Loved it !

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2016)

I spent most of my childhood reading comic books and Batman V Superman where my two favourites , so when they announced they would feature together in a movie together for the first time my excitement, then on Thursday came the reviews along with a sense of dread that this film could possibly be a 2016 version of Batman and Robin I have never seen a film so tore apart by the critics so with a sense of trepidation I took my seat in the IMAX with my wife and friends none of whom are massive comic book fans and I have to say we all absolutely loved it !! The first third of the movie is a slow build but still has a few highlights esp our first introduction to the bat! This is the batman I know from the comics , Synder has captured the spirit of the batman perfectly in this film , there are a few scenes that could have been left out and made the film feel bloated a bit such as the batman origin story of his parents which we have seen done a million times but the positives far outweigh the negatives ,Henry Cavil has been slated as Superman for not being smiley or positive but I guess when your a super powered alien being and the world doesn't trust you it might affect your mood ! He is the perfect choice to play Superman looks wise and has a certain aura that you believe he is the man of steel.The fight scenes are amazing when batman and superman throw down it feels and looks straight out of Frank Millers Dark Knight and when they team up along with Wonder Woman it gets even better ! I wanted to to take note of audience reaction during the film and the whole audience was captivated by this film from start to finish as we all went through an exciting and sometimes emotional ride together.I always believe the sign of a good film is it stays with you after the credits roll and you discuss it analyse certain scenes and this movie has certainly done that to me my wife and friends , I don't know what the critics expected it from it and why they hate it so much but all I can say is my childhood heroes I feel for the first time have been portrayed the way I imagined them as a boy as I read through my comic books , and I am excited for Justice League and the rest of the DC universe to be fully realised on the silver screen ! Don't listen to the critics go and see it yourself.
