**MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS**. A very good movie that will not let down Batman or Superman fans THAT KNOW THE BACKSTORY.

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2016)

This movie was a really good movie. Not great, but really good. It is a movie that can be enjoyed by everyone but will be appreciated by the fans who know that backstory of the characters. I watched this movie will high hopes and for the most part it delivered. I will start with some of the negatives: 1) The graphics were lacking in two scenes, but it did NOT ruin the movie for me. 2) The desert fight scene felt fake and forced. It was more of an acrobatic show rather than fighting, with fake punches totally visible and the enemies just running into Batmans wanted to be punched... 3) Some scenes felt rushed and could have been explored a little more. Considering the movie is already over 2:30, I totally get that. Some of the positive that caught my eye: 1) It is much more than just a movie. I know the characters and understood every single reference and why they acted like they did. My girlfriend whom which I watched the movie with needed to be filled in after the movie as to why they did what they did. After that she was fully on board and felt satisfied with the movie. 2) The end fight scenes were just awesome (shame the desert one wasn't as good). I can't describe how great it is to see all the characters in one movie. 3) Batmans new suit is great and looks really dark and menacing. 4) The ending of the movie fit perfectly with the whole feel of the movie.
I can't wait for the new JL movies as well as the stand alone Batman movie.
I understand that people might not like this movie but it does not deserve lower than 7.5 IMO. I gave it a 9 because I thought they paved the way to the new JL movies in a very good way. It was dark and full of hidden gems.
This is my first review and the reason why I made this account was to write it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but they should back it up with REAL reasons as to why they didn't/did like the movie. Reasoning in the form of "Snyder sucks..." and so on is not reasoning. Some people say it was hard for them to follow the story because it jumped. Well, I don't really understand that since it wasn't that complicated to follow. It was pretty basic stuff, but I guess it could be confusing a little if you don't know the characters. This feels like a movie for the fans, not the critics.
Thanks for reading!
