If you don't have perspective then you might not get BvS

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2016)

Batman vs Superman is one of those movies that some people pan because I think they've gotten so use to a certain type of expectation for their viewing. They go in with preconceptions of how key characters should act or be portrayed and looking to pick apart something they couldn't create if they had a trillion dollar budget.
First, don't expect BvS to be like any Marvel flick, they are two different approaches to superhero movies. DC lands on the more dark side of the humanity spectrum, because in reality if you're a super being and you're not questioning your actions then you're just a powerful egotistical character ie Ironman.
Second, Batman is one conflicted human being, so when he's balancing on that line between planning for the possibility of killing Superman and actually facing killing him he has a right to find some reason for staying his action. Minor not-really a spoiler spoiler If it happens you both have mothers with the same name blame the writers.
All in all the movie moves along a reasonable pace as we pick up near the end of Superman's last movie to start this one. It gives a good pickup perspective to see how might you feel if you saw that battle of near godlike beings play out right next to you. Any normal human would at some point have to ask "What if Superman were to go rogue?" And if you're a billionaire playboy you've got resources so you put them to work.
Superman on the other hand has to figure out his path in life, is he going to forge his own way forward or live by the words of his dead father?
Meanwhile you have the ego maniacal Luthor who is planning something big and is able to persuade the state to allow him access to remnants of what's left of the off-earthers and their spaceship. But just to make sure you don't think he's some Gene Hackman, there is more than enough to make you know he'll NEVER be up to any good at any time ever.
I believe all in all it's a great movie worth seeing to get a far different perspective on the Batman Superman dynamic. Super intelligence can plan enough to put super invulnerability at risk. All it takes is planning and execution, and survival.
