Gives The Dark Knight A Run For Its Money

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2016)

With all the negative reviews from critics and moviegoers alike I was worried. Critics argued that the story was unfocused and busy, Jesse Eisenbergs Lex was over-acted, and Henry Cavill was nonexistent. What I say to them is "kick rocks." The writing was as clear as can be. It was a neat simple story that they developed in a unhurried fashion. It had suspense, it was thrilling, it was filmed quite dark, and ultimately it was a batman(superman) film for the ages.
Yes it ran a bit long, but as my date explained, she didn't want it to end after the first problem was solved, it needed that last little push to make it more than just a movie. So to her the length was just fine. Just have some twizzlers to keep that blood sugar level fine and you'll be okay.
Jesse E seemed to have been doing his best Heath Ledger's Joker, and I don't have any complaints with his efforts. Yes, he's no Heath Ledger but that's probably because he wasn't given more screen time to be more of a jerk. The only thing I would say is that it's not necessarily catering to the very young like Iron Man and Avengers do. So if you have kids just know they won't walk out saying "OH WOW THAT WAS AMAZING AND FUNNY!" Because it is, just not for them.
I think it was a great film. Sure there's cons, like Lois Lane, but the pros greatly outweigh. If you haven't already seen it in theaters rest assured that if you liked The Dark Knight, this is the closes in replicating it of the batman/superman/marvel/DC films since
