Be your own critic! Love it Hate it or even in the middle

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2016)

Batman v Superman is not perfect. But then again what movie really is giving a 10 to a movie is quite hard because while I can say one movie was a 10 to me could be a 6 to someone else. I love comics and love all comic book movies even Marvel ones. I've had issues in the past with Avengers: AOU, and even with Thor the first movie. But critics seemed to have panned this movie a lot, and I can see sort of why, but also why not. In the end be your own critic and make up your mind of what you think, and thats the beauty of being your own critic, you may like it and not every review may ring true.
First off the movie introduces Batman played spectacularly by Ben Affleck. We get to see the Dark Knight on screen in probably the best costume inception ever and even fighting style wise we get to see him plow down bad guys greatly, being fast and also brutal while taking down criminals. Batman is much older has been around for a while and takes a lot of cues from Frank Millers Dark Knight Returns sans Kelly as Robin. His interactions with Alfred are some of the best being deep and meaningful. I can only Ben does a solo flick as well as he's done other movies he's directed. Superman is portrayed well here as well, the whole tone of the movie is dark and asks the question of what would we do if we had a godlike figure who could save people and help people, but who is also flawed too, would we accept him or would we dismiss him? Henry Cavill does a decent job of showing this throughout the film, and while the fight scene between them is short and the trailers have ruined most of it, it's still worth a watch. And finally Wonder Woman was amazing, we only see her on screen for a bit and get a bit of history of her, but her theme song, her fight with Doomsday is just so bad ass you cannot help but just watch and smile. The movie takes a dark overall brooding tone and that was fine by me, it can feel a bit depressing at times, but it's a contrast from Marvel movies being fun and fast. If DC went the fun route I feel people would've picked on DC for copying Marvel and so and on so forth.
Some of the bad comes with motivations and plot. One they should have left out the whole Batman V Superman title they fight all of once, in the movie and thats it. We all knew it was a precursor to Justice League but they could've called it Batman & Superman and dropped the V it was totally worthless to have it. Jesse Eisenberg was probably the biggest let down there were times I enjoyed his performance but he came off as psychotic joker/riddler hybrid. His constant giggling and psychotic breaks were so unnerving and ridiculous. It was over the top even at the end when after we first saw promo pics of him bald, even though through 3/4 of the movie he has hair, we see him yelling and going loony. It was just not a good fit. Plot wise the motivations for fighting were a bit silly. But we didn't get enough depth into it and it was a missed mark for Snyder.
So why should you see the movie? Make up your own mind critics are not always right and fans are not always right about movies. I left my brain at home and enjoyed the movie for what it was, I had fun and I have to say it was a good movie not perfect, not amazing but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Go check it out and make up your own mind for what you feel is best. But it is worth a watch!
