The stage is set for more epic stuffs to follow!

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2016)

With this sequel of Man Of Steel, Snyder stamps his authority as the show-runner for DCEU. He shows better control than MoS, and presents a very different class of comic-book movies.
BvS brings together the world's finest. I had my initial doubts on his take of the Batman, but I must say that this Batman is unlike anything we have seen before, and in a good sense. Like Nolan created his own definition of the caped crusader, Snyder took a very different route and gave us a Batman - far more formidable, fierce and flawed. This guy is a war- hardened crime-fighter. He has been traumatized by the killing joke, witnessed deaths in the family. Nolan's Batman was new; he struggled to fit in and find his place. He was much more ideological. Snyder's Batman knows his place and shows how intimidating and cruel the Dark Knight can be. And Affleck portrays this Batman perfectly. Bale would probably still be the best Bruce Wayne, but if the timeline advances, you will definitely get Affleck's Wayne. This shift was much needed to fit the character in this universe. Nolan's/Bale's version could not.
Gadot does a wonderful Wonder Woman. A few scenes between her and Bruce were reminiscent of Selina and Bruce's initial meetings (TDKR). She dons her warrior persona later and fights Doomsday better than our other two heroes.
If I talk about fights, I must mention the one between the Batman and Luthor's goons. I don't have words good enough to describe that. It was a pure bliss watching Arkham-Batman come alive on screen. Mr Snyder, sir, take a bow for that scene.
The fight between the heroes was truly the 'greatest gladiator match', and we are eternally grateful to Luthor for bringing them, well, 'together'!
Eisenberg was nice as a manipulating, conniving Luthor, though very different from his comic-book counterpart. I would love to see some more back-story for his character in the next movies.
I loved the way the JL mates made appearances. Makes me more eager to watch all of them in action.
I would not say BvS has a great story. This is merely setting the stage for what is to come. Snyder shows a lot of things, fast-paced (I personally would have preferred a little more ease and a little more runtime). In terms of character development, there wasn't much to see and understandably so, but all that will leave you brimming with anticipation for the future solo movies, as there's a lot to explore!
BvS nicely sets the tone for the upcoming DCEU movies with its grim, harsh, brutal and unforgiving world. It shows that there are no perfect superheroes, but some 'men' and 'gods' who have the courage to fight for what's just. They bleed, they fall, but rise again to stand together.
