Critics are right about a lot in this movie, but...its still good.

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2016)

okay I cant give it a 7.5 like I want, but it definitely isn't a 7. so here we go. the critics were right in a lot of stuff. first off, the first half of this movie is choppy as hell. the editing is weird, you can tell off the bat (no pun intended) that there were scenes cut from the original version. so many scenes felt incomplete, and so much was going on that, yeah it felt like either the movie needed to be another half hour longer or that they needed to simplify the story in order to make the first half make sense. the choppy nature of the editing also made some of the acting feel off, even cringy for some of the supporting actors (not the main actors, they did great). a lot of the motivations of some of the supporting actors were flimsy at best. I get why Batman hates superman, I get why Superman wants to stop batman, I even understand why Lex would want to stop superman, hint: he's a psychotic megalomaniac. its the supporting actors motivations that just felt incomplete. so yeah a lot of information was coming in and it made the first half of the film just feel weird. then comes the second half. holy mother of awesome action. wow. this movie did not pull the punches. from the scene where Superman meets up with the Iron-Bat. it was just brutal. Wonderwomen was awesome too. I mean I cant say to many bad things about Gal Gadots performance. Batman..greatest Batman ever. this guy is ruthless. he's down right merciless and in some scenes...he straight up murders people. some people may have issued with it but to be perfectly fair, they were all really bad guys. this guy was not f@#king around. it was the second half of this movie that saved it for me. it just, it was awesome. no other way to describe it. I completely forgot about the choppy editing in the beginning. some of the stuff that I felt the critics were to harsh with were Eisenbergs portrayal of Luthor. okay, I wouldn't have gone that direction but to be perfectly honest, I didn't see the Jim Carry performance everyone mentioned. yes he was all over the place, but thats because of the editing.in truth I understood everything he did. Lex Luthor was not there to provide a comic relief, he wasn't there to provide levity. Lex Luthor is a Psychopath, and a straight up Megalomaniac. his own warped pathology makes him hate superman, who although never specifically mentioned, makes him feel, well, human. all in all, structure wise, id give the movie a 5.8, but the action and performances of the main actors was great, 9.0 great. so I will give it, as mentioned above a solid 7.5. this is a good rating. above average to say the least. go watch it, but don't expect Nolan Oscar material. expect great action and awesome entertainment value.
