MY REVIEW OF Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice! ðŸŽ¬
From the beginning we all knew DC was playing catch up with Marvel and that this film HAD to be a success to rival Marvel. Marvel have had 8 years to create there universe. DC have had 2 hours and 30 mins and it shows. It seemed as if Zack Snyder filmed his scenes got to his mixing booth and just pressed "SHUFFLE." Zack Snyder crammed in 4 movies in 1. You had the solo Batman movie, the Superman sequel, Batman v Superman and the Prequel to "The Justice League."
Let's start with Superman. I actually enjoyed Henry Cavill's Superman in this film. He portrayed actual emotion which lacked in Man of Steel. I enjoyed the premise of this story and was invested throughout. Lois Lane being the damsel in distress was quite annoying again she just seems a nuisance really now.
Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal as Lex Luthor will split the viewers down the middle. Some will hate him, some will like him. If you liked what you saw in the trailer then you should like him however if you didn't like what you saw then unfortunately not much will change. I actually started off liking him. I could see what Jesse was trying to portray however as the film progressed he started to grate on me. This wasn't the Lex Luthor I wanted in the DC Universe however it's the one we got and you just learn to live with it.
Ben Affleck as Batman was BRILLIANT! I will also hold my hands up and say I was quite sceptical when they cast Ben Affleck however he was brilliant. Now some of you may not enjoy the character due to reasons you will find out if you watch the film however I enjoyed it and felt it suited the story.
Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman really intrigued me she should of been used so much more however what I saw in the 3rd act gets me very excited for next years solo Wonder Woman film.
The story started off really promising, we see Bruce Wayne's point of view and involvement in the fight between Zod and Superman in Man of Steel. I felt it was fast paced and gripped you straight away however the next 2 hours were slow and although I understand that it needed to be done due to the universe DC are trying to create, this could of been done in such a better way.
The third act however is brilliant but felt underwhelming due to the other 2 acts. Now don't get me wrong I did enjoy this film however there are moments that let this film down. If you are a casual movie goer you may get confused with some of what's going on. This film was created for the comic book fans and I respected that. This is why I feel the critics have been harsh because they don't understand some of what was going on.
Overall Batman v Superman is an enjoyable film to watch and I recommend you seeing it, however you feel that this was a missed opportunity from DC and Marvel still remains on top.
