Unbiased review ( Not Marvel or DC fan )

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2016)

Many people had different opinions on this movie but first we have to understand some hard truths before we dig into any review of any critics. Batman V Superman is the lone standing competition to Marvels Civil War and there is already many lobbies that want each other to fail. That includes the so called famous critics on the web. So My review is purely based on neutral grounds as I am neither a big fan of DC or Marvel. I have tried to see the movie just as a movie fan and not as a DC or Marvel supporter.
Now about the movie - Many people complained that the tone of the movie was wrong. Well I disagree. We have to understand that this movie is set on much darker times when people don,t cheer like crazy for superheroes nor they sing songs about them in the street with a guitar. People have seen collateral damage that these battles of good vs evil can bring. Even the heroes themselves have turned older and darker with time as they have evolved their own personalities. Bruce Wayne goes all guns against criminals and superman is not understanding when it comes to bat vigilante and refuses to reason with him first( he did threaten to kill him twice ). So the times are darker than they were before when you saw them in TV and the movie captures them very well. The fact is Superheroes can also be as dark as any villain when they are angry and that is the tone of the movie.Batman played by Ben Affleck was very good and the new intolerant Batman who spares no criminal was something that I liked a lot. This Batman is older mature and much more angry that shows how time has affected the superheroes and their thought process. He does not hesitate to kill or punish the criminals which I liked a lot. Batman of this kind will be feared by me if I was a criminal. Ben Affleck does a great job as Batman and suits well. The action scene in the warehouse was too good to describe and that was something that audience wanted to see from Batman for a long time as this time you could actually see all his moves. Superman's strength and silence was well portrayed by Henry Cavill. This God of strength was already fighting a battle of his own inside as there were so many opinions about his presence in the world. He was silent, angry and was trying his best not to be the monster that people and batman feared he would eventually be. Hence superman chose more of his time with Louise Lane as that is something most of the human beings do. When you are tired with the battle of the world you try to find peace in your loved ones.
Lex Luther however is a big issue for me as the evil genius was portrayed as a stubborn teen nerd who wanted to see batman and superman fight. The motive behind all his actions were not very clear and honestly, Lex Luther is expected to be a more mature and older man.You have made Batman older but forgot about Lex. WonderWoman had very less role in the first half of the movie and tried to be Ann Hathaway Catwoman stealing and deceiving Bruce but her action entrance where very good HOWEVER The plot was rushed and ended. The hatred that was brewing inside Batman could not have extinguished in one second as both their mothers had same name. Lex Luther kidnaps Superman's mother. You don't abduct the mother of a God like person with unimaginable powers in order to make him do your bidding, that is not evil genius Lex Luther, That is teen nerdy immature Lex Luther. Batman,s hatred towards Superman was because his battle with Zod had destroyed half of the city. But he forgot to realize that superman was fighting Zod to save the city and the planet that Zod wanted to destroy. That cannot be a reason for people to hate superman because his battles destroyed buildings. The same Batman damages public property with his own Bat-mobile when he chases bad guys. Is he too bat-retard to understand this simple logic?? How did Louise Lane know that Doomsday was created from Zod and could not resist Kryptonite for which she jumped back to get the same weapon that she threw herself.And what did Lex Luther gain in all of the Batman vs Superman conflict? Why he hated both? As i told the ending was rushed and story writers could have shown less and made a compact story instead of leaving small plots unanswered. This actually needed a part 2.
Honestly I did not hate the movie as few people are saying I think all should go and watch this but yes it could have been a masterpiece if the story writers had given a little more effort along with Zach.
