Just,.... OK...

Rating: 6/10 (28 March 2016)

As many other people did when first hearing about this movie, I was skeptical about the title (superman would kick the bejesus out of batman), but I decided to watch the movie and see what all of the fuss was about, I have to say that I'm a fan of the marvel movies and I was hoping for some sort of rivalry between DC and Marvel,. Sadly this will not be the case of DC keep banging out movies like this, although this is the best one that they have done so far and I've rated it as a 6...
OK, so onto the main movie,. Pros Ben Afleck actually makes an interesting Batman, I think I speak for the majority of us when I say that casting Afleck seemed like a bad idea, but he actually does a pretty good job, Henry cavil as superman is a good casting choice too, and Jesse Eisenberg did a pretty good job at being a crazy lex luthor, Jeremy irons again fits the bill (as with all of his roles, and the new Wonder Woman seemed cool too The overall movie is good to watch and doesn't really seem like 2:30 hours worth in the end, it manages to stay pretty interesting throughout (I'll explain why in the 'cons'), the bat suit looks more bulky like Afleck has had some boosts, and the overall movie is worth a watch.
Cons The story line is,.. Well,.. Ridiculous... First of all superman looks like a wimp, I think I could Slap the lad around,. Batman is too big and seems to now have super strength! I liked batman as a mere mortal but for some reason he is stronger than our average Joe, also he likes to grapple a car and drag it around I case he might need to ramp it up a container and land it perfectly on top of a car full of gun men,... Yes that actually happened.. Now I know that an alien in a blue suit and an immortal chick with a sword and shield is a little 'unrealistic',. But movies with action scenes that defy logic just grinds my gears. Which brings us to the story line,.. Sorry.. 'Story line' It's just awful, hard to follow which keeps your brain ticking over making you concentrate harder than you thought was possible,. And to no prevail as the plot seems to give you no answers really, also, I have no idea why lex hates superman, or why batman does really, sure he killed a few people trying to save his own muscular rump from zod but when everyone is questioning superman it clearly shows the guy helping people all over the world,. I'm pretty sure that the majority of people would see him as a good guy...?
Now, time for some SPOILERS,. I will attack these in the form of questions and WTF's 1) why does superman only hear what Lou's is getting up to? And why is this woman running around and getting into mischief when her fella is busy saving the world,. Attention seeker if you ask me.. 2) how come with all of the technology that the cryptonites have, a guy that just wanders in can just create a monster which was banned from being made?!? That computer lady needs sacking! 3) when batman amazingly beats up superman, why does he change his mind and become his blood brother after learning that their mothers have the same name!? 'You killed thousands of people in your last movie and I hate everything about you!! I'm going too.. Oh wait,. Your mum is called Martha too!?? Well why didn't you say so!? Give me a hug brother!' 4) why did the big angry slimy monster thing fall back to Earth after being in space,..? I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen (and I've watched a couple of space programs on the telebox) superman took the creature to outer space and the government think 'hey, good chance to see if our nukes work' 5) how did lex know to put some blood on zods face in the water? Did he read a manual or is this common knowledge in metropolis,...? 6) why do mercenaries with machine guns insist on running up to guys without guns? YOU HAVE A GUN! It's like fishing with a rod and jumping in the water when you see a fish! 7) I'm bored of myself now :/
Conclusion This movie could have been incredible, I like DC because of how dark they make their movies and characters, however in this portrayal they seem to be whining more than have real issues. I hope that this movie was just a taste of better things to come, they have all of the elements but seem to lack a great storyline, also, they should take some notes from bigger and better movies like the dark night and minimalise the use of CGI rather that using it in EVERY scene Note to directors everywhere : we like relatable and realistic movies
