So I placed a suspension on my strike against DC comics for two and a half hours to see Batman V Superman. Taking my niece to see the movie as well there we sat through the trailers when Suicide Squad came on and when my niece saw Harley Quinn and the Joker she let out a very audible "Boo" which made me laugh so hard. I'm so proud of my little niece knowing she doesn't like Harley Quinn or Joker as much as I do. The movie starts and with much clichÃ© to it once again killing Bruce Wayne's parents within the first ten minutes of the movie starting. Do we really need to be shown that whenever Batman is involved in a movie; he's seventy-six years old by now if you don't know how or what compelled him to become Batman there is ample amounts of stories that will catch you up to speed. I must say that I was one of the people who was really excited that Ben Affleck got cast as Bruce Wayne/ Batman. Sure he might have had a few flops but you really can't blame those flops on him when writers should write better and directors need to well direct better as well. He's really grown in the last 10 years both as an actor and a director in his own right. He was brilliant to watch the way he went from privileged billionaire to the world's greatest detective we all know and love. I was really glad to see that his batman actually did detective work Jeremy Irons as Alfred was brilliant he bore that classic Alfred sass when he talked to Bruce one line stuck out to me perhaps an alluding to what's to come. "I fear any future Wayne's won't have much of a wine cellar left" that line had me giggling and my niece leaned over and whispered to me "Damian" and I just nodded. Seeing The Flash though that scene gave me chills more so than the rest of the movie his words from the future despite being in a dream just hit me. Now I wasn't so sure as to where I stood where Ezra Miller was concerned playing The Flash, but I think I'm on the side that thinks he can pull it off given that one scene. I think he's got it. I'm pretty sure. Gal's Wonder Woman now this is the scene that had my niece kneeling on her seat to see it better. My niece loves Wonder Woman and she was enthralled by her and I who once thought that Gal couldn't pull it off was surprised that she did a decent job. Though I will admit I wasn't fond of how much snark she had going on, Wonder Woman was quick with a quip but not full on snarky. Jessie Eisenberg's Lex Luthor felt weird it was like one moment he was the egotistical megalomaniac that is Lex Luthor. The next moment it was like he was a Mexican jumping bean hopped up on too much coffee. He didn't have that confident arrogance that Lex classically has in him. It felt like he was playing the Riddler at certain points. I halfway expected to hear him say "Riddle me this". When Lex was in the Kryptonian Genesis Ship there should have been no way he was able to take control of it by voice alone. Kryptonian society was far more advanced than human society and their tech alone would be leaps and bounds ahead of whatever we have. Lex slicing off Zod's fingerprints and using the genetic key in the way that he did should have had the tech slamming into security mode keeping Lex from taking control of the ship. Now the fight between The Trinity and Doomsday did have some issues. 1. Batman hiding behind a car while the blasts of Doomsday's heat vision were going off around him. It should have incinerated him but it didn't. 2. Wonder Woman's shield should have melted and once again incinerated her. All the magic in the world can't stop heat from burning the hell out of flesh. 3. Superman being able to hear Lois banging on the concrete wall that was blocking the exit out of the water. With all the chaos going around them despite his hearing he shouldn't have been able to zone into where she was so quickly. But over all the movie was decent sure I could go on for even much longer and could but I think I'm going to stop before I go too over. Was it all they hyped it up to be? Maybe not. Did they try to be true to the characters in which they had available to them? I think they might have. I'll give it a B rating. They could have filled in the few plot holes a little bit more and gone less into exposition. It was decent. Now I return to the Strike of DC comics cause I refuse to go to Suicide Squad while my girl Talia Al Ghul is left to rot on some shelf because DC comics doesn't have the balls to give her a comic of her own.
