A good movie, but not great

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2016)

Batman V Superman is getting a lot of hate from critics because of the lack of plot and overuse of CGI. However i consider this movie to be just fine, i enjoyed the fight between Batman and Superman and found most of the performances in this movie to be superb. Sure there is problems with this movie and most of them are to do with the plot and lack there of.
Ben Affleck is fantastic in this role and i feel was a worthy successor to Christian Bale of The Dark Knight Trilogy. Henry Cavill i feel does just fine as the Man of Steel and does a good job betraying him. Gal Gadot is a fantastic addition to the cast and does a superb job playing the amazonian princess. So a lot of people were suspicious about the performance Jessie Eisenberg would give playing Superman's main enemy Lex Luther and i think he does just a fine job like Henry Cavill. Amy Â Adams i found was kind of in the movie a bit to much and she wasn't really necessary to the plot. Jeremy Irons i found to be a great new Alfred who it more experienced and i actually found myself loving his character for the duration of this film. So all together the cast was really solid and one of the best parts of the entire movie.Â
So the whole introduction to Doomsday i felt was completely unnecessary, he was introduced a bit too early in the DCEU, if he was maybe added into the Justice League movies it would have made a little more sense and i think doing that would also have given us more time to take in the fight between Batman and Superman which is the reason most of us saw the movie i mean the title is Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. One bad ass aspect about the Doomsday fight scene was having Wonder Woman cutting off Doomsday's arm, i honestly made me love the Wonder Woman character a little bit more. Superman dying was i guess the biggest thing that would have shocked the audience and honestly me. Before i went into theater's i didn't think they were gonna kill off Superman but now that i look back at it the Superman and Doomsday fight from the comic did also kill him off so that was pretty faithful to the comics. Another thing is how the Batman and Superman fight scene was very reminiscent to the Dark Knight Returns. Batman does beat Superman and if it wasn't for Lois Lane would have been killed. I was glad that they didn't involve the Joker and they just left a small hint to him instead of giving him a role in the movie which was originally going to happen. Batman straight up kills people in this movie which was quite strange to see in the live action universe but it is quite understandable, you know Bruce Wayne hasÂ gotten older and is pretty sick of criminals so he makes sure they stay down. you could understand the reasoning behind why Bruce Wayne/Batman hated the Man of Steel, you learn why in the fight between Superman and Zod in which pretty much the whole of Metropolis is obliterated and no one could really do anything about it.Â
Overall i didn't hate this movie, it was a bit disappointing but that may have been because i set too high expectations, so overall i'd give this movie a 7.5 out of 10.
