Not the best DC movie, but still enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2016)

Imagine creating a play list with different genres of music from different periods and play it in shuffle. A mess, right? Yes. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a mess. Too many subplots with no cohesion. About two-thirds of this movie, the first ones, is confusing and dull.
But enough with that and let's get to the good things. First off, the opening sequence. One of the best opening sequence of a movie that I have ever seen and man, that score is haunting. Yes, we've seen it before but this one's on a whole new level. Then, we are introduce to Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne/Batman and I gotta say, the best live- action adaptation of Batman ever. Ben Affleck nailed it. Though some moral personality of the character's kinda lost. But as a DC fan, I can honestly say they anything Batman-related in this film is great. This also includes Jeremy Iron's Alfred. I love the interaction between the two. You really feel that this two have known each other for a long time now. Henry Cavill's Superman is still good as he was in Man of Steel. Amy Adams is OK. All of the cast did great except I think for Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. Maybe it's the script or something but, for me, was just OK. He went from socially awkward to really really insane.
On the other hand, the fight sequences are great. This is a good looking film and it's expected from director Zack Snyder. The titular fight between the two heroes was awesome and also that battle with Doomsday. Though, if you have watched that one trailer, then you really have watched the whole film. But that Wonderwoman intro was insane. It was a crowd pleaser and I definitely love Gal Gadot's portrayal already and makes me excited for her solo film. Definitely added her to crush list. Yep. Added.
That soundtrack for her also was great. It has Mad Max feel to it. This film has a great soundtrack. It's thanks to Hans Zimmer who returns after composing the MOS's score and Junkie XL from Mad Max: Fury Road.
Overall, the film is great looking, has a great fight sequences, great visual effects, well acted and awesome soundtrack. Even has the most bad-ass portrayal of Batman on screen ever. But the first two-thirds of the film is a mess and suffers from non-cohesion of subplots. As a DC fan, I still enjoy it though and will be looking forward to all DC films in the future.
