IGNORE THE CRITICS, The Bias is Real!

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2016)

Like many, I made the mistake of looking at 'critical' reviews before seeing this film for myself; and tbh, they destroyed my excitement. Never before has a single movie been attacked so much from the word 'go' (going as far back as its announcement at Comic- Con) So it's understandable why I and many other fans would get on the defence.
It's obvious there's a critical bias against DC in favour of Marvel, but even if you'd missed the 1st half of this movie, the 2nd half is enough pure entertainment to grant the film AT LEAST 50%! Anything less than that is sheer, blatant spite.
Honestly, this movie isn't perfect by any means, there are tonnes of different ways to have done certain parts of this...
I feel Batman/Bruce was portrayed entirely wrong. Bats has always been the knowledgeable, patient detective; and in this film, he's just murderous straight off the 'bat" - however - Affleck was born to play Batman and I couldn't imagine Bale or anyone else from now on.
The scenes in which Superman saves ppl should have been longer and shown his caring side (talking to them etc) Also would've liked to see more Clark / Lois reporting.
Lex was too wild, Billy Zane would've been my choice, or Eisenberg should've harnessed as much 'Clancy Brown' as he could in his performance.
The BvS fight should've been at least 5mins longer and NO BATHROOM SINK!
Things I LOVED...
Alfred is hilarious and even better than TDK version. Should've been a little more of him and Bruce.
Zack Snyder's grandeur, scale and attention to detail are impeccable. The recap Metropolis scene is AWESOME!
Batman's warehouse fight scene is an instant classic. THAT'S HOW ITS DONE!
I loved the new approach to Doomsday and am positive we're not done with him! (Doomsday doesn't die, he regenerates and evolves to be immune to the same afflictions) Remember, he's practically an infant version in this.
Wonder Woman is badass! Should've been a little more of her.
Nods to the comics and original material shows just how much Snyder knows and loves the characters.
I actually liked "Martha" as you forget they share the same name and it makes Bruce realise Clark is more human than alien and in the end, he loves his mother and she's in trouble. This gives Bruce a chance to save Clark's Martha and redeem himself for past guilt and a lifetime of personal demons. I thought it was very touching and handled very well. It also lead to possibly the best scene in the whole film!
The Score is by far one of the best in any comic book movie you'll ever hear... Ever!
Conclusion... Could've been done a tonne of different ways to make it better (Characterization is the key!) but still a good effort and plenty classic moments!
