Watch The Ultimate Edition

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2017)

PROS: The film is visually breathtaking and very reminiscent to Watchmen destructing the characters. Ben Affleck is the best live action Batman we've had so far. Batman's fighting style is just like in the comics, cartoon, and video games. It's cool seeing the events of Man of Steel from Bruce's perspective because it gives him motivation for hating Superman. The political and theological themes surrounding Superman are powerful. Henry Cavill is once again good as Clark Kent/Superman and it's cool seeing Clark Kent going to Gotham investigating Batman because it gives him good motivation for not liking Batman. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is awesome and sexy. The fight between the trinity and Doomsday is dope. It's cool seeing cameos from the other Justice League members. The editing and pacing is much better than it was in the theatrical version. Lex's plan makes more sense than it did in the theatrical version portraying him as a puppet master. The Ultimate Edition makes more sense. The score by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL is fantastic. The ending is very ballsy and emotional. CONS: Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor may still be over the top but he is more tolerable in the Ultimate Edition. There is a little too much Lois Lane in the final better. OVERALL: While it still may not be perfect, the Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition is a major improvement on the theatrical version, and for me it's one of the best comic book movies. SCORE: 9/10
