Batman V Superman is exceptional

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2016)

Let's starts with the characters. Hands down, Ben Affleck is the Batman we've needed, been waiting for, and deserved. Never has a (cinema) Batman struck terror in me like this Batman, nor has any (cinema) Batman stayed true to comic Batman. There the was his famed detective work, the charismatic mask of Bruce Wayne, and over all Badassery. Each punch he threw, I was on the edge of my seat. But it was when his battle with Superman had started, that I was truly terrified. Most of what Batman did, in my own terms, was overkill. But as we know, Batman's purpose is to strike fear, which is exactly what he did. As for Jeremy Irons as Alfred, I was well amused by his dry sarcastic humor and his overall role. I wont say much on Jeremy Irons, because he was enjoyable and the perfect Alfred pennyworth.
Next, would be Wonder Woman. Admittedly, I was skeptical about Gal Gadot. I've never seen her in movies, and honestly I was scared how she would portray Wonder Woman. After all, the amazon is a female warrior of sheer awesomeness. However, Gal Gadot was absolutely amazing. She truly brought Wonder Woman to life in the way the amazon deserved.
Moving on, Amy Adams as Lois Lane gets all of my applauds. It's been awhile since Lois Lane has annoyed the sh*t out of me, like in the original cartoon and comics. However, before the fight with Batman and Superman ended, I was impressed with the character. I was really sold on Lois Lane, and for a moment I forgot how much she annoyed me.
Next, Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Honestly, this version of Lex reminded me of the Joker. I'm still not sure if that's a good or bad thing; however, I was amused. He did have Lex's notable qualities, like his cockiness. He left an impression on me, just not a Lex Luthor impression. But, I'm not opposed to seeing more of him.
Finally, Henry Cavil as Superman. I was bored on the scenes he was present, except for the fight scenes. Though his emotions and mental state felt genuine, I was not in awe of this Superman. Then again, has there ever been a good Superman? For the most part, I was really just distracted by Henry Cavil's facial expressions as the caped boy scout. They made me think he was constipated.
Now for the movie overall, I was impressed. It felt like a true comic book. Although, I could do without seeing Bruce's parents die again. It's like watching Uncle Ben die over and over. I get that his parent's death made him, but do we really need to replay it in the movie. Afterall, his parent's death is a meme. However,I will admit that the way it was presented was new and interesting. It wasn't boring, was fast, and had no talking. But to address the complaints people have made, i.e that it wasn't funny, too dark, too melodramatic and too philosophical. They are f*cking morons and have been watching too many marvel movies. The movie was a DC comic brought to life and shouldn't be compared to marvel. There was humor, I found myself laughing at the clever wit and rather blunt jokes. It wasn't forced and just flowed naturally. For a hardcore DC fan, the humor was obvious; however, it wasn't hard to understand for casual fans. As for the dark nature of the movie, admittedly it was there. However, it wasn't excessive, especially since a majority of the scenes had the dark knight. The real dark moments, would have to be the sheer violence and brutality of Batman. But, if people paid attention, they would have known that Zack Synder modeled the movie after Frank Miller's Dark Knight comics(as well as others). The darkness is justifiable. As for the melodrama, people need to get their heads out their ass. The movie focused on the consequences of actions perfectly. Would you honestly let Superman destroy your city and get off Scott free? No, you wouldn't, and that is what the movie focuses on. And finally, the accusations of too much philosophy. I refuse to touch that, because honestly, that's a bs complaint. Society was founded on philosophy, and is in everyone's basic principles. If a movie about two men questioning each others morals, thus sparking a war, doesn't intrigue you, you have no taste in movies.
The movie itself, was a work of beauty and long overdue.
