Great action terrible storyline

Rating: 6/10 (8 March 2020)

I really enjoyed Man of Steel when it came out in 2013 and when it was announced that Batman V Superman was being made I was hoping for the same level of action and destruction with a decent storyline that would connect the two characters together and form the DCU Justice League movie franchise with this as it's introduction and while it did kind of meet these expectations the end result was just a little bit off making it not the best movie or introduction to these characters working together and not the best introduction for Wonder Woman's character.
The movie tries way to hard to be cool and interesting with it's action and story and while yeah the action scene's when they actually start are cool and look visually stylish and impactful the story really let's it down with a ton of story plot holes that make it so the whole fight could of been avoided by just simply talking to each other but they never do because Batman just decides Superman has to die in a universe where he let's Joker live even after killing so many people and even Robin it's weak character building just to get them both to fight when in the comics they fight even when they have been allies for years.
The movies story is made up of a ton of different storylines from the comics and a few animated movies all glued together to make one unrecognisable mess with way too may sub plots it would of been fine if they just focused on the actual Batman V Superman part but instead it crams in Lex Luther, Doomsday, Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, a state senator and a storyline about people being afraid of Superman there's just so much going on in the movie that by the time Batman and Superman do fight your mentally exhausted from trying to keep up with the story.
Visually the movie looks amazing with great CGI and special effects the fight scenes are really fun to watch and are enjoyable but sadly it takes the movie forever to get to it.
Casting is almost perfect everyone expect Jessie Isenburg as Lex Luther because he just isn't the right person to play a character who's main traits are Technological genius, business tycoon, evil villain and is calm and confident nothing against Jessie Isenburg but he's a comedy actor not a dramatic actor and his performance alone makes this movie hard to watch.
I recommend watching this movie if your a fan of Superman, Batman and the DCU and the comics just don't expect the best interpretation of Batman V Superman because you will be let down.
