A refreshingly new take on the superhero genre

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2016)

DC has re-imagined its cinematic universe, and it is a breath of fresh air. We've gotten so used to our superheroes being completely perfect in the Marvel universe - there is nothing remotely dark about the MCU - that when a movie tries to break that mold, we freak out. I was a huge fan of Nolans re-imagined Batman Trilogy. Dark and gritty. Makes sense. It's Batman. Batman v Superman is a visual masterpiece. I highly recommend that you watch the Ultimate edition, as the studio made a huge mistake by making the Theatrical movie much shorter and losing some key plot momentum. That being said - Marvel is a fine tuned machine. It sticks to its safe, clean comedy - and that sells. However, DC did a great job with this movie - showing us a darker side to our favorite superheroes and bringing together two of the most iconic figures ever. The action is great, the plot makes sense, and considering the introduction of Batfleck...it was seamless. Which, by the way, Affleck might be the best one yet. It's time for us to demand more from our heroes. Give the DCEU a chance.
