Underrated and very misunderstood masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2020)

I'm gonna start by saying that this review is of the Ultimate Edition, which contains 30 minutes of extra footage and is vastly superior. I do, however love the theatrical edition aswell but it isn't as good.
I absolutely adore this movie. Everything from Zimmer's and JunkieXL's bombastic score, to the deeply emotional and grounded character motivations, to the amazing portrayals of Batman and Superman.
Sure, some elements of the movie doesn't work all that well. For example, Doomsday is a very bland and uninteresting villain, and Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of the iconic Lex Luthor is very strange. But even these odd/bad things do wonders for the story. Doomsday serves his purpose quite well and doesn't really need to be anything more, as he isn't a villain, but more of a tool to unity our heroes.
The reason I believe this movie is disliked as much as it is, is, apart from studio meddling, that people came into it expecting a very action-heavy brawl between Batman and Superman, and instead got a very character driven, somber story about the duties and responsibilites of being a hero. And I can't blame them, that's how it was marketed, but it's not the focus of this film.
Also, that warehouse fight-scene is the single best action scene of batman. ever.
