BvS is a DC fans dream and ignites a world of wonder

Rating: 9/10 (28 March 2016)

Let's just get one thing straight.....all the people saying Batman v Superman sucks are wrong. All the critics giving it incredible hate are wrong. There's no way this film is as bad as everyone makes it out to be....and it's NOT. Regardless if it met your expectations or not, it still delivers a solid popcorn flick that is entertaining. So those saying it's terrible are wrong. It's not an opinion, it's fact. It's like saying Star Wars (the original) is terrible. That person would be considered an idiot and it's not an opinion because it's one of those films that can't be considered anything below "entertaining" and BvS fits into this category.
Now that the rant is over, time to talk about what was awesome in the film.
Batman: Ben Affleck, first hated upon the casting announcement, proves that he is the Dark Knight comic fans have been waiting for. He delivers a solid mix of the Batman we see in the comics, Arkham games and overall every Batman you could possibly think of (Adam West and earlier incarnations aside). He proves that he will become the best Batman once he gets his own film (Under the Red Hood please). Not only that, he balances Batman perfectly with Bruce Wayne, portraying the two with such ease you'd start to wonder that maybe he was born for this role.
Superman: I've read a lot of complaints saying how bland and boring Superman was, that he was given barely any screen time. I however found he was given equal screen time with Batman and I also found myself rooting for him in the final battle with Batman. He did what Superman needed to do and always has done.
Wonder Woman: The biggest surprise to me. Gal Gadot owns this role. You can still think she was miscast but ultimately she was bad ass in the role.
Oh and then there's Alfred! I wasn't really on board with Jeremy Irons as Alfred but he delivers something new to the role that escaped Michael Caine in The Dark Knight trilogy. Still Gotham's Sean Pertwee remains my favourite Alfred.
In regards to Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor....it's safe to say you'll either hate him or enjoy him thoroughly as the maniac. I enjoyed him as Lex. It was different but I kept thinking we could have had a better Lex Luthor.
The visuals in this film were stunning, the action incredible and the story was really good. A lot of people (and I mean everyone but me) complain that the film has poor pacing and feels like 5 films happening at once.....but I found that each and every character's story that they were going through tied effectively together with the overall story. The whole "feels like 5 films" thing bugs me. Think back to 2008 with a little Tarantino film call Inglourious Basterds. A film that at it's very core has multiple movies happening at once that tie together effectively to one main story. If you're going to use the argument that BvS feels like 5 films, then consider that this Tarantino film did essentially the same thing yet got acclaim from critics and audiences upon release. To me this renders the '5 films' opinion redundant.
Lastly, here's why I believe BvS got such bad reviews. Marvel has dominated the superhero film world, no doubt there. It created a standard for super hero films. The world of the MCU is kid friendly, light in tone, very different to the dark world of the DCEU. I believe critics and a lot of the audiences have been too wrapped up in Marvel films, the same formula executed every time (sure yes different stories but essentially the same styles) that when BvS hit.....the critics didn't know if they should say it's good or bad because it was completely different from a Marvel film so they decided to say it was bad. This happened with Man of Steel as well.
I am a die hard DC Comics fan, I read and bleed DC Comics. So when I say BvS is a DC Comics fan's dream you know I mean it.
This film is under rater, undeserved of the low ratings and ultimately delivers a new type of super hero film to see if you're sick of the same Marvel formula executed twice every year. It's time for change and it begins here.
