Much better than I expected

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2016)

I was not looking forward to this movie for so many reasons. I thought the Dark Knight movies nailed Batman's character unlike the previous versions. I didn't want a new version. Much less a different actor portraying. Also Batman vs Superman, how could that be entertaining? One can fly, the other has flying toys. I just couldn't imagine it. But my son convinced me to go. I loved it. The story line, the actors (all of them), the fight scenes, the actors - did I mention?! If you like Watchmen, you'll like this. All 3 super heroes, have amazing bodies to boot. By the way, both women/non- super heroes in this movie, do a fantastic job. The best lines were really from those 2 women, mother and girlfriend of Superman. Gal Gadot/Wonderwoman was a nice surprise and almost steals the show. Lex Luther was psychotic and believable. I'm old enough to remember watching Gene Hackman in the very first superman movie, at the movie theaters. That was very campy but fun. This is much darker and this Lex is believable as a sociopath. One more thing, this movie with three superheroes and more is a million times better than Avengers. In the Avengers they seem to concentrate on Ironman, not my fave. Plus they throw too much at you. The movies seem scattered. Captain America being the exception. So anyway, go check out this movie, if you like this genre. You won't be disappointed.
