Like reading your first ever comic book.

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2016)

Going in to this movie i had crazy expectations. Ever since i heard about the production i have been eagerly waiting to watch it on the big screen. And on a lot of levels it did NOT disappoint.
Seeing 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' i was rather afraid of it spoiling the new image batman has had in cinema and pop-culture after 'The Dark Knight'-trilogy, and i was afraid i would be biased by 'The Dark Knight' watching this movie and comparing them while watching.
I was wrong.
Ben Affleck as Batman in this new series of movies works out just fine, he has the empty glance of a man in hardship seeking redemption through trying to save a city beyond saving, coming up against his biggest challenge yet, a corrupt symbol of hope for all of man.. a false God.. Superman. Ben Affleck really plays his part in this movie adding a darker layer to the beloved Bat. The action and cinematography are just as you would expect from Zack Snyder. The movie really has the feel of reading a comic book, the imagery bursting from the screen, trapping you in a new world. Great fighting and setup of scenes. It's almost like being 13 years old and watching '300' for the first time, just gasping at the screen, having your inner child bursting there and again at the mind-blowing action and especially the fighting between our two heroes. *Nerdgasm*
However.. If you walk into the theater expecting an intelligent storyline, an emotional journey taking you up and down like on a roller-coaster with characters that we love, not because of the action they give us, but because of their intentions, thoughts and lines, like Christopher Nolan brought to the screens with 'The Dark Knight'-trilogy.. You will be disappointed. This movie is nothing like that, but it doesn't need to be. It's a independent storyline, bringing life to the epic Justice League that we all know from our earlier years.
This is a movie for everyone who enjoys comic books today, or enjoyed them as a little kid sitting tucked in bed with flashlight reading about batman, superman, wonder woman, aquaman, the flash or any of the other DC heroes after bedtime.
A Superhero movie with no equal, just like reading your first ever comic book.
8.5/10 (9 since IMDb won't let me.)
