Don't expect too much out of the plot, just appreciate that Batman and Superman fought

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2016)

I'd like to start off by saying I'm no professional critic so please excuse my writing skills. Batman is my #1 hero, and I admit that this movie has a lot of flaws, however, I don't think the super low scores that websites like rotten tomatoes gave this movie is very deserving (mind you, rotten tomato is a website that gave Arrow season 3 100% and Sharknado an 82%). The general consensus amongst critics of this movie is the plot/story and I totally agree, the subplot of the first half of the movie seems kind of wasted and is never really addressed again once the action starts rolling, the pacing was decent, the story seems to struggle with trying to make Louis Lane relevant later on, and trying to cram in the introduction of the Justice League members. A lot of people don't like Jesse Eisenberg's Luthor but I didn't mind him that much, he fulfilled his purpose in the story and for that I can look past the goofy/insane Luthor character. Since I'm a Batman fan, I was very pleased with Ben Affleck, hell, I think he did a phenomenal job playing Bruce Wayne, and finally seeing Batman fight like the Arkham games was just heaven. I feel like Superman didn't change much from Man of Steel, his morals are still the same, but Wonder Woman and her heroine entrance was complete work of art, the whole theater cheered when she appeared. The fight batman v superman fight was amazing and do was the doomsday fight (yeah sucks that the trailer spoiled him as a surprise but hey, it was good nonetheless). Despite the flaws of this movie, I still had one hell of an experience seeing the DC Trinity on the big screen for the first time. This movie did not surpass my hype but it did not let me down either. That's what you have to keep in mind when reading these reviews from "professional" critics, because they try their best to not be biased and analyze everything objectively down to the smallest details. They pick apart what little they can find and they don't take into consideration the hard work that was put into the movie and that perhaps movies like these are catered towards a certain audience, they always write their reviews with the mindset that everybody watching this movie is the same as they are. For me, Batman v Superman was fan service and a lengthy set up towards the justice league, hell, it's right in the title. That's why I can overlook these flaws in the story and appreciate the fact that Batman and Superman fought and Wonder Woman finally have a good cinematic debut.
