A Solid Entry into the DCEU

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2017)

So I've taken some time to let Batman V Superman digest in my mind, and now, I will share my opinion. Batman V Superman, in my opinion, was one of the best, if not THE best, comic book movies this year. Positives: We were given our best Batman EVER, complete with loads of high tech gadgets, amazing fight choreography, an amazing suit, and great lines. We saw our first look at Wonder Woman, who provided a breath of fresh air to normal movie-goers engorged in the fighting. Along with all of this, we got to witness a battle between Batman and Superman, all accompanied by my favorite CBM soundtrack of all time. The UE helped flesh out some narrative issues for me, like the Nairobi crisis, and created character development for important characters, particularly Superman.
Negatives: Jesse Eisenberg as Lex stinks. I'm sorry, you can say all you want about how he is psychologically damaged and menacing , but he was no bueno.I'm not saying he wasn't a great actor, because if he was playing someone else or an original villain, than maybe I would've liked him more. Also, Doomsday. Yikes. I feel like they kinda wasted an opportunity here with this, and the whole Death of Superman arc literally lasted 40 minutes. They should've kept it for a separate sequel! Amy Adams as Lois Lane, again, is literally the embodiment of the damsel-in-distress trope. Editing could be a bit shotty, and the JL cameos felt really shoe-horned in.
Overall: 7.5/10 +Batfleck/Wondy +Zimmer/Junkie's soundtrack +DAT ACTION +Character Devlopment -Villains -Lois
