If Sheldon Cooper had a top ten list.

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2016)

I think this would be his favorite comic book film. I say that because more than any other comic book film to date it appeals to fan boys with a couple obscure references, that my comic nut buddy whom I gave one of my screening tickets to knew all about. I leaned over to him at one point in the film and said, "WTF was that all about." And then after the film he explained the scene to me and I said, "Well heck, who is going to know what that meant other than you and Sheldon Cooper? I kind of felt the same way with Watchman. If you have never read the graphic novel (me) it may seem a little hard to follow.
I am not a Zack Snyder fan, I am not a Henry Cavil fan, I am a huge Ben Affleck fan as a director, as an actor, he is decent, and he did a decent job in the role of Batman. He is no Christian Bale, but he plays Batman every bit as dark and brooding.
I think this Zack Snyder's best film, but to me that is not saying much. I am much more a DC fan than a Marvel fan, so I look forward to the several DC films that are about to be released, and this sets up the Justice League films well.I am very surprised at the tepid reviews, but the first hour was extremely disjointed and just odd and choppy.
The best part of the film was Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. Perhaps the distant second to Heath Ledger as best comic book villain of all time. But Suicide Squad is out soon, so his reign on the number two throne may be short lived.
If you have been in a comic book store more than 3 times in the last year you will likely give this film a ten. All the rest of us may not be quite as enthused.
