The best versus movie of 2016!

Rating: 9/10 (20 June 2020)

Even though this was technically Henry Cavill's Superman sequel I think Ben Affleck and Jeremy Irons stole the show as Batman and Alfred. I liked Alfred's quips about Bruce's lifestyle as a billionaire playboy and of course Batman. "Even you got too old to die young, not for the lack of trying." I found it funny how he delivered those lines so bluntly but with a tiny hint of humour.
I liked Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. He played on Bruce's anger towards Superman until he was pushed over the edge then all he had to do was kidnap Superman's mother and threaten to kill her unless he killed the bat.
I love the fact that Batman was a cold blooded killer. It's hinted in the movie that he was pushed over the edge by Robin's death at the hands of The Joker. This was a much more darker and vengeful version and I loved it!
Henry Cavill was excellent again as Superman as was Ben Affleck as Batman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. I liked the final battle with Doomsday. There's a moment when Doomsday is about to disintegrate Batman and his plane and Wonder Woman makes the save. Then there is a crack in the sky which is Superman and he comes at Doomsday with such speed and takes him out.
I wish the fight between Batman and Superman lasted a bit longer but it was still pretty good and there was enough time left for a decent team up. It was sad to see Doomsday destroy some Apache helicopters. They are the most impressive gun ships I've ever seen and they deserve better.
Lastly I just want to clarify what I think of the Martha situation. It's not "oh our Mothers have the same name now we are friends." I interpret it as a tortured soul (Batman) finally learning to look beyond his own pain. Accepting that he couldn't save his own Mother but he can damn sure save Clark's. I shouldn't even need to clarify this but again these Virgin nerds talk so much BS that it's necessary.
