Dawn of Justice

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2016)

To start this review, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is an amazing film, of course there are very minor flaws, but it should never of been called "Batman V Superman". It should of been simply named, "Dawn of Justice". Do not expect a "Versus" film, this film sets up The Justice League and it does it perfectly, I loved this film very much and I believe it's the best Batman comic adaptation we've had yet. (Excluding the realistic and phenomenal Dark Knight trilogy)
This Batman is dark and brutal, perfectly played by Ben Affleck, he is, in my opinion, the best Batman we've had. Henry Cavill as Superman is superb also. The controversial casting for Lex Luthor played by Jesse Eisenberg was huge, but I think it was a good choice, of course there are probably better choices, but he still did a good job at creating this uneasy character, at times I didn't like him, but most of the time, (his theme song is also mind blowing). The dark tone of the film is brilliant, as expected. This film is not for those expecting a fun-loving Marvel film, this is not exactly filled with humour nor fun, which is perfect for this film. Visually, this movie is stunning, I was amazed at the cinematography and the music which goes with it, especially the opening scene and also Lex entering the military site with the crashed ship.
The action scenes are fantastic and done brilliantly, especially the Batman fight scenes, it reminds me of the same style which the Arkham games had. Now I come to the bad points, there isn't a lot of them to be honest, some small parts could of gone into detail, like how Lex's blood onto Zods body could form Doomsday, it is slightly explained, but maybe a bit more explanation could of helped. Also, the "Martha" scene was very good and deep, but maybe if it went slower and not so rushed then it would of settled more, on my second viewing I felt it more. Some people seem to be picking extremely small parts which do not even seem worth the trouble.
There isn't much else to say about the bad points, the film overall was amazing and it exceeded my expectations. I don't understand the amount of hate this movie has, 30% of Rotten Tomatoes is ridiculous, Superman Returns and Furious 7 are much, much higher and they were both awful. The rating on RT should be around 85% and the IMDb rating should be around 7.9 - 8.2. Zack Snyder has done an excellent job, as I expected. If this is what future DC films are to be like, then I will surely love the upcoming universe.
