Way Too Edgy

Rating: 6/10 (17 March 2019)

Felt rushed. I am disappointed with how they portrayed Batman. He killed most of the goons in almost every fight scene. There was an inspiring scene about how Superman talks about each others family and it reminds him that he doesn't want kids to grow up as he did. And then two minutes later he explodes a four by four car full of people. Perhaps a little too edgy. Zack Snyder is capable of directing great movies. But he is mainly great at making edgy movies with a really dark tone. Like Watchmen for example. For what he gave us, the pace moved nicely. People didn't like Ben Affleck as Batman even before his performance. But I think he's great. Just a terrible script. There was too much slow-mo. And I also felt like we didn't get enough Batman v Superman action - which is quite ironic since the title is called Batman v Superman. I will never like Amy Adams as Lois Lane.
They easily could've just cut Adams side story out. I could've been more surprised if Lois didn't build up to Lex's secret. I thought it was cool getting Bruce's perspective on Superman way of justice. I don't know why, but when Lois was trying to get spear for Doomsday it bugged me. I hated that scene so much. Jesse Eisenberg didn't play Lex Luthor he played Lex Luthor Jr. I found him ok but even though he is his son - I preferred the old Luthor big and tough. Interesting bringing Wonder Woman to the screen. It has been years since we got her on the big screen, and we were lucky to get Gal Gadot to play her; that costume was great. I was very disappointed to see them kill off Jimmy Olsen. He was wasted. He died so quickly as well. Doomsday CGI was awesome. Thinking that a bigger movie could only introduce such a big character like Doomsday.
Superman, unlike in Man of Steel, had emotion put in him. I didn't like Jeremy Irons as the legendary butler. The Justice League clip was fantastic. I love Flash and can't wait to see Flash in his upcoming movie. The weird flash forward was just weird and unneeded. Not the worst thing I have seen. I don't understand how this was supposed to be a commercial for Justice League. They included one single scene which contained a few of the original League members from comics. It's like saying Iron Man was a commercial for the first Avengers movie because it stared Iron Man. the sound track was awesome - the best in the DCEU so far. The dialogue between Batman and Superman could have definitely been improved. To sum up: Lois Lane is Lame, Batman is too edgelord, Superman hasn't improved since last time I saw him on the big screen, the dialogue was bad, and it was bad-ass!
