A Masterpiece that sets up the DCCU in a Epic way!

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2016)

Although the pacing in ACT 1 of the movie definitely seems very out of whack the first time you watch it, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a visual, action packed masterpiece and serves off as a great launch pad of the DCCU. This movie set out to accomplished everything it wanted to do. First of all, Warner Bros establishes Ben Affleck's Batman extremely well and Ben's performance as the Dark Knight is definitely first class. I think after watching this movie Ben Affleck will without a doubt be recognized as the greatest Batman adaptation ever. Second, Henry Cavill knocks it out of the park with his take on The Man of Steel. We all know that Christopher Reeves was a great Superman, but Cavill's take on the iconic character is straight out of the Comics and he is able to make the switch from Clark Kent to Kal-El with ease. Third, DC brings the Amazonian Princess to the silver screen for the first time and she is indeed wonderful! Wonder Woman is not all the focal point of the movie, but with the small amount of time she has she is able to steal every scene she's in and leave you wanting more, but this is Batman v Superman so you will have to wait another year for her. Fourth and probably the most important thing, Warner Brothers introduces you to the other members of the Justice League, while still keeping the focal point on the conflict between Batman and Superman. Fifth, The threat that is supposed to be big enough to bring the two greatest super heroes of all time together is established in the form of Doomsday, with Lex Luthor being the power behind the conflict of these two titans. Realizing that they need each other to bring down this unstoppable threat or their world will be destroyed, the World's Finest finally come together on the Silver Screen along with Wonder Woman to finally unite the DC Trinity. I could go on and on why this movie is so great even though it obviously has it flaws as I stated before. Bottom line is true comic book movie fans will walk away from this film wanting more as the story paints a great picture of the coming doom for these characters. If you appreciate great comic movies and the Batman v Superman will quickly have you wanting to get back in the ticket line and watch it again and again. Take it from me I've already scene it 4 times. And will be better every time you watch it.
