A Very Good movie but struggles with the plot

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2016)

First of all, I encourage people to go see the movie and not be put off by some negative reviews. Reading some of the other reviews I am astonished at the reception of this movie. Some of the critics and user reviews have been a little harsh in my opinion. Ben Afflecks performance as Bruce Wayne/Batman is remarkable and to date the best and most accurate iteration of the character.The opening 15 minutes was tremendous, and the acting ability of Affleck really conveys the hatred and anger of Bruce Wayne. Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman also is very good and those 2 characters are in my opinion the standout characters in this film. However, I must say that Zack Snyder must take a lot of the blame for the negative reception from some. He fails to tell a coherent plot and for the first hour we jump from subplot to another from scene to scene. However, I do not feel the lack of a clear and structured plot is deserving of such harsh criticism. The lack of plot is more than made up for with the actual Batman and Superman fight, the end fight and the performances from the cast. Another stand out point of this movie that I feel is not getting enough mention is the Batman car chase and the Batman fight scene against 20 men. Those two portions of the film were fantastic and left me in amazement. Overall, I would be more than happy to see this film again and I again encourage people not to be put off. This film really is a spectacle and the action sequences coupled with good CGI are a thrill to watch.
