The thing I liked most was that it had the balls to do what I have been criticizing the Marvel movies for not doing.

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2016)

"The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world. God vs man. Day vs night. Son of Krypton vs Bat of Gotham." During the battle in the air between Superman (Cavill) and General Zod buildings are destroyed and people are injured. One of the buildings that were toppled was Wayne Tower and many of the employees were killed. Bruce Wayne (Affleck) feel that Superman is a danger to the city and wants him gone. What starts off as an intense hatred and rivalry soon becomes something more when the figure out the only way to save the city is to work together. It is very well documented that fact that I am not a bug superhero (other than Batman) movie fan at all. I think there are just too many of them to be exciting and there is no drama since you know the next 7 movies that will be made involving the same characters. I was also not a huge fan of Man of Steel. Because of those reasons I was not all that excited about this movie, and it could have been due to that, but I really liked this one a lot. There were some pretty big problems I had with some of the character choices, but none of that really affected the overall enjoyment of the movie. This is very very dark and not light hearted like the Marvel movies at all, which I liked. This movie did a good job of setting up the new DC universe, but the thing I liked most was that it had the balls to do what I have been criticizing the Marvel movies for not doing. For that reason alone I am looking forward to the next installment in this franchise. Overall, for someone that is sick of all the comic book movies being released I have to say I really liked this one and am looking forward to what's next for Batman and Superman. For what it's worth I highly recommend this and it continues the darkness that Nolan started. I give this an A-.
