LET ME DEFEND THE CRITICS  but with an 8/10 rating!

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2016)

I'll try not to deal with the usual stuff that critics or fans are talking about. Mostly on how one should understand BvS.
I've practically read MOST (if not all) the critics review incldg youtube vids & have also read almost a thousand FAN reviews before I came to watch it last night.
Believe me, I am by far one of the MOST excited to see BvS Too excited to have bought & GIVEN away 15 tickets to treat my friends & I'm willing to bet most haven't even done half of what I did.
Here's a comic film I've waited for 30 LONG years & have watched the 3 main trailers almost 100x & I was destined to prove the critics wrong but now... I understand.
& I hope you do too. But it doesn't mean that I didn't like the film.. & If you won't take it TOO seriously & literally, most will enjoy it too. Box Office figures WON'T LIE.
All the while I thought that It's just simple, either you get it or you don't get it.. but in this case, I'm afraid I got caught up right smack in the middle.
I understood the critics well when they complained about the Plot, Editing, Character build up, Seriousness & tone, etc etc.
Zack's DIRECTION as a Director is different compared to the likes of Chris Nolan, James Cameron, Ron Howard, Robert Zemeckis, to name a few.
Zack is of a different league, admittedly being a COMIC FREAK as he is, most esp working with Geoff Johns (iconic comic writer) & David Goyer on BvS, they set this film miles apart from the typical standard Oscar AWARD type of how a film should be presented.
There were inconsistencies in the way the story was told & the only way to understand these is to wait for the release of the much awaited DVD release and though we are still 3&1/2 months away from it, the addtl. 30min R-rated bonus scenes may IRON OUT these flaws but then again, this should be long fixed in the theatrical cut.
For the BvS plot was almost loosely based on how it would be presented in the COMICS. Again, the Zack, Goyer & Geoff tandem.
If you've watched MOS recently, (I just did) , this is MOSTLY an MOS sequel so It's the tone that began with MOS (dark) and now with Batman in it, quoting Zack, "It is what it is" It's supposed to be dark! Again, for a regular movie goer, if you're not so familiar with DC characters (villains & heroes) you will certainly GET LOST and ALIENATED watching BvS because the film tends to show visions/dreams of some revelations from certain DC characters & at times its presented QUICKLY that many tend to miss..
To appreciate this film more, one should be Acquainted & FAMILIAR with some DC characters or one would be surprised to see IRRELEVANT characters popping up every now & then. IRRELEVANT FOR NOW that is To many who find it hard to relate and connect to BvS, we should understand that DC has its OWN WORLD. Marvel's characters are mostly based in FACTUAL cities (e.g - Spiderman & Fantastic 4 are based in NewYork). The feeling of what it's like having these heroes in OUR OWN universe.
Whereas DC characters have Metropolis, Gotham City, Themyscara (W.Woman), Central City (Flash), Atlantis (Aquaman). FICTIONAL UNIVERSE so better not take it too heavily.
Dialogues & script were not bad. To me almost every movie has at least a few lines that will STAND OUT & be remembered & it was mostly uttered by the genius Luthor.
As for the actors, well to each his own.. I personally thought there were no subpar actors. All have finely executed their JOB. Their JOB, get it? Why an 8/10 rating? The reality of the most scenes, the fight sequences, Batman himself, and most of the effects is mostly what makes up for a popcorn COMIC movie that would click & though it is NOWHERE near as rich & deep as Chris Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, it still deserves at least a SOLID 8 rating for a GUTSY movie. The Production team for BvS certainly has the BALLS to create one of this kind, combining at least 3 comic stories all rolled up into one film is a very BOLD & AMBITIOUS move.
I admit, I NEED to see this film maybe a couple more times coz I know i've missed some infos. I know many have coz there were so much going on in there. I have already read some 50 ANSWERS from other credible sites though I'd still rather see it for myself & enjoy some revelations.
I feel the NEED to watch it again so the more I'll understand it. Then the more ill WANT it. I NEED to WANT this film! Does is sound mildly pathetic? BvS should DEFINITELY be watched by MOST comic fans & movie fans alike. Is it an Epic? Most say it is & even if it receives the title say.. the most criticized comic movie of all time, it still belongs undeniably among the FUTURE of comic movie CLASSIC & should definitely be on everyone's DVD collection.
