Do you bleed? You sure will, and you may die. (Early Review)

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2016)

*Possible Minor Spoilers Ahead*
I am not a professional critic, but because of my job at a media company I get to see a lot of this stuff early. I've been looking forward to a BvS movie since, well forever. With that being said I ask: Who the hell let Zack Snyder make this movie? Now I LIKED THE FILM, but I can't imagine that someone at WB corporate let them make this for a mass audience, this is the kind of film a weird freak like me would like, not a general audience.
This film is dreary and dark as all hell. Though it's not specified, I'm not sure that Ben Affleck's Batman isn't committing murders in this movie and it's awesome. Like everyone else in the solar system I was terrified at the prospect of Affleck playing Batman, but he's probably the best part of the movie. This is a Batman who is not a crime fighter, he's basically a terrorist/vigilante who goes after bad, bad people.
The visuals of course are some of Zack Snyder's best, but the editing is all over the god damn place, I'm not sure what they were going for on this one.
I gasped in horror when Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman, but she turned out to be fine. It's hard to judge given that her character, while more than a cameo is a rather minor role.
Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor was very weird. Not bad and not great, it was just a strange casting, I would've gone another way.
Then there's a bunch of stuff with doomsday at the end that I'm not going to get into here. Not that it's bad at all, the fight scene is spectacular but I would've gone another way. That said, the filmmakers do something really ballsy with this character and it actually works.
I give the movie a 6.9 out of 10, but this film is going to get CLOBBERED by real critics as I doubt this is what most people are looking for as it is DARK AS HELL.
