Not great, not bad...Simply O.K.

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2016)

This was the movie that everyone has been waiting for. So it's completely natural to have extremely high expectations for this movie. Given that it's the 2 most iconic superheroes colliding in one huge blockbuster movie. Especially after "The Dark Knight Trilogy" , people were very anxious to see Ben Affleck's portrayal of Batman. Unfortunately, this movie certainly does not deliver. It had all the elements of becoming such a great movie, but ended up being extremely sloppy and poorly edited. Of course, there are some positive about the movie, but they do not outweigh the negatives. Here are the Details
Let's begin with what's good about this movie. Ben Afflecks portrayal as Batman was incredible. This version of batman is a much more dark, menacing, and merciless Batman than that of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. He absolutely proved doubters wrong (myself included). Definitely looking forward to the upcoming movie "The Batman", which will be directed by Ben Affleck as well. The action sequences in the movie were really well choreographed, with stunning CGI. Will keep you on the edge of your seat and remind you a lot of the action sequences in 300 and Watchmen.
The BAD... Let me start of by saying that the 3 trailers for this movie are too revealing, taking away some of the element of surprise and some key moments in the movie. So if you haven't watched any of them, then you just might like the movie a lot more. The way the story jumps from one scene to the next is unbelievably sloppy. A moment keeps building up and just when you think that a climatic moment is about to occur, it doesn't. Instead, it takes you to a completely unrelated and slow scene which kills the momentum. You almost feel like it's a mash-up of 2 different directors in 1 movie. One of the most disappointing things about this movie is that it doesn't focus on the main plot of the story, which is why Batman and Superman are fighting. Instead, they keep focusing on characters which really do not have any real impact on the audience. The audience wants the main focus to be on JUST these 2 iconic characters, but they fail to do so, leaving the audience with a very poor story. The audience is supposed to have a hard time deciding which superhero is right and wrong. Instead, you actually reach a point where you don't even care which superhero wins the conflict due to the very poor buildup. Another disappointing point is that this movie is DEFINITELY not for everyone (especially children), unlike "Captain America: Winter Soldier", which is definitely a movie that both comic fans and non- coming fans (and children). I would say that the only people who would love this movie are the hardcore comic fans.
Overall, I definitely feel like this movie has NOT lived up to its hype and expectation. The movie has its good moments, but mostly bad. I definitely feel like Zack Snyder will not be too happy about the way he made this movie. It's a shame, because this should have been a 9/10, but to me it barely qualifies as a 7/10.
