A good film with excessively harsh criticism!

Rating: 7/10 (25 March 2016)

The bad reviews this film has received are very harsh on what is overall a good film.
Yes the film has a view negatives, for example in my opinion towards the start of the film some scenes were a bit choppy, changing quickly from scene to scene without a clear direction and there were a couple too many dream sequences for me, although the desert dream sequence was really good.
I have read a couple of reviews slating Jesse Eisenberg's performance and I literally cannot understand why, his performance was my favourite part of the movie, I think his portrayal of Lex Luthor was brilliant and he absolutely nailed the role and I already hope that he is in future films such as the justice league films.
Ben Affleck absolutely nailed Batman and in my opinion edges Christian Bale as the best batman, his version of Bruce Wayne/Batman a more aged figure who although delivers justice, does so in a brutal fashion was great to watch.
Jeremy Irons as Alfred was another wonderful performance. This version of Alfred is much more involved with the Batman side of things, and whereas in the Nolan trilogy Bruce Wayne would likely turn to Mr Fox in assistance, Alfred is involved with the gadgets, batmobile etc and even remotely controls the batwing for Batman.
Henry Cavill as superman was again very good, I feel he could have been given more to do in the role and I feel that he should get another Superman stand alone film to really express himself in the role fully.
Wonder Woman, whilst involved in relatively few scenes, the few scenes Gal Gadot did get she was brilliant. And following her performance left me feeling excited for the standalone Wonder Woman film that is set to be released.
Overall the film didn't quite live up to my ridiculously high expectations and I'm not saying it was the perfect movie, but the film was throughly enjoyable and the standout performances of Jesse Eisenberg and Ben Affleck were great to watch, with the film setting up nicely for the Justice League films and a stand alone Batman film.
