Batman V Superman , man of steel #2

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2016)

I have been awaiting this film release for 3 years, With each trailer I have got more and more hyped. Maybe that's the downside to the movie itself. Why set up something in one direction, to go in another? As I drove to the cinema I was recalling some of the negative reviews about it. I decided to forget all the trailers and judge the movie for what it is. Not my own opinion either being reassured or let down by the experience.
Man of steel for me set up the beginning of super mans journey to become the 'superman that every one knows'. The way they reference the future of krypton being part of the human race, his genetics being the seed. B v S continues to tell his story ( albeit at a pace some dislike), he is doubting himself and at one point becomes who he is destined to be ( telling Louis he loves her) his sacrifice (and rebirth) makes the world and the meta humans realise no statues are needed, HOPE is part of who they are, and what he stands for is humanity. Justice league part 1 will continue the superman story, the world will react to him differently. Heroes will want to support him. Yes B V S is a please all and open up the DC universe. But there is subtle story lines that continue to thread. Leaving the film it took me a good day to digest it. I will watch it again. Not every film is made to be a complete package, just leave preconceptions at the door and enjoy it for what it is.
