The Greatest Gladiator Match in the History of the World.

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2016)

From what I can see, Batman v Superman has had a lot of controversy within it's time of announcement to it's official release date. And why shouldn't it? It's a pretty silly idea. But somehow Zack Snyder found away to make it work within the boundaries of the fact we can see Batman and Superman clearly don't have enough interest in each other to belong in the same film together. After MAN OF STEEL had mixed reviews, I knew the same would happen for this movie too. Sure both have enough questionable flaws in it you could congregate trivia, but it makes up for clever choreography and the destruction total that makes the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole look like a pansy. When I watched this movie, I saw Ben Affleck as Batman, not "oh that should be Christian Bale." Affleck brought a seasoned, older fighter to the table who doesn't mind killing. He's seen some stuff. I get it. I welcome it. More power to you. And Cavill's Superman is still finding himself. Although the fight reasoning between them seems (for lack of a betterterm) rather childish, it's still nice to see your favorite heroes go up against one another. But to be clear, it's really Jeremy Irons that steals the show with his wit, sarcasm and unnerving charm. The rest of the supporting cast does well but still. Overall, ignore what the critics are saying and check it out for yourself.
