It was more Dawn of Justice than Batman v Superman

Rating: 7/10 (25 March 2016)

As a big fan of DC's animated movies, comic books and characters I went into the theater hyped up and ended up disappointed. Ben Affleck's Batman was the best part of this movie, Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill were great in their roles also. The odd one out was Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, a far different take from the Luthor I know and love, but I respect the decision to do something different with the character. The action and CGI was great but the movie itself was a mess. The other Justice League members were shoehorned in, Lex Luthor's "master plan" relied on every piece falling together perfectly and the whole "Batman v Superman" aspect would've been avoided had Bruce listened to what Superman had to say which is really dumb directing in my opinion. It had nearly no character development and many scenes felt out of place. The more you think about the movie, the worse it becomes, so I've decided to view it as a popcorn action flick and give it a 7/10 for all the great explosions, the good portrayal of the trinity and because I couldn't give it a 6.5.
