Underrated in so many levels

This is phenomenon. It's a matter of personal preference, background knowledge of references (biblical/ mythological) the story, together with the ability to interpret meanings!
Web Slinger has put a representative review on his page, saying that "Look opinions change with time and distance. RIGHT NOW, I'm sitting here trying to decide if this really is the best comic movie I've ever seen, because RIGHT NOW, that's kind of how I feel.
Right off the bat (PUN) I'll say this is not a marvel movie. And that's OK. That's refreshing.
I love the fun of Marvel, and I love the weight of DC. They Shouldn't be the same product.
I've said before I don't listen to many critics. Conversely those of you who know me from my posts know I myself can be incredibly critical. But i tend to love the very very VERY few movies out there that I don't hate.
This movie blew me away. Affleck is now the most perfect representation of both batman and Bruce Wayne we've ever had. Cavil has that aura of superman.
Godot is still maturing as an actor, her performance was solid. Her gravitas and beauty are off the charts. She carries herself as if she were a goddess, which comes natural to her because she looks like one, that's a learned behavior. She had a fierce dignity that made her wonder woman.
I even loved Luthor. Very different take, but where I was worried he'd be another ed enigma or electro, he was not. He was eccentric but with an alpha dog bravado and a lurking dark side. He was very sinister and menacing, and he was ruthless.
I also wanna add that Affleck played batman a little crazy, which I loved.
The action was fantastic, the plot was simple and the story was brilliantly woven.
Last thing I want to point out is that the script, and especially the Luthor character, had a tremendous reverence for literature, history, and the arts. If you are a truly educated human being, you will find a lot of subtle, scholarly references to appreciate.
I'm not saying film critics and film students aren't classically or properly educated... but I guess I kind of am.
It's a really smart well crafted film, and it's also a nonstop thrill ride. I f--- LOVED IT! "
