Zach Snyder's Batman Is Legit, Unfortunately The Rest Of The Movie Isn't

Rating: 6/10 (24 March 2016)

Zach Snyder's vision of Batman is soo bad ass. Ben Affleck, my apologies for ever doubting you. This dark knight is a violent, gritty beast, with no rules, and I loved every minute of it. (Side note: Affleck got crazy swole for this role. Mad respect.) Jeremy Irons similarly slayed as Alfred, who is a much more morally ambiguous and hands on Alfred then we've seen in previous films. If this had been an R-rated standalone movie of just Batman, It would've beaten out The Dark Knight as the greatest incarnation of the capped crusader of all time, and I love Nolan's movies so that's saying a lot.
Now for the bad news. The rest of the movie is tolerable at best, and at it's worst (I'm looking at you Doomsday) it's an absolute mess. The last 45mins of the movie suffered from the same issues Man Of Steel had. There were no stakes (since most involved in the fight were immortal), just mindless destruction, and tiring visual effects (which look terrible by the way). If you're a Batman fan like me, I would recommend you check this film out for the parts with, well, Batman. The rest of it is weak sauce. Just be prepared for that.
