It's okay. (Ultimate edition)

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2019)

This movie really has its ups and downs. First of all the whole building of the movie. The beginning of the movie was (in my opinion) well told. It builds up this whole problem around superman real good but it fails to include Batman properly in all of this. I've watched this movie 3 times now and I still can't tell exactly what his actual issue is? Is it because superman fought an enemy that could've easily conquered earth and destroyed parts of a city? It would be absolutely reasonable if they would build it up properly but the problem is this movie tries to tell 2 story lines; lex Luthor trying to beat superman and batman trying to beat superman. Why not split it up? You could easily make 2 movies out of this.
Another huge issue is the writing. Not the story but the dialogues. At some point we get nice comic dialogues that fit perfectly into the movie and the next moment we get dialogues รก la Game of Thrones season 8. "Martha... why are you saying that name?" come on guys. I don't have an issue with the fact that he stops beating superman up after hearing his mother's name since Bruce Wayne has a huge trauma but could you at least write it better? And this whole confrontation between superman and batman was just flat action. In the one moment superman wants batman's help in the next moment he start beating him up. And then showing his funeral for 10 minutes straight. Yes we got it superman is dead. Could've used some of that time on thinking about something better than "why are you saying that name".
Snyder did a great job with the directing tho. This movie is visually stunning and has great action (I'm talking about that one fight of batman that pleases my comic reader heart). Hans Zimmer also did a great job on the soundtrack; as always.
(And last thing but this is my own opinion: why did you have to make alfred some hipster oldy? He seems like he cares more about his looks and doesn't look at all like someone who was a special agent. Sorry but this character is just as laughable as lex Luthor. Grab a single batman comic and you'll find that whatever they tried to do in this movie: this isn't alfred.)
