People were too harsh on this movie

Rating: 8/10 (22 April 2016)

SPOILERS!: One thing that turned me off from this movie was the fact that Batman indirectly killed people. Batman indirectly killing wasn't the only complaint, but it was the main one. But we have to take into account this Batman was a soldier who saw people he loved killed. The many years of him fighting a war in the streets of Gotham with little to no help as the years went on ended up hardened our dear Dark Knight. His methods might have changed, his moral code in the movie is questionable, but when Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), he did kill. People can't say he's never killed, when truth is; he did. Now Batman didn't kill anyone directly, but he did allow the bad guys to die. In Batman Begins when Ras Al Ghoul was on the train about to hit a building Batman looks at him and says "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you." Ras killed himself. The dream sequence with Bruce in a world where Superman was a dictator he used guns. Batman was dreaming and his mind went to the worse possible scenario, he would have to resort to something he didn't want to. This was a dream people, not real. Move passed it now.Lets go to the chase scene with Batman and Superman. Everyone was up in arms over this, "Superman let the Bad Guys get away!" is what I was hearing. Yeah, but think about this. Batman was attacking and trying to steal something from Lex Luthor. Or just stealing in general. In Superman's eyes, he was stopping Batman from being a thief. He also wanted to warn Batman. He didn't agree with his methods and wasn't aware of why the detective was going after the truck that was just carrying cargo. Superman was stopping a robbery, yay him! He thought he was doing good and the bad guys got away. He's not the detective; perhaps again he thought this was another of Batman's unreasonable way of doing things.Lois and Superman are kind of a packaged deal. The two need to be together. In the older movies with Christopher Reeve Superman is usually saving Lois. She was a necessary character, her role was to help Superman, she cares about him and wanted to make sure he did the right thing and was safe. She also wanted to help, Lois generally gets herself in trouble... a lot, so her needing to be rescued. She was helping in her own way.Lois is Superman's favorite human, that's why he saves her over other people.Lex Luthor was interesting in this movie. I think he was perfect. To be honest I didn't think he would do a good job as Lex, but the actor played him well. From what we learned about Lex he did have a right to go a bit screwy. He suffered as a child and was scarred from it. Mentally he suffered and he saw Superman and suddenly he was intrigued. Why? Superman was an alien, a God. Someone who would stand over him. Lex couldn't let that happen so he had to do something about it. He used Zodd's body to create something that could take out 'God' as he thought. Technically Zodd's memories could have transferred over to Doomsday. His mind was still Zodd's and his brain and personally were technically still in there. When people are Cryo Frozen the doctors hope to preserve the person's memories and personality by freezing their minds. That way when they figure out how to bring them back, the person will still be themselves. So Doomsday had Zodd's memories, Zodd got an upgrade. That is why Doomsday hated Superman.Wonderwoman was shocked by Batman's e-mail! Oh no he knows about her! Well yeah, she didn't think anyone would research into her past and was shocked that someone found out she was older than she really was. That is why she was shocked. Batman found out that she was around a lot longer than she claimed to. Batman's past, needed to be there so they could use it during the fight between him and Superman. The Martha name! That's why it was relevant and just a recap of what happened to him since Superman's story was told in Man of Steel. Also loved Alfred, he was perfect for this film, character and actor.Batman vs Superman! The title and the fight! Yes finally the fight we had all been waiting for. Batman was scared of Superman, after the destruction of Metropolis and seeing what it did to the city, Bruce had a reason to be angry and scared of Superman like everyone else. But Bruce has resources and ways he can take care of Superman. If anyone was going to take the blame for killing Superman and save the world from this threat, it might as well be Batman. He was scared, but we saw it in the fight. He couldn't lose. Batman wanted to prevent his nightmare from coming true and people becoming slaves to the Son of Krypton. So him and Superman fight, again Batman is worried fort he safety of everyone on the planet and doesn't want to hear what Superman has to say. So the two fight it out. Right before Batman delivers the final blow to Superman, he hears Superman say his mother's name. This was unexpected. He thought maybe Superman was using this against him and was angry that he would dare use his dead mother against him. But once he found out it was Clark's mom's name, and heard she was going to die he didn't want to let it happen again. An innocent woman being taken from her child. In a way Batman saving her was Bruce's way of saving his mother. He didn't want Clark to lose his mother like he lost his. (Had more to say, but word limit on IMDb)
