Not bad, but not great either.

Rating: 7/10 (27 March 2016)

This movie is a very weird one, Ill start with the good. The first half an hour is excellent and was exactly what i wanted from this movie, it sets up the world and introduces us to the new Batman- played by Ben Affleck, who does the role justice and is easily the best part of this movie.
The fight/action scene are also amazingly well done and are defiantly worth the wait. Jeremy Irons was also a great Alfred and also a bit of a different take on the character. All scenes with Batman/Bruce Wayne in were terrific. To my surprise Gal Gadot as Women Women was also great in the movies and looked bad ass.
But this is where the movies start to fall apart. Its not awful by any means but its all over the place, the editing is not good at all and it effects the flow of the movie because it doesn't give you time to understand whats going on in certain scenes.
The writing and directing isn't up to standard either(for this type of movies), there are a number of plot holes which could be easily explained if there was more care taken to address them. You could also easily make this movies 30 minutes shorter as most of the build is unnecessary. I never found myself getting bored but i did start to get annoyed in a few scenes which is a weird thing to say about a movie.
Not really sure about Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luther either if I'm honest. The first scene he was in i automatically disliked his portray of the character and thought he was awful, but as the movie went on and the logic of it all went out the window i started to change my mind, there's not really a motivation with him but thats what i liked with villains in movies, if i had to describe him best he's basically a way worse, wanna be, rip off version of the joker.
Id recommend this movie to anyone that is looking to kick back, relax and switch off for a few hours but if you're one of these people that likes to nitpick or if you're standard for movies are high then I'm afraid its not for you.
