The Most Epic, Complex, Visually Arresting Superhero Movie Since "The Dark Knight" Trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2016)

Greetings from Lithuania.
This is a short review of the "Extended, Ultimate Cut". I didn't saw the theatrical version.
So. Afer so much hype and some much negativity (mainly) since the release of the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" i found (not entirely to my surprise) that this movie is, simply - amazing. I haven't been looking to see "Extended, Ultimate Cut" (and this is the only version i have seen and it was on my 2m x 2m Blue Ray projector meant for watching movies with all the sound system ready to roll) to be this rich, complex, visually stunning movie. This is the most "In Your Face Marvel flicks (except for the first "Iron Man" and "Guardians of The Galaxy" which were great)" superhero movie i was waiting, although i kinda didn't knew i was.
This is a splendid movie from the get-go. The story itself is so epic, so big in it's scale and scope that it should put to a shame all other superhero movies currently in a market. Ben Affleck absolutely kills it as a Batman. As much as i love Christian Bale's interpretation as the Caped Crusader, the latest performance by Ben Affleck is as stunning as it is. All other performances were superb, on spot. Directing is amazing - not a dragging second for a pure almost 180 minutes.
One of the many things i did enjoyed in this movie first off all was the complex and rich story. This is as far as it goes from the "first act (when our hero is being introduced), second act (when this hero becomes a "super-dude") and the third act (when this super-dude meets "super-bad-villian" and lots of things and people (which are never shown) are being blown off for real good).
Action scenes were superb - it is very clear that many of the scenes were created as real as it gets - many real size locations, models - and it enriches this world, and makes it real and plausible (and were are talking about a movie named "Batman v Superman"(!)).
Overall. If you are a fan of "one time seeing superhero flicks from one major company were are all know" - this picture isn't for you. And to summarize it: please. Warner Bros - bring us superhero movies like this more often and like you did with this picture: take your time. Enrich it, make it look as real and plausible and gritty as it gets. Make it's running time not according to a simultaneously ending popcorn box of a "fan boys" in multiplexes, but a one that reveals its story and superbly creates new dimensions for a sequels - sooner or later you will get your money back with a profit. "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Extended Ultimate Edition" is the closest movie that reminded me of THE best superhero trilogy off all time "The Dark Knight". It is one of the years best films.
Now you can start throwing rocks at me.
