Enjoyable? Totally. A good film? Not so much.

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2016)

Now before anything, I've been waiting for this movie since it was announced. I'm a DC fanboy and the darker the movie, the more it amuses my palette. Also, I ask everyone to go watch the movie without watching or reading anything even related to it. Getting to it, The movie was totally worth everything. This is the superhero movie we all deserve, the one we were waiting for. The first half feels like a good thriller. The script is tight, it keeps you on the edge of the seat as things get dark and intense. The second half, storytelling mostly goes for a toss, as everyone tightens their fists. I feel like I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn't seen a single trailer. The pacing of the movie just doesn't work, don't know if the screenplay is to be blamed or the editing. Minutes have been wasted just pushing plots for future movies, though the fanboy in me was dancing, it wrecks BvS as a standalone movie. Now Zack Snyder, never lets you forget that he is the director of the movie. The movie is a Visual Treat, many a times a beautiful mess. You can count the number of times he chooses style over substance. I wouldn't have preferred any one else to bring all that action to life, but then the number of missed opportunities is too many. Ben Affleck is the best on screen batman. I couldn't have asked for anything more. He surpasses Keaton's Wayne as well. Henry Cavill was as good as the Man of Steel, and Gal Gadot nails Wonder Woman. Coming to the character with all my favorite scenes, Lex Luthor. Now this isn't your comic book Luthor. He is umm, Batshit crazy? Loved how all the characters were developed and treated, Superman's alienated god was really well done. Though Batman is overly sensitive to everything. Mainly because of all those little hints given throughout the first half. (Just to set up Batfleck's solo movie, everything will probably be explained then.) The soundtrack is on point (Loved wonder woman's theme), no complaints with cinematography too. Some shots were incredible. The IMAX is totally worth it. All the costumes look amazing, never mind the CGI character.
Overall, I loved the movie. I'm probably watching it in IMAX again.
