Plot holes galore but one hell of a visual spectacle

Rating: 7/10 (25 March 2016)

I saw it and even though I can understand some of the criticism towards the film ie. the script was not great. I would've expected better from Chris Terrio and David Goyer. I thought the pacing of the movie was fine, nothing wrong with that. There are plot holes galore but that comes down to poor writing and trying to cram too many things into one film. As a visual spectacle is was amazing, absolutely brilliant and some scenes were ripped straight out of the comics. Seeing the trinity side by side and all my favourite DC characters together was awesome. And yes Ben Affleck as Batman was the highlight, I never doubted him for a second. I wish the fight scene between Batman and Superman was slightly longer and also I wish they had stopped fight for something other than their respective mothers have the same name. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor...he was an oddball Lex, like a poor man's Heath ledger Joker. He didn't seem to have a reason as to why he wanted Batman in particular to fight Superman. His hate towards Supes was somewhat understandable but his beef with Bats was confusing. Wonder Woman was awesome for the very little she was on screen. Her parts in the movie felt like a teaser trailer for her upcoming movie next year. If the script was better I would give it a higher rating but I'll give it a 7/10.....it's better than Batman & Robin and Green Lantern. If it makes $800 million or above worldwide then I should think the DC Cinematic Universe will be safe. As a life long DC fanboy I really wanted this to be the film that would take Marvel to the cleaners but just fell short in a few places. Oh well there's always Suicide Squad, roll on August.
