I was so afraid that this movie would be like a Marvel movie. Don't get me wrong, I love the Marvel movies, but I don't want to see a DC movie that is done that way. Luckily it did not. This movie is DC comic books and DC anime's coming to life on the big screen, done the right way. The story telling combined with the music is something that has never been seen or done before with super heroes on the big screen.
This movie addresses the dark side of dealing with these type of humans/aliens very well. It shows the political and emotional issues from all perspectives.
As a comic books and anime fan I really appreciate the story and how they make this movie their own but keeping true to the comic books.
Ben Affleck is definitely now the one and only Batman for me. He doesn't play Batman or Bruce Wayne, he makes you believe he is Batman and Bruce Wayne. Henry Cavill was superb and convinced me this is how Superman would react and would handle these different difficult situations. Henry Cavill showing Superman's emotions was overwhelming. Gal Gadot is an awesome Wonder woman. Jesse Eissenberg was a whole different Lex Luthor, but he managed to show this dark soul of Lex Luthor, which I found refreshing and modernized. The rest of the cast was magnificent but I have to say that Holly Hunter's performance owned the screen every time she was on.
For the people who do not read comic books, it will still be a very good movie unless you expect it to be a Marvel Movie.
DC story telling is darker, and how strangely it may sound, it is a more realistic take on superheroes. The story is told "comic book style" in the movie, so it will jump back and forth, from character to character in the movie. I read some reviews that said the story was all over the place, but I can reassure you it's not. It is a comic book way of story telling. There are 3 story lines. 1) Superman/Clark Kent, 2) Batman/Bruce Wayne and 3) Lex Luthor. The thread in the story is Wonder Woman. The movie will jump from one story line to the other and all will come together.
If you are going to see this movie and compare it with the Marvel movies, don't. Go see this movie with an open mind. Don't expect a buddy movie, or a feel good movie or an all action movie with a lot of humor. This movie comes close to reality as it can get concerning superheroes comic books.
I've seen this movie 2 times already and the second time I saw it, I enjoyed it even so much more than the first time. I'm going to see this movie for a third time and I'll definitely will go a couple times more.
I love this movie, it's a work of art..
