Greatest movie of all time: Not so much but surely a one time watch

Rating: 7/10 (11 September 2016)

This movie was the most anticipated movie of 2016. The movie is directed by Zack Snyder, who is one of the best action movie director out there.
I'll break this review into three parts:
Firstly, the direction:
The movie is directed by Zack Snyder who in my opinion is the best action movie director. Yet again he has directed the ACTION scenes perfectly. Note that I've highlighted ACTION, and the reason is that other then those CGI fights the movie is not well organized the events have not taken place in the order as they should have (the part about batman's parents would've been much better had it been placed after Superman says that he needed to save Martha).Then there are errors like how the hell did Lex know that Clark Kent is Superman and Wayne is Batman. The slow pace of the movie in the first half is tiring. I guess the director did too much of character development of the wrong person ( Take for instance Lois's character which should have had less screen time then Lex's character). Moving on to the positives, well I liked the way the other members of Justice League were presented on screen. Their timing was just perfect. As always I loved the CGI. The final fight was damn too great. And it got the whole theater cheering. Also the "BATMAN V SUPERMAN" fight was superb. Another thing I personally liked was the way it ended. I guess it left all of us wondering how will Superman be presented in the upcoming project. Concluding, Snyder was good but could've been better ( I think Nolan could've directed the movie in a much better way then Snyder).
Moving on to Acting:
Ben Affleck (one of my all time favorite actor) portrayed Batman here. I had high expectations from him which were fulfilled as well. Talking about his character I personally think he was antagonist as well as the hero in the movie. I liked the way he was presented in the movie. I hated Henry Cavill's same expression throughout the movie ( It was necessary that his expression changed little as he was a god but still some events required a scary or the terrified expression, especially when Martha was in danger). Moving on I liked Jesse Eisenberg's acting but his role was not well written and neither was his evil character brought out (You never get that strange evil feeling during Lex's screen time). Well next is Amy Adams she was never too good or bad to be truthful, she was average and yes she was given some useless shi***y screen time ( I hated it ). Doomsday's character was awfully developed rest was CGI which was awesome. Well I saved the best for the last, Yes you guessed it right, its Gal Gadot who plays Wonder Woman. She is beautifully written though lacking some screen time. Gadot looks as stunning as ever in the movie. I liked her the most.
Last on the list is story:
To all those who think that the story is dark I'd say stop whining about it, its not some marvel movie with crap humour. I loved the dark tone of the story. Secondly, Batman's dark character was great, the way he becomes negative and positive is good. The first half is boring but I was awestruck with the way the story moves forward in second half. The parliament incident was well executed. Batman taking kryptonite was well presented and acted as well. Overall the story is good but is awfully presented by the director ( looks like he was only concentrating on CGI.
Talking about the bigger battle then BvS ( I mean CW vs BvS ):
Its like eating in two awful restaurant on different days and finding one of them to be better. Well here the better one is BvS. Why? Because the story is better, CGI is better, timing of fights is better and at least it doesn't end at the point where it started.
Ending here, the movie is not the best superhero movie ( my favorite is "The Dark Knight") but yes its a one time watch and more importantly the better movie of the two franchises.
P.S: You will enjoy the CGI if you watch it in IMAX 3D.
