Good but not great. It is a movie that will entertain you.

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2016)

Batman v Superman is a good and entertaining movie but does not live up to the amazing amount of hype it has gained for the past couple of years. So I will start with the positives of the movie. Ben Affleck is the best Batman ever on the big screen while Gal Gadot gives one of the best performances of the year so far in her role as Wonder Woman. The visuals are amazing and is capped off by the battle between the Batman and Man of Steel. The action scenes are some of the best you will see and gives you the real fighting style of Batman. Now the negatives of the movie. A very confusing plot unless you are familiar with comics and have a detective mind like the batman himself. Lack of humor is also very obvious when you see it. Now I'm not asking for a marvel movie but some jokes from people like Superman, Alfred and Lois would not hurt. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was a mess and way off the source material. Also they focused too much on the justice league rather than the movie itself as you get unexpected cameos that really does not impact the movie. Doomsday should have never been in the film and was a waste of time that could have been used for better development between Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. With all that said I would still buy The ultimate cut of this movie for a better idea of what this film tries to do. Until then I give it a solid 7/10.
