The fan base is as divided as ever

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2016)

Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice has left the internet in ruin with endless arguing over whether or not the movie is actually good in a fashion that is eerily similar to what we saw with Man of Steel in 2013. The question is whether or not it is all worth it.
Batman v Superman is in no way a perfect movie in fact it is a mess overall. Between obligatory cameos from other Justice League members, Lex Luthor plotting and Doomsday showing up to destroy everything in sight the whole concept of Batman fighting Superman almost feels like a subplot in its own movie. That said though all of the various different things that are thrown at the screen in this movie are all pretty cool in my opinion. Ben Affleck is an AMAZING Batman as well as Bruce Wayne. Henry Cavil though a bit under utilized as a character does a great job following up on Man of Steel. Jesse Eisenburg did a great job of portraying an insane madman and Gal Gadot did what her character needed her to do.
Whether or not all of the love and the hate for this movie is warranted or not is really not up for anyone to decide. Batman is not afraid to Kill his enemies. The tone is dark and gritty in a movie that stars Superman. Lex Luthor isn't a calm and collected genius. These are all things that are very different from what DC comic fans are used to. If you don't like these things then you won't like this movie. If your like me and you love seeing all of these characters in a real world setting dealing with the realistic struggles that these characters would have then you will like this movie. In the end Batman v Superman is a movie that almost seems like it was made specifically to divide the fan base in half.
For me personally Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice despite it's flaws is another win for the DCCU.
