The word Underrated gets thrown around a lot these days!

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2016)

This film is the most underrated movie I have actually seen. Going into this film knowing about all the negative reviews, the Rotten Tomato score, etc... I still was excited to see my two favourite superheroes on the big screen for the first time. I left the theatre wondering how in God's name did the critics get this so wrong?
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but mine is this: this movie exceeded my expectations. Ben Affleck is honestly the best Batman I've ever seen (Keaton close second; also not including voice acting - the amazing Kevin Conroy). I loved every second of Bruce Wayne/Batman, and his dynamic with Jeremy Irons' Alfred. Everybody knows about the warehouse scene, which is the best Batman fighting scene ever put to screen.
Henry Cavill is a great Superman. I do feel like Batman may have taken the spotlight away from him, but I am looking forward to see where they go with him. The returning cast from Man of Steel was great, with a heart felt cameo appearance!
Gal Gadot was terrific as Wonder Woman, my only complaint with this has to do with the marketing. It would have been much better to have not known anything about Wonder Woman appearing in the film until release (would have made an epic entrance even better).
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex is... different. I wasn't a fan at first but then after repeat viewings he grew on me as I realized, this is a fresh take on the character (though I could not help but picture Michael Rosenbaum delivering those lines.... man that would have been special).
One of the best characters in this film was the score by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL. "The Beautiful Lie" is the most powerful song in the film, appearing at the beginning- the Wayne murder (which by the way was probably the best interpretation of it to date), and the famous "MARTHA" scene (which is one of the most powerful scenes in the film with Affleck's line delivery partnered with the music). Wonder Woman's theme also kicks some major arse and all the returning music from Man of Steel was great!
To date I have seen this film 3 times, and each time I enjoyed it more and more. Is it perfect? No, no film is. I rated this a 10 because that is simply how much I enjoyed it.
