really wanted it to be better, but can't complain a whole lot with the final product

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2016)

Okay, let me first start off by saying I am extremely disappointed with A) the way this movie performed at the box office, and B) the critical reaction to this movie. I'm sad that this movie was torn apart by critics and I'm even more sad that it dropped significantly in its second weekend, especially how we all thought that this movie was going to absolutely demolish box office records. So let's get right on to the review. I am a DC fanboy, so this might come off a little biased, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Now granted, if they had done it differently, I probably would have loved it a heck of a lot more, but i still liked the final project. Claims that this movie was boring just didn't ring with me. It's boring if you want it to be, if that makes any sense. What I mean is that if you go into this movie expecting it to bore you, you will probably get bored with it. But if you walk into it expecting the story to take you somewhere, you might have a good time with it.
Lex Luthor in this movie was...different. I actually liked this new take on the character, but at times I think he went a little too far. For example, "The Red Capes Are Coming" quote was awesome in the trailer, but in the actual movie, that scene was so out of place. But overall, I liked his performance.
Batman was ... Awesome. There's no other way to describe it. This is the best comic book Batman we've ever seen on film. (I still like Christian Bale better, because that's more of a realistic take on Batman, so there's not much flashy fighting in those movies, but Ben Affleck is Batman straight from the comics. Bale is realistic, Affleck is the comics.)
Wonder Woman= best part of the movie hands freaking down.that's all I have to say about that.
i didn't really like the reason Batman and Superman fought. Batman wanted to kill Superman, okay that's fine, but the only reason Superman wanted to fight Batman was because Lex Luthor blackmailed him by kidnapping his mom and told him to fight Batman or his mom would die(which, Luthor should have known what happened to the last person who tried to threaten his mom, ha ha) . So, that was a little disappointing. The fight scene was pretty awesome actually, not better than the fights in Man of Steel, but they were pretty cool.
And then there's Doomsday. Now a lot of people hate Doomsday in this movie, but I kind of liked him. When he first appeared in the comics, he was a hulking monster not unlike what we see in the film. And he kills Superman in this movie, just like in the comics. However, in this movie he just stabs him with one of his spikes on his hands. In the comics, Doomsday beat the living daylights out of Superman, and that's how he died. But still, nice homage.
The best part of the movie (besides Wonder Woman) was when it showed the files of all the other DC heroes. It made me excited to see them in future films. As a DC fanboy, I've always thought DC characters were just so much more interesting than marvel characters. I like marvel, but not as much as DC.
so in the end, was it perfect? I don't think so. Was it good? I say yes. It doesn't deserve the hate it gets. I mean, some people are placing this movie on the same level, or worse than Fan4stic. That's just wrong.
