bizarre story

Rating: 7/10 (24 March 2016)

I'm not going into what is right and wrong concerning comics and the flick itself because I'm not into those comics. I went to a private screening at the world premiere, the place was full with Batman geeks vs Superman geeks, the T-shirts showed it all so their reaction could tell a lot.
I did like Batman, The Dark Knight (2008). For me the best so far into the franchise. Superman wasn't my thing but to see those two together it was worth the wait. Have seen it once over at the reception you could easily spot two camps, the pro's and the contra's and no in-between. And I must say that i really had to think about what I just saw. The opening I could dig with, again, the history of Bruce Wayne seeing his parents being killed. But then Bruce falls into some kind of cave and is levitated by bats. From there on this flick takes a weird turn. You move over to Doomsday and the world being destroyed and then suddenly Superman appears from the sky, a bit hard to take.
Of course they become enemies but towards the end they do fight together against Lex the bad guy. Once they are out for a fight the story goes really awkward with monster coming in and Wonder Woman showing up.
The effects used are stunning but sometimes it's really dark, especially in the world (Gotham) of the Bat. And things are filmed in extreme close-ups so you don't know exactly what you are seeing. When Batman is fighting that is great with all his moves and equipment used. Superman is great too, flying away and having his special eyes but I can understand that some will have their doubts about this flick.
Not the thing I thought I was going to see but above mediocre, that I can tell.
