A DC fan's dream

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2016)

OK...so after 3 years of waiting impatiently...finally the day arrived yesterday...adrenaline and emotions were running high...and after stepping out of Screen 4 of the plush South City multiplex...i was sort of numb for a day...I thought hard and recollected...and here's what I made of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice... OK..first thing's first...the editing was in complete shambles especially the first 30 minutes or so...the events seemed unconnected and unnecessary...and the second weak point was that too many things were inserted into the movie...they could have kept a simple plot and the movie would have been a masterpiece...Another of my complaints is the portrayal of Lex Luthor..I wanted him to be more calm and calculated... closer to the comic books like all the other characters in the movie And now the best part.. Ben Affleck just nails it as Batman...right from his attitude to his physique..to his Arkhamesque fight sequences..to that voice...everything seemed pitch perfect..No doubt he is the best live-action Batman to date..His interactions with Alfred( Jeremy Irons) made me highly anticipated for the solo Batman films... Gal Gadot is the Wonder Woman all DC fans have been craving for...And June 2017 please come fast...I want to see the solo Wonder Woman film right now...Oh God!! she's so stunning... *_* The best thing about BvS is the fact that it is so close to the comic books...and Zack Snyder does an excellent job in satisfying all the DC nerds out there...The film is strewn with easter eggs and references...and sets the perfect platform for the DC cinematic universe...Another awesome thing about the movie are the beautifully choreographed fight sequences especially the face off between the titular characters...and the cinematography is breathtaking... All in all I would say that BvS lives up to the expectations of all DC comic nerds and director Snyder amazingly sets up the DC universe... As an ardent DC fan I literally had tears in my eyes...and on that moment I knew what an impact the movie can have over all the comic book nerds out there... P.s.: To all the critics out there...you know you've been proved wrong when the whole audience gives a standing ovation to the movie...
