philosophical questions to the viewer, and it's tone is serious like a film of this nature SHOULD be. People say that this film is 'boring' and 'joyless' because there is a lot of dialogue. Unlike Marvel that treats its films and heroes as spectacles and cartoons, where all the death and destruction is easily glossed over or drowned out by an almost campy, inappropriate tone this movie takes itself very seriously like it's SUPPOSED to.

Should there be a lot of jokes in a movie about a super-powered alien who's come to Earth, greeted by a cynical and suspicious human population that seems to be both in awe and fear of him, while the world contemplates the limits of his power and the good-nature of his intentions. Where a troubled and disillusioned Bruce Wayne, having succumbed to the world's cynicism, becomes fixated on the task of killing Superman, who he hardly considered human.

This Batman's idealism had been long snuffed out. His mansion's a wreck, he drinks a lot, he brands and kills criminals, Robin is dead, Barbara is in a wheelchair, Gotham is still a crap-hole after twenty plus years of beating up criminals. Do you think this Batman is going to just sit down and accept that this alien is going to stay good forever. Batman as a character is incredibly paranoid. And as for his no-kill rule, do you really think after all that's happened he'd still so strictly abide by that moral standard? If you think about it, just how realistic is it to begin with? He has no qualm killing criminals, he'll have even less of issue killing someone he doesn't even consider human.

Even the opening scene where the bats lift him up into the light is an allegory for Bruce's journey as Batman. The Bats and the persona of the Batman save him from the despair ushered from his parent's death by giving him a purpose and hope that he can change Gotham, but ultimately leads him nowhere. That's why he refers to it as a 'false light' and 'beautiful lie' if you pay attention to the opening dialogue.

The biggest theme and question of the movie is "Are men still good? Can they stay good in a world full of evil and cynicism?" Batman after his long career now brutalizes/kills criminals. When Superman is faced with an ultimatum, he states that "no one stays good in this world". Will the world also push him to the brink and make a monster out of him, like when Lex forces him to fight Batman or his mother will die. The film does heavily foreshadow a possible Injustice story-line.

Is the film perfect? No. There are plot holes, but not as many as other 'successful' films. They just appear more evident because of the serious tone. Doomsday's introductions was too rushed, the scene where Superman tells Batman to save Martha could've been stretched out a bit more for a movie that's almost three hours long (it was a profound moment regardless), and Lois Lane's romance with Clarke feels very forced, and unnatural. Also this movie doesn't stand on its own and plays out as if the viewer is already familiar with the DC universe and its heroes. The dream sequence and flash cameo flew over critics and casuals' heads because of this. Where Marvel makes a bigger effort to reel in new fans, this film instead decided to pander to the existing DC fanbase.

Really, despite being marketed to Mars and back, the movie can really only be appreciated by a small group of people. Kids won't be able to appreciate this film and most adults won't really be expecting a superhero film to be as mature and deep as this (yes, I believe this movie has depth). Even DC purists will be turned off by Snyder's imperfect, flawed and humanized versions of Batman and Superman that could exist in the real world. Going back to the expectations people had towards this movie, they are the biggest factor in this movie's critical down fall. If you go to buy a cheeseburger and are expecting a cheeseburger, but get a chicken sandwich or something you will be pissed. Hence this movie's undeserved poor ratings.… Expand

But frankly, I feel it is the critics just being too critical. This movie was pretty great. It wasn't perfect, but it was a good deal better than most people are saying. I think it held pretty strongly to the comics except for a few points. The Final battle in the movie when Wonder Woman showed up was... weird. It changed the tone that was already established and that didn't exactly fit well. Other than that it was pretty much spot on to the characters other that the deaths batman caused. The characters were great, Ben Affleck was phenomenal as Batman, Gal Godot was great as well. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was a bit weird, but at the base level he captured what Lex Luthor is on a better level than most actors that have played him. Henry Cavill did great as well, a good deal better than Superman in Man of Steel. Overall the movie is very worth seeing, the only true issues I had were mainly with technical stuff happening during it and the music was a bit overdone. 8.5/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Re-watched BvS earlier and I still don't understand all the hate. The criticisms I had after the first watch soon felt petty. Flaws were present, sure, but the aesthetics and just the keen sense of realism it exuded made me doubt the critics/reviews I read after more - especially the ones making a huge fuss about its flaws like it's the worst they've seen. First and foremost, it's not bad. At all. The cinematography was beautiful - it felt like I was flipping pages from a graphic novel.
Superman, however "depressing" he seemed to others, gave me the impression of growth and vast introspection. I was blind to his character growth because I was too busy thinking he's supposed to just do the right thing and be Superman and not think. But he wasn't just Superman. Behind the cape, he was still battling a sense of responsibility and self-entitlement he owed to nobody, constantly weighing himself on flat ground.
Ben Affleck absolutely killed it as both Batman and Bruce. Still, Batman didn't make all the right decisions and that's his biggest imperfection - that he's still a mortal, a human - flawed, even after being in the business for 20 years. Ultimately imo, that gave more room for the future films to further elaborate what this character could be. The dream sequences/visions made more sense too. I thought they were unnecessary at first but it showed a disturbed Bruce Wayne. Bruce was never a mentally healthy person, adding that to his age and it made sense to me why he acted in ways he did. He's more experienced and he doesn't go dilly dallying.
Lex Luthor also made more sense. His motives have been, for the most part, underlying. He's conniving, manipulative and pure evil. He dropped hints here and there, revealed his nature, his intentions, but I think it flew over my brain during the first screening. He's a really twisted Lex. I believe Eisenberg's performance was not lacklustre in any range. If anything, he pulls it off. Just differently. His character has a lot of potential, again, imo, to show different sides. He could be brooding, he could be sinister, insane, borderline Joker or all at once. Or everything he's shown up till now could all be pretense and part of a coping mechanism to suppress his madness.
Irons as Alfred was great casting!
Gal Gadot was a Goddess as Wonder Woman. She was just badass. Graceful, intelligent, beautiful. She had a reason for being in the film btw for all you saying she was pointless.

(Spoiler: LexCorp, Metahuman experiments. That was her reason.)

The 3rd act definitely could've used less CGI, but hey, in its defense, it was Doomsday.

The film has great depth. It mirrors more of ourselves and how we see things. Though it felt like cut scenes jumping from one another, the end tied it up together. It wasn't as incoherent as everyone is making it out to be. (At least for me.) It actually made sense in the end. It gradually tied up to the plot, played with a lot of symbols, used factors that seemed out of place but later connected little pieces. The editing was haphazard, but it's really just.. different than usual. It's divisive. It's like laying out various planks before placing each in correct positions to form a proper floor structure. Others may like it, others who don't like unfamiliar/odd would probably be annoyed with it. The movie had issues, many of which are obvious and piques the interests of negative press, but it was a great watch and imo succeeded in launching a platform for the DCEU. I was thoroughly entertained and kept on the edge of my seat.… Expand

Antman scoredThis movie was far better than critics made it out to be. It was dark and took itself serious, which may be a departure from many of the comic movies, particularly Marvel, which always have a running joke to lighten the mood. Antman scored an 80% in Rotten Tomatoes, which means Batman v Superman should have scored better.

The Batman fight scenes were very good and Ben Affleck performed well as a mature Caped Crusader. I'm still stumped at what version of Lex Luthor did Jesse Eisenberg play, clearly he was mixed up between the Joker and Pee Wee Herman, but he certainly never portrayed the confident and cunning business man that Lex Luthor has always been. He played a confused, crazy and not the least bit scary version.

It had several really great scenes, among the best in comic movie history. Overall I get that critics don't understand the dark, serious comic world, but anyone who has read Dark Knight Returns, The Watchmen, Killing Joke, etc knows that these are dark comics with big themes and the movie certainly brought them to the big screen. It got a little Michael Bay in the final fight scene, which kind of spoiled it a bit, but still a good, if not somewhat flawed installment of the DC universe.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman is a film worth seeing. But beautiful action and choreography sadly do not cover up a very week story with more holes than a sieve.
What Batman v Superman does well it excels at, the action is amazing, with scenes from Ben Affleck being a highlight, but sadly that does not make up for a story that was going no where, which is a shame as this film has so much potential.
For example, the whole film was geared up to be a massive showdown between two titans of the superhero world, and yet the fight only lasted seven minutes, and was resolved in a very cheap manner.
But, as mentioned before the movie does have its bright points. Ben Affleck as Batman was a particular highlight. He may not have been the strongest Bruce Wayne, but he was by far and between a stellar Batman. He was cruel, calculated and efficient as Batman in every sense of the word.
The soundtrack for this film was amazing. Despite the fact that not every scene was strong, there was no denying that every scene was well supported by an amazing accompaniment.
This movie is far from perfect. but what it does well, it does very well.… Expand

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition is most certainly not the bloated, stupid mess that it is often reviled as being. It's a dark, visually stunning, surprisingly smart epic that certainly isn't built for mainstream audiences.

Zack Snyder is a very under-appreciated director. Say what you will about his choice of bleak colors and themes, the man has talent. Batman v. Superman is a gorgeous-looking film. Every shot looks like there was a plethora of thought and care put into it to ensure that its purpose was served. Everything captured on screen has a deepness of color and texture that is seldom acknowledged by today's moviegoers. The visual effects--with the exception of a couple of brief moments--are seamless and blend naturally with everything caught naturally on camera. My mouth gaped with awe at every frame and I never wanted to take my eyes off of the screen.

Hans Zimmer's score here is absolutely brilliant. It flows so naturally, adding tension to tense scenes and adding heart to moving scenes. I can't say enough good things about it.

As for the far more important matters of story, writing, and character development, none of these fall flat either. There certainly are a lot of characters in Batman v. Superman, and that can be a glaring weakness for a film as development gets scattered and lost. But this movie knows which characters to focus on and which ones not to. The script is leaps and bounds more intelligent than it's given credit for. Sure, there are some cheesy lines that feel forced, but for the most part the dialogue doesn't deviate from plot development and nearly every line serves to reveal deep emotion buried in each character. This is not a lighthearted superhero movie. It's a gloomy tragedy and everyone involved in the story, both hero and villain, is battling internal demons as they're plagued by feelings of inadequacy and jealousy despite the wealth and power they possess.

This isn't a happy-go-lucky, let's go kill the bad guy Marvel film. DC has given us something so much deeper than that here. People often complain about the fact that Lex Luthor's plan here doesn't make any sense. (Oh, and Marvel villains' plans do?) Granted, it can seem convoluted as the story progresses and they could have done a better job at clearing up his intentions and logic. But once everything is understood, it really says something about Lex's personality and he becomes much more relatable as a character. Without spoiling anything, in the end, Lex is just as damaged inside as the heroes are. They're really not that different.

Batman v. Superman isn't a film without flaws. It's a bit too long and a little too ambiguous. There really aren't any standout performances, but there isn't a single bad performance, either. Everyone plays their roles very well and emotions run stunningly deep. It's the rare superhero movie that works on an intellectual level, raising thought-provoking moral questions and providing somber character arcs that stick with you after the credits roll.

I was joyfully blown away by the surprisingly existent and powerful plot (which I had heard was nothing). Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot both did a fantastic acting job, and Ben Affleck did a pretty good job as well, though he wasn’t as good a Batman as Michael Keaton was in Batman and Batman Returns (as of this writing, I have not seen the Dark Knight trilogy, so I can not compare Ben Affleck to Christian Bale yet). The special effects were outstanding, on par with the rest of the DCEU. I loved the tension between the two titular characters, as well as the surprise ending! In summary, while lots of people hated this movie, I found it really enjoyable and beyond! The only thing that I would have changed is the length of the movie. Similar to Man of Steel, it felt like it ran too long.… Expand

Sure, there might be some things that are wrong about the movie, for example Batman being a killer and Superman being depressing, but overall, it is amazing. All of you DC haters out there, stop being jerks. Also, people who want to watch this movie, please don't say you don't want to see it because of what the critics say. Go watch it and make your own review. The dislike for this movie is very unjust and cruel. It is great. I recommend it especially to comic book lovers.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yeah so I'm still digesting this and will continue to do so for some time. I really enjoyed it but I expect I will be in the minority because this movie hits my ponderous/angsty/philosophical pleasure centers and its brooding tone probably won't work as well for most. I'll acknowledge that WB's ambitious attempt to introduce a bazillion characters all at once and lay the groundwork for a Justice League movie was over-reaching and sloppy at times, but I appreciate immensely how boldly the filmmakers dove into deconstructing these characters (on a mythical level in the case of Superman and a personal level in the case of Batman, with Lex playing an almost meta-role as the ringleader and Greek chorus since he is the only guy with the Big Picture in mind), which is not something anyone was asking for but it's the kind of work I'm personally interested in. This might have been my favorite superhero movie since Watchmen and my favorite comic book movie since Scott Pilgrim if the editing and third act had been more on point. The story happenings in the last 45 minutes of the film NEEDED to be better thought-out and right now the last act knocks the movie down from “great” to “really good”. There is a spoiler-free TL;DR at the end.

MANY CONTEXTUAL SPOILERS AHEAD.

I really, unabashedly, enjoyed about 65% of it (the action was sparse but solid and the performances were great all around - Affleck was a fantastic Batman, Cavill does a really good job conveying Superman's conflicted emotions, Eisenberg makes a fitting Lex with just the right amount of smarm, wit, and menace, Adams' Lois is the heart that holds it together, Jeremy Irons' Alfred is the voice of reason, etc.). The other 35% ranges from tolerable (Diana Prince) to unnecessary padding (Lois) to just plain bizarre (Batman's desert dream). You could have cut 20~ minutes from this movie, made MINOR script changes in 2 or 3 scenes, and gotten a much tighter and more cohesive story with a character arc for Superman, all without losing the thematic content.

On to length. This movie is such a mixed bag in the sense that it aces the thematic/mythic/character moments that are my favorite part of these movies, but fumbles what should be incredibly simple/routine plot tasks by stretching them out over MANY scenes (Lois' bullet investigation, which was maybe 5 scenes, could have been accomplished in 2, and how many times did we need to hear Perry wondering where Clark ran off to?).

The thematic content (the contrast between a "God" trying to live as a man doing right by his own moral code, a man trying to fend off his own mortal fears and demons by taking on an alien that represents a power no man can fathom or handle, and a man trying to create a devil to kill "God" and achieve power over all men) was ON POINT. The character interactions and portrayals of brooding Bruce/Batman, conflicted Clark/Supes, over-the-top Lex, and the mysterious but upbeat Diana/WW were all superbly done, but when it came to tying these thematic elements together with the plot, the work failed to become more than the sum of its parts. It seemed like the film was building up to a cohesive, operatic finale but everything fell short around the last 45 minutes or so. That's when it became clear that neither of our heroes would be allowed to overstep their boundaries and the title fight was going to be waged based upon a series of misunderstandings, obvious false flag attacks, and blackmail incidents that led to both characters playing right into Luthor's hands.

The issue is that Batman and Superman don't fight because either is truly motivated to take the other out. They fight because the plot demands it: Luthor has cornered Superman and emotionally manipulated Bruce (especially after that last scene with Finch, I found it out of character to the point of incredulity for even an unstable Bruce to have not seen through Lex's ploy here). It's as if WB suddenly decided that rather than risk having one or both of their mascots go too far, it would be easier for them to both be played like saps.

As for the action, hey, I really enjoyed it. The Batmobile chase was great and I prefer this version of the vehicle to Nolan's. The title fight is surprisingly understated. It isn't drawn out, nor is it flashy, but it follows a solid progression with good choreography and it didn't seem like any poor choices were made on the parts of the combatants or filmmakers. **** was clean. Batman has a solid solo fight sequence against some thugs. But the climactic Doomsday clash is the centerpiece and it didn't disappoint. Synder and DP Larry Fong don't opt for much speed-ramping and much of the action is surprisingly done in real-time with less slow-mo than we expect from Snyder..

I really wanted to love this but I can't get past just really liking it. There's so many things they got right but ultimately it's the unnecessary length and aforementioned motivation problems that hold it back from classic status. 8/10… Expand

Full of drama and grit, the movies tone is dark and unforgiving. Everything I want from a superhero film, the conflicts and struggles of having such great power but also being in a world of darkness and fragility. Any concerns of Ben Affleck playing batman are gone immediately, he absolutely nailed the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman being older, jaded, and battle hardened. Cavil's superman is so perfect I really can't imagine any other actor playing that role. Jessie Eisenberg's Lex was immature, spoiled, and perfectly evil. Combine these characters with the epic and beautiful cinematography of Zack Snyder and trow in the genius of Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL and we have one of the greatest superhero films of all time. I know many critics are comparing the DC films to the Marvel collection of films, complaining that Batman v Superman is missing the fun and light side of hero films, but thats just it DC comics are dark, jaded, conflicted. I feel that if DC followed in the same recipe and tone as marvel, the critics would complain of them copying each other. DC have made their own universe and it pulls no punches! Its a movie that fans will love and a movie that will create many new fans in its wake.… Expand

...Because of so many of you and your horrible reviews I went into BvS with extremely low expectations. Instead, I was pleasantly rewarded with quite possibly the best Superhero movie I've seen and perhaps one of my favorite movies...period! As some of you reading this may have already noticed, BvS has not received rave reviews. Matter of fact, most of the so-called critics are trashing this movie; however, after the movie was finished, myself and everyone sitting around me were left asking: "Why?" We were all freaking out and pumped from the DC Trinity extravaganza we all just witnessed.

BvS was a glorious experience that had not only myself, but everyone (I noticed) around me completely enthralled and joyously entertained! I was giddy as a schoolgirl with excitement, particularly because this Superman fanboy not only loved me some Man of Steel, but was absolutely floored by the Batfleck...like that bad guy that was face-planted by Bats in the movie...you know the one. Yes, Mr. Affleck's masterpiece portrayal of the Dark Knight is by far the best Batman ever!...sorry Mr. Bale, but it ain't even close.

This is The Batman I loved from the comics! This is The Batman I loved from Batman: The Animated Series! This is the Batman that is the genius tactician that you could believe is finally capable of living up to the moniker of World's Greatest Detective! In addition, Wonder Woman kicks some serious ass and her appearance definitely received the biggest applause of the movie.

I could go into more detail about what makes this movie great for me, I could go on and on and give you an overly analytical rant as to why I feel the way I do about this film, but let's face it, who am I to suggest what you may like?...which is the same reason why you shouldn't put to much weight in the critics' reviews either.

Is the movie perfect in every way? Perhaps not. The best advice I can give in regards to BvS, is that if you are not already a fan of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, DC Comics or the superhero genre, you may not like the film (or perhaps become a fan yourself). However, if you are already a fan of those things I mentioned, then the movie is definitely worth the price of admission! And furthermore, even though I had already seen all of the trailers, I was still given enough to chew on in this film to feel like I hadn't already seen it all.

Go see this movie with an open mind and if your experience is anything like mine, you'll HAVE A BLAST! BvS is everything an action blockbuster of this type should be: being thoroughly entertained to the point where you and complete strangers around you in the theater can't help but cheer and celebrate together at what you just saw on screen!

I know I'll be going to see it a couple more times before it leaves the theater!… Expand

Wonderwoman is great and as a female hero is also...awesome

What I dislike about this movie is the plot line. It's not that it has plot holes, it's that it is heavily condensed. It feels like DC or whoever is in charge is forcing script writers to jump the gun on "project justice league". Really, the amount of plot lines makes the viewer feel less attached to characters than they should be.

With that said, I think the movie is 8 out of 10 or 9 out of 10 depending on whom I talk to.

The lack of humor has beenSo I'll get right to it. Yes, this film has some issues. Do I think they're significant ones? No. Is it better than the Nolan Batman movies, no. Is it dark and brooding? Yes. Is it totally humorless? No.

The lack of humor has been mentioned by virtually every reviewer who holds a negative view of the movie. Its an unfair accusation - firstly DC movies are always a bit less light-hearted than those of a Marvel variety. Secondly - there are genuine moments of humor which the whole screening I was at laughed at. Even one from the Dark Knight himself having come to the aid of a damsel in distress.

Affleck is a fantastic Batman - physically he's the best fit to date. As Bruce Wayne he's suitably playboy-ish when needed. This is not a young Batman who is still naive and full of hope that he can change Gotham. He' s quite obviously scarred by years of action, questioning what good he's actually achieved.

Cavill is again a good fit for Superman - a lot of the earlier parts of the movie do focus on Batman, but the Man of Steel is not ignored.

There are multiple dream scenes - and they're one of the weaker aspects of the movie for me. They do take you away from the moment, and one or two are superfluous. Removing some of these would have resulted is a lot less negativity from the harsher critics, but they're not enough to ruin the movie for me.

This movie quite obviously acts as a set up for the Justice League universe - so we get to see Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman for the first time. Shes perfectly good at whats required of her in this - I wouldn't go so far as to say shes a scene-stealer by any means though. The introduction to some of the other meta humans who will make up the JL was fine - it fitted into one of the story threads, and was pretty brief.

Another complaint leveled at the movie is the length of time it takes for Batman and Superman to get to fight each other Its a baffling complaint - akin to complaining about the shark not being seen earlier in Jaws. Its meant to be left until near the end, and its a pretty brutal fight. If you are a fan of The Dark Knight Returns, I think you'll be pretty satisfied by it.

The Doomsday fight is not as effective in my opinion, mainly due to some CGI overload. The problem is though - with Supermans powers, its hard to find someone to fight him who can provide a challenge, and the majority of his enemies are going to have to be done in CGI. A few less blasts of light might have helped though.

Overall, I thought the movie served to open us up to not only the JL movie, but the standalone Batman and Wonder Woman movies. I really liked it, without loving it. If you watched the trailer and didn't like what you saw, you won't enjoy this, so stay at home.… Expand

It is known that critics have no brain. It is the best Superman film as Henry Cavill in the red and blue suit. Yep, I know it is always DC versus Marvel, so it is then DC's reply to the 'Avengers'. I don't care their rivalries, as a film fanatic, I enjoy good films and I found it was so good. But I was a bit worried after the Superman was shown in a dark shade in the trailer, especially after Batwan was overly stylised by Nolan, I thought the black suit would take over. After watching the film I was relieved and happy that Batman was exposed.

Batman fans might have been disappointed, but for the superhero and DC fans, this film is a great treat. You can't compare it with 'Avengers', it had its own style. It follows the 'Man of Steel' and directed by the same director. Excellent cast. I have never been the Ben Affleck hater, so I had no objection to his role in this. He did good along with Cavill and others. He would do better in his solo Batman films if Zack Snyder is retained to script and direct them.

I'm not a comic book reader, so I did not know the story before the watch. I was surprised for the Wonder Woman's part in the film. The visuals were awesome, the story was unpredictable, well developed characters, cleverly composed scenes, wonderful stunt sequences and the film's overall tone was kind of dark and gloomy, a very satisfying superhero film. The content balance was perfect, but the characters did not do the same as we know Superman is a father of all superheroes.

I already watched it twice and I can't wait for its sequel. Especially looking forward for Jesse Eisenberg, because he was kind of stayed low in this and I hope his character Lex becomes much stronger. It is a PG13, and there's nothing botherable stuffs in it for the underage audience, but I felt it is targeted for adults because of the matured flavour. Don't think about that I said, just watch it, it will definitely entertain you well if not blow you away. Surely recommended to all.

Who said that it's easy to save to the world? One day you're an enigmatic hero with red cape, who wakes up every morning with a vision of salvation for all mankind. The next day, he's located in a court accused of generating extreme losses and catastrophic deaths of innocent people, yeah, it's not a joke. It's not relaxing that in the same city there is a guy with dress black and gloomy voice that is absorbing and containing some kind of hatred towards the Kriptonian.

"Clark Kent: Civil liberties are being trampled on in your city; good people living in fear.
Bruce Wayne: Don't believe everything you hear, son.
Clark Kent: I've seen it, Mr. Wayne. He thinks he's above the law.
Clark Kent: Most of the world doesn't share your opinion, Mr. Wayne.
Bruce Wayne: Maybe it's that Gotham City and me... we just have a bad history with freaks dressed like clowns"

These lines are faithful signals of the dissimilarity between them and opens the backdrop of dramatic and argumentative plot of the tape of the year.

This is the theme used by the visionary director Zack Snyder for the shocking title "BvS". This man conceives to "Ben Affleck" - in his first time as the "Dark Knight" (being the best forever) - "Henry Cavill" - for the second time as "Clark Kent" - and fire and dynamite from the movie (I'm tempted to say the best) "Gal Gadot" models to our "Wonder Woman" of this time. Do you need more attractive?' Therefore, the impressive point is won by Jesse Eisenberg as Alexander Joseph Luthor "Lex" (I think neither Bryan Cranston could overcome him).

The awaited confrontation of two of the characters most iconic DC Comics (for me, they're three) is not a nonsense without remedy as critics claim. It is one of the best films of heroes in 25 years and the experience improves if you live it in IMAX.

"Dawn of Justice" is a colorful painting with a range of dark colors for the eyes, with many surprises and tricks up its sleeve, with impeccable performances (it is difficult to see it in films of this genre), with the exact content of humor, with profound and eloquent drama, with effects from other world, with a subliminal entrance of characters and superhumans who are just around the corner and seeing the opening of DC with this film, Marvel Studios has a hard job.

We are all tired of the adaptations made a monetary purposes that takes advantage of its great label. Thank you before hand that the second phase of Marvel Entertaiment finished last year. That hole has filled it (and possibly continue filling) production company Warner Bros., debuting in the genre with a prelude that excites even to the most older guys. No more films of superheroes full of comedy and silly stories (Marvel), "BvS" praises to their genre giving a good premise, good combination of genres and an exceptional show. Hopefully that "Civil War" will open the third phase with a different focus because Warner has projects such like rice.

"Batman V Superman" tells around the entire film its synthesis, it abstaining to the denouement of have a closed end. Around of all the footage, references the "metahumans" is constant and sometimes makes us think that this is a facade to inaugurate the world of the "Justice League".

Diane Prince, is still undetectable to the press but for others it is very visible. Before entry the audience at cinema, they already wondered in what second reappear our warrior lady, the wait was suffocating but she illuminates the scene at the Lex's conference, her elegance, her bearing, her physical, although the criticisms initials about Gal, she is the biggest attraction of the movie and the next appearance of the Queen Amazon will have more time on screen delighting us with her presence.

You know, throughout all marketing and promotion I felt rage and anger with all the expectation which was about Affleck but and Henry?. I confess that this man was with who I had greater empathy, and his sad death made me cry. It is impossible to select characters by their interpretations and characters in "BvS".

Affleck's Batman is the best in the history of Batman, his metaphysical transformation for the boy of Gotham was extreme, it exhibiting his effort with his performance, a man who is tired of looking like a hero destroys the city. Salve or destroy?

The twist of the plot that gets the film is suitable, because everyone knew that if a superhero loses, he would lose credibility and would seem less, which so decide to join them. That the better trick.

"BvS" revives the love of the audience providing a faithful adaptation to comic. So, Snyder has closed with a spectacular finish, their duty has been fulfilled and is prepared to start engines in April, approaching the chaos (in the good way) Perfect for fans and for the public in general, "Batman V Superman" seduces and impacts, full of magnetism and loyalty, the wait is over , we are satiated, film take the sweet of the genre showing the hidden side of the coin.… Expand

If you are a comic book fan you will love this. Of course there are some issues like the pacing of the movie in the beginning. Some might not like new Lex very much.

Some might not like new Lex very much. Doomsday might have been improved. But the things they did right easily outweighs those issues.

Movie takes a lot of time to establish the motivations and stories behind the two titular characters. Story is rich and has a few surprises for the people who thought the trailers showed too much. And the movie ends in a way no other superhero movie hasn't.

Easily a 9/10. But since no movie is perfect and I personally love these characters very much I can stretch it to a 10/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie needs to be seen as a stepping stone to the DC universe that they are just starting to build, in order to properly see it in its full scope. It's not easy setting up future installments while maintaining focus on the original script, and to non-comic fans some of these subplots might come a bit left sided. But to those who know what's coming and what this movie is trying to build every one of those hints where really exciting.
The tone of the movie is what's to be expected from a Snyder movie, it's a style that doesn't appeal to many but it fits the DC comics tone perfectly. Granted, the editing could have seen more work to give the movie a more concise feel, and trying to encapsulate so many famous comic book story arcs into just one movie might not have been the best idea.
But overall there's not a critic in the world that can tell me this is a bad movie that doesn't deserve watching or any praise. Ben Affleck is the perfect rendition of Miller's TDKR's vision of a seasoned, brutal Batman, and most viewers are so shocked by his manslaughter they miss the whole character development. Jeremy Iron's brilliant performance of Alfred clearly shows us he's become cruel, the appearance of Superman drives him to become even more extreme and by the end of the movie Superman's sacrifice inspires him to do something bigger and better.
Gal Gadot simply stole the show, commanding every scene she was in, which was not an easy task considering Ben's performance. All the action scenes were superb, and I may be biased because seeing the Trinity on movie was something I'd never expect to see in my lifetime, but I was at the edge of my seat during both major fight scenes in the movie.

I'll be seeing it again tomorrow for sure, and maybe even a third time a week from now. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie, can't wait for Justice League and the expanding of the DCCU.… Expand

Ben, Henry, Gal, great job.

To Mr. Snyder, you the best action director of all times. So all you
nitwit, dummies and dunces who gives a rating lower than 7/10 or 75%
pass, are haters either paid to discourage the profit gain or just
plain dunce. Go watch the sun rise and shine then clowns. I am both a
marvel and DC fan. But Dawn of Justice and Man of steel were way better than any marvel movie release to date.

DC, factually speaking is and will always be better than Marvel
(including TV shows as well,DC is conquering with the likes flash,
arrow etc, marvel is just boring). DC is the alpha and omega of
comics/adaptation.

Go strong Dawn of Justice. Congrats to all the cast and crew. I cant
wait to see JL1 and JL2. Yeah!… Expand

If you liked Man of Steel or Watchmen then you'll like this movie. The performances were superb, and the cinematography was great. There were some choppy cuts, but I believe that will be resolved in the 3-hour directors cut (too long for theater viewings). If you wanted 5 movies leading up to this (eg. the beginning Marvel movies) then I understand complaining that it feels rushed. But, if you, like many others would rather not wait years for a team-up movie like this, then please realize what this movie had to do to make it work, and understand the comic-centric angle Zack Snyder brought to this piece.… Expand

Greatest comic book movie of all time. Brilliant story - realistic, gritty, dark - a welcome break from Marvel's campy fantasy. And an ending that will break your heart. What a setup for the DCCU and JL.

The critics have no idea about what is a good movie based on a comic book.

This and man of steel fully respect the comics, those critics who bashed it, probably love the high school humor from Marvel comics and love the "realistic" Batman from the Dark Knight trilogy. Well news flash - comic book movies are not meant to be realistic! You people do not get it: this movie was never meant to have character development or a plot or a story, it is just a starter course for the main course - Justice League. It is meant for true comic book fans, people who already know the character's backstory and just want to see Batman fight with Superman, they don't want to see for 1 hour how the character became a superhero, they already know!
So, to the critics who gave the movie scores under 50, please, quit your jobs, or better yet, stick to casual movies like Adam Sandler's or Hunger Games and rate those 11/10 if you can't tell the difference between a masterpiece and a piece of crap… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly I'm a comic fan of all types. I love marvel and DC but I love then both for very different reasons. I love Marvel for the fantastical universes they create and populate with the unexpected heroes. DC I love fire vastly different reasons; it is the dystopian nihilist visions of the impact of superheroes that engage me.

Is this film perfect? Not in a million years but as a faithful reproduction of the DC universe it is perfect for my own expectations. I feel that Synders representation of the impact of superheroes in a fully fleshed out modern world; it is the impact of choices and the devastation that superhuman powers could have are central to this film.

If you don't love watchmen and are not fully invested in the nihilist DC universe that is represented in the Man of Steel, the Dark Knight and the Death of Superman series then this is not the film for you. At all. I'd even advise you to stay away because it will do nothing for you except to potentially annoy you.

This film is made by a fan, for the fans and will be confusing for any one else. The film expects the viewer the have a good grasp of the lore as there are significant plot holes in the film that are only alluded to in the film.

If you expect a happy film with happy tones then your in the wrong place.

I loved it. The pacing was great, batman was recreated impeccably, wonder woman was used well. It looks great and sounds incredible.

Bravo Mr Synder, bravo. From one fan to another, thank you.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. great movie, i thought Superman was more of the story then a character in the movie. the Justice League cameos were a little short then again they were cameos, although the Flash's cameo was a little puzzling it was great to Ezra Miller keeping it to the source material. i understand that the movie critics were looking forward to a "Avengers-Disney" style movie, maybe they came into watching the movie without knowing the characters or the DC Universe at large which is full of great stories. all and all this movie is worth your time, all the nay-sayers who initially watched might change their tune after seeing the director cut. it's a 10 from me, go into this movie with doubt cause you'll leave surprised.… Expand

I read all the negative and mixed reviews before watching it on a Thursday night screening, critics really don't want this universe to kick off, and they failed at trying to stop that(record breaking box office numbers lol). All I have to sayI read all the negative and mixed reviews before watching it on a Thursday night screening, critics really don't want this universe to kick off, and they failed at trying to stop that(record breaking box office numbers lol). All I have to say is that they are wrong.

I was blown away by this movie. Everyone was perfect, I even enjoyed Eisenberg's Lex Luthor! He's honestly the only one getting heat, if people didn't like him it was because of Snyder's interpretation of him, not Jesse himself, his acting was great. And Ben Affleck's Batman, best on screen Batman to date, he nailed it, best part of the movie. Not to mention Gal Gadot's wonder woman...I'm in love. Of course Henry played a solid Superman as we expected, I'm sure we are all on board for him after watching Man of Steel.

It has its flaws just like any other movie, but by the end you won't care about them. The Good outweighs the bad tremendously! Zack Snyder made a beautiful movie and his team did a great job, and I look forward to the rest of the DC universe. Props to Hans and Tom, the soundtrack was superb! I was not expecting such big emotional hits from this movie, I'm a grown ass man and I literally cried, I haven't felt this emotional in a movie since Passion of the Christ.

Strongly recommend watching it at least twice! It gets better each time!… Expand
