Just got back from a 12:35 am showing.....

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2016)

And I was blown away. The fight scenes alone are worth the cost of admission. It's a visual spectacle. As a Batman fan I was excited to see him really fight in live action. Affleck did an excellent Bat and Bruce. He had a very The Animated Series vibe. As did Alfred. Most of the levity came from Alfred as a result. Very sarcastic. Wonder Woman was excellent as everyone has said, pretty much. You see the joy in her face when she is fighting. Superman/Clark does Superman things. Saving people and stopping disasters. I loved the way Eisenberg played Lex. He's the intelligent and manipulative Lex we expect. Lois was well used. She's the intrepid reporter and pivotal to the story.
I went into the movie having read a lot of the negative reviews, so I was looking for the problems I'd read about. I had no issues with the pacing. I thought it moved along fine and despite its length, and the late hour, I never lost interest. Though to be fair I love the universe. The editing problems I read about were again overblown in my opinion. I had no issues with the transitions, but perhaps the extended cut will smooth that out for those who had a problem with it.
Overall, I genuinely enjoyed it. Really, really, really enjoyed it. I really don't get the heavy negative criticism it's gotten. It reminded me a lot of the current Justice League animated movies. Judging by the turnout and general fan response it seems audiences liked it while critics panned it. While critics are fans as well as critics they have an inherent bias regarding how they feel a comic book universe movie should be made. And that way seems to be the Marvel method. This certainly isn't that type of movie and critics seemed to dislike the tone. If you watch it without a hard notion of what a comic book movie should be and go into it with an open mind I think you'll enjoy it. Maybe a lot.
