Man of Steal x10, dramatic, longer, and with Batman.

Rating: 5/10 (25 March 2016)

The moment has finally arrived, the day every nerd who asked their child friends, 'who would win in a fight between Batman and Superman' The first teaser caused us goosebumps, the first trailer made us excited, the next trailer made us sigh, but the next glimpses restored our faith. slightly.
The huge debate over the nerd web, is whether Batman V Superman is good. I can say it is really good to an extent. So, can we trust an alien form another planet to protect us, a rich disturbed billionaire doesn't think so, and will do what he can to stop him.
Firstly, the film is very good to an extent, but it's not perfect. What's great is the experience. Its mind blowingly stylised, with good cinematography (at moments) great score, and not too bad CGI. But the main issues are the narrative. Like others it does have a lot going on and there are things that can be taken out. I think there is a lot of context missing for some characters, but also parts of the story that are going on, and you sometimes just question what is happening but have to accept it. I could not really tell what directions some of the characters were going like Lex Luther.
Another problem was the structure. It starts off pulling you in and you're hooked but then it declines and loses its momentum, and then pulls it out of the bag in the final act. It is far too long for the basic story, but it does build up the tension.
I can agree that Ben Affleck was a great choice of casting for Batman, in my opinion Bale be better, but was great for this film. Henry Cavil reprises his role as the much darker version of Superman, but still with good will. Jessie Eisenberg plays the very crazy Lex Luther. I don't think he was bad but he was more Joker like than a subtle obsessed villain.
Overall, as Man of Steal was quite big and explosive, and Batman V Superman is more of this, but also much more loud, very dramatic, and has a very dark atmosphere. This makes me doubt the film's enjoyment for younger viewers. But I think in the future of the DC films, there is much more of this come.
So the first acts of the film are not so exciting and powerful, but the film really does explode an atomic bomb of cool and insane awesome in the last act. Dawn of Justice is an 8/10 but it is not perfect.
