Good but not quite great

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2016)

I enjoyed this movie for a number of reasons, especially the first hour and a half or so, but I felt it would be a better movie had it ended there. Some of the best special effects I have seen in any movie and the action and story are fast paced. That is until the monster Lex Luthor creates appears. It then becomes all rather silly. It should have ended with the Superman/Batman battle in my opinion. All the acting is top notch, Henry Cavill, Ben Aflek and Amy Adams are all brilliant and suit the roles better then many previously. Although Louis really should have had dark hair, it was Lana Lang who was a red head in the comics. Jesse Eisenberg is a great Lex Luthor with just the right hint of genius and madness. Laurence Fishburne is a bit flat as Perry White, as is Jeremy Irons as Alfred, but they aren't in many scenes.
But over all an enjoyable watch.
