Faithful adaptation that is definitely worth your time

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2016)

While seemingly panning with the critics, Dawn of Justice delivers a fantastic story that is very reminiscent of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns and Injustice. Snyder pulls it together with close attention to the source material. While I enjoyed Man of Steel, I think that this movie definitely fills many of the gaps that Man of Steel left, and it explains away some other concerns.
While sometimes the pacing may seem a bit too quick or too slow depending on where you are in the movie, overall the movie keeps you pulled in and raring to stay for the conclusion. The casting of Affleck was a fantastic choice. He fills the shoes of an older, more battle hardened Batman very well, and his performance made him almost indiscernible from his fictional counterpart. Affleck's Batman is potentially the best to grace the silver screen.
The visuals are also stunning. The fight scenes are definitely a treat. This movie is definitely a must see.
