Disappointed? ...I'm still not sure...

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2016)

OK, so there's already nearly 1,600 reviews of this movie, which on it's own is kind of crazy, so I won't make this one very long. First off, I was very sceptical about Affleck. I think he's a great actor, and I never had any doubt about his sincerity of the role, I just wasn't sure he was the right choice. I now take back anything I said, because he was absolutely incredible! As were nearly all of the cast members...any disappointment I had was not due to the actors.
Here are my gripes. There really did feel like too much was crammed in, story-wise. It's not like it was all over the place, but the pacing felt a little off, and it seemed like they were trying to tell so much that it kind of gets lost in itself.
The title of the movie (maybe I'm being too hard on this point, but it really did irritate me to a degree). Batman VS Superman! The match up you've all been dying for! Hours of Youtube video and endless forum threads have been dedicated to debating this, and here we give it to you on the big screen!!! For a good solid 5-10 minutes out of a 2 1/2 hour movie. Of COURSE Superman would mop the floor with Batman if he entered the battle with that intention, but for the film to parade itself out with that as the title, you kind of expect a bit more of it to materialize. Dam near click bait is what it is.
That, and Doomsday. He was the only character that was really a swing and a miss.
Other than that, the action was awesome, acting was incredible, dialogue was well written, and overall it was a great movie (if predictable). It's NOT the "best comic book movie of all time" and it doesn't "put Marvel to shame", as some fan boys have written, but it really is a fun movie to watch. I look forward to the JLA, and I hope they don't give me anything to be disappointed about.
