Not Perfect...But a Good CBM Film Nonetheless!

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2016)

First of all. Don't believe the over the top ridiculous and rather unsubstantiated poisonous criticism that some "professional critics" have bestowed. I do use the term professional critics lightly because I consider them more hypo critics more than anything. Always talking out of both sides of there mouths when it comes to films and contradicting themselves from film to film. No credibility whatsoever.
BvS is not a carbon copy of the over the top, cheesy forced dialogue of the Marvel films and nor should it be. This film deals a little more with real world issues and anxieties and makes you think a little more.
It's also a film that upon first viewing is mind blowing and engrossing and entertaining superhero film. Affleck as Batman is simply bad ass. He is jaded and an older Bruce Wayne in his early 40's who has seen and been through horrible things while fighting the war that never ends for 20 years. Affleck is a beast as Batman and we the best action and fight scenes of Batman out of all the previous films and the Batsuit is the best overall as well. The Batcave is a mix between Nolans and Burtons films and is a nice upgrade from those films.
Cavill is fine as Superman and Clark Kent and is basically the heart and soul of the film.
Gadot is a highlight as mysterious Diana Prince and when we see her as Wonder Woman it is just one big tease to how great it will be to her in her solo origin film in Summer 2017. Note: Here is hoping WB's changes her release date from a crowded June to late March early April or early August date to set her film up for success financially.
Eisenbergs Lex is a younger, yet brilliant and twisted paranoid version of Lex who is out to destroy the "god" who will eventually destroy and take over humanity. Eisenberg adds some quirky humor to Lex and does solid work. I personally was worried about over acting from him, but he keeps himself in check just fine.
The rest of the supporting cast ie Adams, Fishburne, Lane and Irons are fine.
The pacing is up and down and becomes a little choppy in the 2nd half, but this is a 2 hr and 20 min film (not including end credits) that does not drag and keeps you engrossed with a good, surprising ending that leaves you wanting more. This film also does a nice job of teasing the Justice League that certainly does not ruin the flow of the film and also teases a potentially bigger legendary threat for the future of the DC films and the Justice League.
This film is quite easy to follow and if anything I do think Snyder could have added more humor in the 1st half of the film or maybe even bit more superhero action. The story and script is fine, but the editing could have been better. Regardless, the film keeps you engaged.
Watch the movie and enjoy. Don't try and pick it apart like the hypo critics. It's still a mind blowing and engrossing CBM film from start to finish. Despite it's flaws, this film has definite re watch value on the big screen. I look forward to seeing the improvements for the Justice League films!
