A great start to the dc cinematic universe.

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2016)

Although critics and some reviewers have you believe that this movie isn't worth your time, I'm here to tell you that it is. As a long time batman fan and overall dc comics fan, I can tell you that Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is an amazing film that is everything a dc fan could ask for. It also suits any casual moviegoer who would just like to watch the film for a reason other than it being a comic book movie.
At first Ben Affleck was criticised and frowned upon when he was announced to play batman. We have seen many incarnations of batman before but nothing quite like this. We have seen a range that reaches from campy to dark and brooding. Ben sits more towards the latter. He is everything I could ever have wanted in a live action batman. He is exactly how I imagine batman in the comics. Henry comfortably settles into his role as superman. He pulls off the tormented hero very well and his on screen relationship with Ben as batman really pulls off to show the feud that builds to the promised an delivered battle in the title of the movie. Another stand out for me was Jesse Eisenberg. Although he wasn't your comic accurate lex, his character was similar to his other roles in the sense that he is awkward but smart. However it is different enough to work for lex. He plays an incredibly sinister and deep character with many layers to peel back. Gal gadot while only just being introduced in the movie as Wonder Woman, manages to show enough of her character to intrigue you for her upcoming solo film next year. Amy Adams and Laurence fishburne okay their respective reporter roles well and bring a few laughs to the film.
The story in itself was good and had no plot holes. It had clear development and took the story in a clear path with the occasional twist that wasn't expected. There were only a select few times where the film had some rough pacing. As mentioned earlier the fight promised between God and man, truly delivered although it could have been stretched out a little longer.
There isn't to much else I can say without spoiling it. I am rating and review the film as a comic book fan so if you aren't one then maybe this won't help you but if you are them I hope you go watch the film and have a good time to enjoy yourself. Thank you for reading my first review of a movie.
