A greatly compelling movie.

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2017)

This movie was one of the most controversial movies released in 2016, and although it wasn't perfect, I find this movie truly excellent.
Theatrical release- There are some problems, such as the plot holes that were found throughout the film. Because the movie run time had to be cut down from 3 hours to 2.5 hours lots of important information was lost. Many aspects of Lex Luthor's plan didn't make sense because of this, as well as the whole desert scene and the scenes with superman investigating Batman (which is in the ultimate edition.) Overall, the theatrical release was good but wasn't as good as it could have been. 6.5/10
Ultimate Edition- Though some may feel as though sitting through three hours of a superhero action blockbuster is a waste of their time, they will be proved wrong with this one. BVSUE is a great movie. As stated previously, the plot holes that made the theatrical cut hard to understand were completely filled in this movie. The desert scene at the beginning of the film actually serves a purpose instead of just being some sort of gun fight with Superman saving Lois. The plot makes sense and Lex Luthor's ingenious plan to kill/ stop Superman is absolutely incredible. Kudos to Zack Snyder and Chris Terrio for that one. 9/10
SPOILER- In defense of the Martha scene, many complained that Batman only ceased to kill Superman because that when Superman said Martha, he realized that their mothers had the same name. This, however, is not the case. The reason Batman didn't kill superman when he had the chance was that he realized that if he killed the man of steel, he would be taking a child away from his mother just as his parents were taken from him. Just putting that out there. ---
This movie, with a compelling story line and smart plot on top of 3 great action sequences makes it a wonderful action movie. This movie really captures the essence of a good comic book movie and compiles some great action scenes. My only complaints are what I said about the Theatrical Version, and also that this is a movie that needs to be understood, and may have to be watched more than once to get ones head around it.
My age classification for this movie would be 11+. Do not expect to sit down and watch the Avengers with this movie. Although it has amazing action and fights, it is also a dark drama and almost crime movie. Younger children may also enjoy, but it is really idea for those 11 and older.
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is one of those movies that people may not like at first, but will become greatly appreciated over time.
