Dawn of Justice

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2016)

Let me just start by saying this; I'm in the minority writing this because I really loved it. I know a lot of people don't like it, I respect that, just respect mine.
I'll start with the beginning of the film, another Batman parents origin but I don't mind seeing it again, and this time it was done really well, Bruce in the cave with the bats does remind me of Batman Begins.
Then it shows the end of MoS but from Bruce Wayne's perspective and it's clear what starts his dissent towards, Superman.
Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman is now the best on-screen portrayal of the character we have seen; he was fantastic, Henry Cavill as Superman was better than in MoS and had more depth and as Clark Kent, I thought he did a good job, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex I thought was the low point of all the acting but I still liked him as the character, very plotting but humorous, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman was great, she isn't the best actress I've ever seen so the lines she had were good but the action side of WW was amazing, great to see on the screen, the audience cheered at our screening, again when you saw the trinity, finally from the main cast, Jeremy Irons as Alfred was superb, a hands-on, witty Alfred is fun, stirring Bruce, I loved it.
The rest of the cast all did a good job, Amy Adams is good whatever she's in, Holly Hunter was good and the one scene with Granny's Peach Tea in the senate, the way it made her lose her focus, brilliant, Laurence Fishburne I thought was hilarious at times but also serious.
This Batman might also be the most vicious and brutal one we've seen, this is a murderous, Batman and it will cause divide but I liked it, it's a nice change, especially since you can tell he hates the world after losing, Robin. Which made me excited for the fight scene between Batman and Superman, and boy was it fun, gave me goosebumps to see these heroes I've grown up with fighting, I was rooting for Batman as its my favorite hero but by the end, I wanted them to stop, "like, no, you are friends, stop, please stop" but I did enjoy Batman winning.
They both got there punches in so good to see that as well which leaves me to Doomsday, besides his look, I was happy with how violent and dangerous he was, so to see the Trinity team up to take him down was amazing; WW with her lasso, Batman hitting him with kryptonite gas and Superman taking him down with the spear but dying in the process.
The funeral I thought was handles fantastically but we all know he isn't dead, so I look forward to this DCU which is set up well with the introduction of the Justice League; Cyborg, was the lowest point of the reveal, Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash was different then I'm used to and Jason Momoa as Aquaman was amazing, I look forward to seeing more of him.
I'll end with the soundtrack and Hans Zimmer has created a great one, as I walked out and even now, I have the music in my head, I will buy the soundtrack, so besides a few moments in the film, a few scenes with the way it was edited was jarring but overall, I loved it.
9/10
