Batman Vs Superman

Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice review here we go.
THE FIGHT I'm not gonna beat around the bush on this one. It made me feel nothing. Given if you watched the movie you'll understand why. I knew no one was gonna kill anyone and it was gonna end in them making up and fighting doomsday. ( The fight doesn't even occur until about an hour and a half into the film, it only last for about 15 minutes.) Why Superman didn't just take Batman's armor off is a mystery to me. Even so before the fight Kent pleads Wayne to listen to him and mutters something about Lex Luthor. Batman throws the first punches and Superman is doing his best not to fight but at one point it seems like superman is just angrily throwing Batman around for nothing.
PLOT
Hahahaha. "Plot" I found the movie playing less like a movie and more like a weird Terrence Mellick's Knight Of Cups movie. The editing was off and I didn't understand what the heck was happening until like 40 minutes in. It seemed like the style was more show don't tell approach. Did it work? I'm not sure but I understood for the most part. The trailers sure did ruin parts of the movie which is completely why I hate them. Once is enough for me. The whole Doomsday introduction could've been huge if it wasn't spoiled as it was in the trailers. Doomsday was cool and I thought it was neat how he grew more powerful throughout the scene but like I said still could've been better introduced.
CHARACTERS
Let's talk about batman. Batman has been in this business for about 20 years. He's as far as we see in the DC's universe we get as a veteran. Yes he used a gun in a scene or two but that's okay. This isn't a Nolan movie and we already established he's not a hero nor is he a villain. He's batman. Meaning he doesn't care. Affleck does the role justice. ( I appreciate a good pun)The suit was pretty legit and it fit the movie well. They clearly reveal his reasons for opposing superman and it's well in reason.
Superman Henry Cavil is back. Man of Steel dealt with Superman's growth into well Superman. It seems like in BVS, Superman is still sloppy as a hero leaving people dead as collateral damage. Not gonna focus too much here without spoiling stuff but his character could've done so much more.
Wonder Women
What do I say? She was fantastic. Gal Gadot had much elegance throughout her scenes and even towards the ending with the fight against Doomsday, her smirks as she's thrown out show she's done this before and it's not her first rodeo. Solid character with the amount of time she's given in the film and definitely exited to see her in her standalone film.
Lex Luthor
Having Jesse Einsberg cast as Lex was odd to me but after watching the movie I guess it wasn't too bad. Luthor is shown as a Zuckerburg character which makes total sense considering today's modern society. At times however it seems like Luthor has a zero Understanding of personal space to the point where he feeds someone a hard candy. Talk about a creep. His whole motive behind stopping Superman is well non existent. There's literally no reason given as too why he's so set on stopping and destroying the man of steel. How he created doomsday? I have no clue. For a dude who just practically crash coursed the entire Kryptonian history he sure knew what he was doing.
OVERALL
The movie suffers in the first 40 minutes but still it's interesting enough to keep you interested. The last hour is where the movie really does pick up with the nonstop action you expect from this film. The tease for the justice league was kinda forcefully put in there and held pretty much zero importance in the story ( but heck I got excited when I saw that) Overall the lack of story makes it hard to appreciate the film as whole but of course the action covers it up. There are some major plot holes that hurt the character's development thus hurting the story. There's of course a bit more to this story but since this review of mine is spoiler free I'll avoid discussing all that. Note: The movie was still pretty cool if you ask me. Watch it before having any judgments then make your decision. Rating : Solid 6 to a light 7.
