Awesome movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2016)

This is a really great movie. How the actual duel was set up made me feel guilty (since I had wanted to see Batman and Superman fight), and I was so on Superman's side, I just wanted Batman to stop beating Superman up. Using the names of their mothers, which in canon have always been the same (Martha), was just genius. The fight vs. Doosmday was the most spectacular superhero movie fight I have ever seen (even though I knew they would beat the monster with the spear, it still FELT like it was unstoppable), and making Superman, the invincible, so vulnerable made him totally relatable. I have never so much taken Superman's side as in this movie. Batman was perfect, Wonder Woman was perfect, and I actually have seen the movie in the theatre twice now, which I haven't done with any movie in ages.
The critics' reviews completely baffle me, and I think this will make critics less relevant in the future. The movie might have been a bit complex (I only really understood everything at my second viewing (kind of like with Avengers AoU)). It was not for children which I think is a mistake, since superheroes are for kids first, and generally, even though I love this movie, I think Snyder should hand over the reigns now. Things have to lighten up a little bit. 300 in the DC Universe was great up to this point, but not all of DC should be 300.
I give it a 9.5/10. I hope this movie is as successful as it can possibly be, and that we generally continue down the road that's been pursued up to this point.
