A good platform for better things to come

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2016)

I can't understand all the hate going around about this movie. There is no way that this can be compared to the Nolan's batman trilogy. In the era where comic book movies are delivered to us like factory products every year, Batman v Superman is no different but it is not bad either. Zack Snyder takes a slightly different approach compared to his previous Man of Steel and has made Batman v Superman a conventional comic book movie. Dawn of Justice is dark, loaded with extreme action and old school.
The movie picks up from the end of Man of Steel and pits the two protagonists Batman and Superman against one another in their approach towards justice. The introduction of the Batman is kept short but done neatly. The story is based mainly upon the remains from Krypton (Reference: Man of Steel) and their use for evil purposes by the maniac Lex Luthor. Superman is made to look guilty in the eyes of the world and is branded Alien. Billionaire Bruce Wayne a part time vigilante who stops crime and plans on stopping Superman to save the world privately investigates Lex Luthor and his evil plans. The plot is a tad illogical at times but that doesn't take anything away from superbly shot action sequences and crisp characterization of the lead characters.
Haters gonna hate but Ben Affleck has nailed it as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Here Batman is much older and is a no nonsense guy when it comes to fighting crime. Henry Cavill is probably the best Superman ever. Somehow Amy Adams as Lois Lane once again finds herself in important scenes and actions sequences. Jesse Eisenberg has delivered in making Lex Luthor look as psychotic as possible. Jeremy Irons as the butler Alfred is more than a butler here. Gal Gadot is super hot as Wonder Woman and fits well for the role. Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner in a cameo amp up the star value of the cast.
The movie is thoroughly entertaining and brings justice (league) to the DC's present and future plans. Don't see the ratings and read negative reviews, go watch this epic battle!
