An AMAZING Experience...Dark, Intense, Powerful..Engaging!

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2016)

Finally, watched The movie... in a jam packed theater...and to put it simply.. I Loved it and so did everyone in my group which included my wife! Seriously, I am not sure where this whole "HATE WAVE" is coming from?? I mean the film was engaging, the action sequences were great, the performances were very good..there was emotion and drama..the story was alright..what more could one really ask for? Surely, if one starts nit picking then one can find flaws even in perfection, and this my friends is just a film... so lets give it some space and some liberty as without these the whole comic book genre would cease to exist!
While the film's first half is all about building up the story, it is by no means slow and keeps you engaged. The Batman is more in focus during this phase as we learn about his motivation to go after Superman and at the same time we see how Superman is struggling to deal with his duty as a savior of mankind. Then, there is LEX LUTHOR, who, after finding kryptonite's discovery in the Indian Ocean, is hell bent to get hold of it to create weapons that can act as a deterrent to keep forces like Superman in control, although we all know that his intentions are far from noble, and that shows as the film moves further.
Also during the first half, there are some great moments as we see the Bat mobile in a great chase scene and a terrific montage of Superman as he saves people around the world and deals with the dilemma of whether he is needed or not..whether he is really a hero that people need...the conflict weighs heavily upon him right through! All this is engaging stuff and adds drama and tension.
The Second half is full of action and when the two heroes go against each other..its intense, dramatic and powerful! The introduction of Wonder Woman is also dramatic and one of the high points of the movie.
So, if I were you, I would really do myself a favor and stop listening to all the criticism and go watch the movie and make my own decision as to how this movie really is. I agree, this is not the greatest film ever made...and this is also not "for the whole family" type superhero fest either..but It definitely is a very good one and Recommended! This is better than MAN OF STEEL... and I give it a 8/10
