A tedious plot with a decent climax

Rating: 6/10 (29 March 2016)

First of all not as bad as critics say, they may had expected something closer to marvel universe and for that reason did not receive much praise.
As for the film it self. Take in mind that is tedious, like a way to long prologue to something epic to come (I hope).
Ben Affleck makes a decent role as Bruce and also Batman,also in my personal opinion contradicting the popular belief Jesse Eisenberg makes a good interpretation of Lex Luthor: manic, chaotic and irreverent,we had to much eloquent "Luthors" in the past to explode the trope more, if you read the most remarkable comics in the franchise, you'll notice that the idea of ​​the character in the film is not so far from the source of inspiration.
Speaking of source of inspiration, it has much similarity in "The Dark Knight Returns" and "Superman:Doomsday" If you had read the graphic novels and/or you watched the animated movies and you liked them, very probably you will enjoy the movie.
In neoclassical* tradition of DC films (*by "neoclassic" I mean the Nolan and Snyder movies) The film is dark and gritty, perhaps too much for its own good, the development is very slow and tedious, the characters have ambiguous motivations, and it has a very confusing story narrative.
The climax and the outcome on the other hand are decent, but that fact don't take away the bad taste left by the rest of the film, mostly by not giving a very surprising twist or having all that tedious plot to worth something.
That doesn't mean the film is horribly bad, as I said before, the film sells itself as a long prologue (this is clear by the "Dawn of Justice" title) and it's designed to be watched that way. Just take in mind that it lacks many action scenes and most of the plot unfolds in a slow and tedious dialogue, if you are able to accept that or if you are a fan of DC graphic novels, probably you'll enjoy this movie, but if you are expecting a "Marvel type" movie with tons of action, special effects and a basic argument, It will be better if you skip this movie and wait to see if the DC universe improves in the future.
To conclude: Is just decent.
