Did not disappoint, Action packed, dark,gripping and highly enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2016)

Before going to see this at the BFI cinema in London, I had read quite a lot of bad reviews and saw a lot of negative press. I must admit when I first heard Affleck was cast as batman and JE as Lex Luthor, I wasn't best pleased. However, I went to see it with an open mind and found myself on the edge of my seat throughout the majority of the film.
The action scenes were the best I have seen in a long time. I enjoyed the story line and found it relatively easy to follow and personally absolutely loved Ben Affleck as batman, I would however have liked to have seen more of Lex Luthor however I feel with future films in the pipeline my needs will be satisfied.
The ONE AND ONLY thing that I didn't like was Wonderwoman. I feel she was massively overpowered and she was only really present in the film to give the feminists some sort of high ground. Nevertheless her character was contradictory, as Gal Gadot as we all know is a very attractive woman and can be seen throughout the film in revealing outfits particularly when dressed as wonder woman?
Regardless of this, I highly enjoyed it and would recommend to all DC fans. I've seen reviews saying the film is too dark to accommodate to the average movie goer... What so be more like avengers? the biggest disappointment of the 21st century? full of childish humor and a ridiculous plot, as if the first one wasn't bad enough, the second one was something else. WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH.
In my opinion, the DC world has a darker tone to it, its better suited to a older age generation (lets not forget the hanging in TDR), so to to tone down the darkness and destroy the franchise by making it child friendly and quite frankly cringe worthy film would be ludicrous!
8.5 / 10 for me, great film and I hope they continue to make more like this.
