not as bad as the critics say

Rating: 6/10 (11 June 2016)

Okay, let me start out by saying that I enjoyed Batman v Superman, it was a good movie. It had its flaws but it was a good movie. To start out, the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman was incredible, he really took on the persona of a more violent Batman/Bruce Wayne. Gal Gadot as Diana/Wonder Woman was also a wonderful performance. Her involvement in the plot and entrance in the final act really set the stage for what is to come and I think she did well in the screen time that she was given. To get to the bad's, I thought the narrative and the pacing of this movie was flat out bad, its like there was so much going on trying to set up so much for the next few movies the director forgot to focus on this movie. Overall, I felt this was a good movie but these reviews are no excuse. This movie nor this franchise is going to reach its full potential in the hands of Zach Snyder. Snyder has made some quality films but this is above him, hes essentially another Michael Bay except he makes things look pretty instead of blowing up stuff. If WB were smart they'd have Snyder step down into a producer role and find someone who can command films of this magnitude. If DC wants to compete or even surpass the MCU, lets be real they're not gonna do it in a Zach Snyder directed film.
