How can this film be considered anything but OUTSTANDING and SUPERB!

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2016)

What a great film! The initial scenes are stunning, giving a very different perspective from what has gone before in Man of Steel. Snyder doesn't play it safe, he is creative with his story telling, the film moves at pace, and all the actors deliver. The cinematography is fantastic, and as I saw the film in 3D at a IMAX cinema, I can highly recommend this. Although I had doubts about the casting of Eisenberg as Lex Luther, he delivers a great performance. When comparing Ben Affleck's Batman to Bale's, Affleck action scenes are better than Bale's, but Bale's Bruce Wayne was a little more refined. This is a Super Hero movie with a seriousness about it, death and destruction are serious things. The movie makes the DC universe very believable and brings it right into the modern world, the action scenes are brutal and Batman's fight scenes are the best to date. The film also touches on the question of being all powerful, Superman's God like Power. This isn't new, with the analogy between Christ and Superman has been part of the Superman story as long as I know. Super Hero films don't have to be looking for laughs, they can be serious, and Superman v Batmans is a fantastic tense, action thriller. I've read criticisms of the film being incoherent, or disjointed. I disagree. The story and plot work and was clear to me. I believe the test of time will show this film to be one of the Great Super Hero films, and look forward to the next instalment....
