Movie is good:) Neither depressing nor amazing

Rating: 7/10 (27 March 2016)

First off, I am a huge DC fan, but this review is certainly not biased.The movie is great in some aspects, and is disappointing in some others. However, overall, it delivers. The movie had the potential to be a lot more, and on that premise, it was disappointing. Nonetheless, it was good.
The first few minutes of the movie are absolutely brilliant. The first 2 minutes in particular are so brilliantly shot and I have never seen anything like it. The way they show Martha being shot is amazing. The movie starts off with the death of Bruce's parents, followed by Ben affleck going to Metropolis during the end of Man of Steel. From his perspective, the entire sequence looks amazing. The movie began to go a bit downhill from here. Overall, the plot of the movie is good, and the messages that Snyder wanted to convey are brilliant. However, the film does not do it very effectively. One major flaw of the film is its flow and sequencing. If the movie had just rearranged the scenes, it would have easily been better. The cast is amazing. Some might hate Jesse Eisenberg, but I felt he was really good as Lex Luthor. Affleck is my favourite batman to date and Henry delivers as well. Amy's acting is a bit sloppy at times, but overall, she did fine.
Ignore comments that say the movie feels packed BECAUSE OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE INTRO. The movie did feel packed, but it certainly wasn't because of the justice league. The cameos were really short and yet effective. The action scenes are very well choreographed and will make fans go crazy. However, the fight between Batman and Superman was more because of Lex Luthor rather than what the movie had been trying to build up the entire time. Superman is merely trying to fight batman because he wants to save his mum, but the film tried to build up that Superman is going to Batman because he Batman thinks he is above the law. The idea of Batman viewing superman as a threat and superman viewing batman as a criminal is really great, but the film failed to convey that. This was a disappointing aspect. Wonder woman was really good and the trinity was amazing. It would have been better if the film flowed better.
I felt that the entire Doomsday part could have been avoided, not because the cgi was bad or it didn't make sense, but rather because they could've used the time to build on the existing characters. Superman dies and is hinted to be alive at the end and while some may find this a stupid idea, I feel that it's a really good intro to Justice League.
Overall, the film is way better than what critics have been saying, and is not as good as what fanboys are saying.
+ Cast + Action Sequences + The Trinity - Sequencing - Conveying of Batman and Superman's views of each other - Too packed
