The film vs The preconceived negative opinion

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2016)

First of all I am a comic fan, I am a DC fan and I am a Marvel fan, but most importantly I am a film fan more than anything.
Now we've all heard and seen all the hatred and animosity surrounding this film and Zack Snyder. The reason why this exists is not entirely clear and is certainly not entirely rational. Maybe it is because of the advertising mess up with the second trailer, it was not a good trailer in hardly any aspect, and was undoubtedly a big blow. Maybe the negative opinions are do to the fact that people feel they need to take a side because it is Marvel and DC, however if you do choose a side you are only choosing a film company to be loyal to which is ridiculous!! Maybe all of the negativity simply comes from the media, The media will condemn any film they want to because this animosity is money for them, if you hear a big film is going to be terrible by a media or critic you get interested in why and at the end of the day everybody loses except the businesses in the media, people are easily influenced in this social networking era.
Batman V Superman Dawn of justice has been subjected to a pre-conceived idea that the movie is not good or for some strange reason shouldn't be good. I do not understand why people are hating this film before they have seen it or giving it a one star simply because it wasn't there cup of tea, by no stretch of the imagination is this film a one star. A one star film implies that it is worse than 'baby geniuses 2' or something.
This movie has some of the best action scenes I have ever witnessed it most definitely tops the leaderboard for superhero action scenes that is where Zack Sneijder deserves his Due. Batman, superman and wonder woman etc. all have amazing combat choreography and this is complimented beautifully by Snyders great direction, the imagery and of course hans Zimmer's and junkie XL's impending soundtrack. When it comes to action Dawn of Justice gets an easy 10/10 from me.
I feel sorry for Zack he is being bullied by the world in a unimaginably cruel way at the moment, people have even started petitions, the truth of the matter is the majority of these people are comic fans and know little about movie-making, once a superhero film reaches the big screen it is now a film no different to any other physically, people need to look of superhero movies as films and not something greater.
The performances in this film are wonderful, Ben afleck brings us a terrific Bruce Wayne/batman, gal godot is absolutely stellar!! as Wonder Woman (she stole the show for me) and Jesse eisenberg is very very good! His lex Luther is ruthless, estranged and very evil there is definitely a comparison to be made with Heath ledgers Joker, Jessie's Lex is not quite as crazy but is much stranger and more evil. The acting side of things is for the most part impressive however carvil and Amy Adams aren't as good as the rest of the cast in my opinion. I would of liked to have seen Matt Bommer as superman and someone else for Lois, nevertheless they were both better in Dawn... Than they were in man of steel so this is nothing major to complain about.
The movies pacing had its high and low moments, there were times where it was fantastic and there were times where it was jagged (for lack of a better word). The movie is a upward slope, from the very begging the "epicness" and speed increases as the movie goes along. It was actually very refreshing to see, too often do action and superhero films put a massive action scene towards the begging leaving the concluding action scenes less impactful. Dawn of justice works on our anticipation and builds us up nicely from moment to moment. However some of the scene transitions didn't work very well, some scenes feel like they need to be longer because there was a hell of a lot of scenes (in the first half mostly) and the music didn't seem to complement a cut from dark batman scenes to light superman ones. (The man of steel piano). Wonder woman's drums were my favourite part of the soundtrack! They gave me goosebumps in the cinema.
I really like this movie, the things I were lead to believe I wouldn't like I actually really loved (like Jessie Eisenberg and Doomsday). I would recommend it to any action lover or superhero fan. It is unpredictable I was surprised a number of times because of things I didn't see coming. It is more mature and more thought provoking than any of Disneys marvel films (which are more lighthearted fun). I can say for sure that I am more excited for the upcoming DC films than I am marvel, and Disney is the reason (I want something more dark if serious Disney!) regardless of this the upcoming marvel films do look great!! I'm not going to pick a side because if I do the only person who losses is me.
