Batman V Superman is pretty great!!

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2016)

So I saw batman v Superman at an IMAX showing midnight, and beforehand, reading reviews, I was a bit cautious. I am a big comic book fan, and a massive DC fan and loved Man of Steel, so I was a bit worried about some of the critic reviews.
let me say, the critics were definitely being harsh. Does this film have faults? yes. Is it perfect? no. But I went to watch a film where Batman and Superman fight, and I wanted to see superhero action and I definitely got it.As well as action, the film also dealt with relevant, interesting themes, like the concept of power, corruption etc and I really loved this, and how the ideologies of Batman and Superman, as well as Lex were represented.
The fight scenes were spectacular, especially Batman's. I don't want to say too much, but simply put, they look like the Arkham games put on the big screen. Wonderwoman also had an amazing fight scene as well, and Superman's powers were well demonstrated.
The soundtrack, cinematography and script all looked and sounded good, and Ben Affleck was amazing as Batman. Henry cavill was also great, as was Gal Gadot. jesse Eisenberg's lex luthor is an either you love him or hate him portrayal, but I really enjoyed it.
There are criticisms however. The film is packed with a lot and as a result can get complicated and slightly confusing, and certain scenes jump quickly, which can be a bit jarring. Also, for people who are not well read in the comics, certain things which happen might be confusing and a bit random, yet for fans they are amazing and tease the wider DC universe.
Overall Batman V Superman was amazing in my opinion, yes, it was not perfect, but I enjoyed it and I reckon if you are a comic book fan you will too. It might leave general audiences a bit puzzled however. But i do definitely recommend it!!!
