Like a graphic novel on film!

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2016)

Like a graphic novel on film! You could tell they were struggling to fit all the story arcs which heavily influences the movie. But the performances were good, the JLA teasers were well woven in and the story was twisted and interesting.
Batfleck is probably the best comic book portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman so far. Gal Gadot wasn't a terrible Wonder Women (although someone with Ronda Rousy's physique would have been more believable as an amazon warrior, but then again I am prejudiced :D), and Herny Cavil is the Superman!
What sweetened the deal for me is that they referenced seamlessly almost all major cookbook plots and visual styles (death of Superman, "Death in the Family", Flash's time travel arc, Frank Miller's contribution, etc.). The movie truly pays homage to the comics. Pure nerd cocaine!
!!!Spoiler alert!!!
And, the mother of all Easter-eggs, Darkseid!! We we're shown para-demons and the omega symbol! Lex rambles on about a great presence coming! Who else could it be?!
!!!End of spoiler!!!
Overall, I don't think the hate for this movie is well justified. Sorry, but The Avengers 2 suffered from the same issues as this movie does - too much happening, 2-3 different set-ups for different movies, as well as many characters and not enough time. Avengers 2 was campy and fun, but there wasn't enough time to feel emotionally invested in the new characters, not to mention the repetitive doomsday plot.. Yet, people lash out against this movie more? Why?
This, too, is a comic-book movie and as such it's like watching the action on paper, taking shape on the screen. BvS doesn't deserve such negative reactions.
