Confusing, yet intriguing plot, great casting and acting, amazing action and special effects

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2016)

Plot: The biggest gripe I and most moviegoers have is the confusing and disjointed plot. That is a legitimate concern, but if you just sit back and watch, the plot is bearable, even enjoyable. This is not the kind of movie you watch for the plot. The plot masterfully conveys the theme of the movie and provides a break from the intense and beautiful action scenes. The plot is carried by the compelling theme and refreshing new look at the two most popular superheroes, else it would be rated lower. Any number with a 6 in it does not do it justice, but 7 seems too high.(7/10) Acting and Casting: The casting for this movie was fantastic. I especially liked Ben Affleck as Batman and the casting of Lex Luthor. If you are like me and enjoy flawed and multi-dimensional characters you are in for a treat. The acting was also very good, and it is easy to understand and sometimes empathize with the character's emotions. (9/10) Action and Special Effects: This is a staple of any superhero movie, and this one did not disappoint. There is no shortage of fight scenes, explosions, and destruction. The non human beings look very real. The settings for the movie are also very realistic and diverse. Save a major advance in technology, it is hard to imagine the special effects being much better. (10/10) Conclusion: This movie is an amazing experience I would recommend to anyone. Do not get top hung up on the plot which can be all over the place. Just go with the flow and it will be much more enjoyable. The acting is amazing, along with the fight scenes and special effects. A must see movie that leaves a bit to be desired. (8/10)
