THIS is how comic books are actually written. There is rarely any levity and why would there be? Is death funny? Is war funny? No it is not.

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2016)

A fantastic film, apart from Eisenberg who should never have been cast as Lex Luthor, whose characterisation was terrible. The religious symbolism was great, which of course is probably the reason for the negative reviews from simple minded people who want the brainless tripe Disney serve up. Doh my head hurts I want a joke. THIS is how comic books are actually written. There is rarely any levity and why would there be? Is death funny? Is war funny? No it is not.
There have been criticism over the depiction of Superman. He carries the entire weight of the world on his shoulders, he's prepared to sacrifice himself for others, he always saves Lois and in difficult times he goes home to his mom (and dad), that is the Superman of the comics. The only flaw in how he's depicted is he doesn't have a genius level intellect.
Affleck is already the greatest on screen Batman which makes the hysterical reactions to the initial announcement one of the greatest middle fingers in cinema history.
BvS borrowed elements from the Injustice Gods Among Us comics - in how Superman was viewed by the public as an all powerful God, in how he was viewed by Batman and of course in how he blamed Batman for letting them take her (Lois) away from him or whatever it was said, presumably in reference to the dream sequence in which Darkseid's Parademons attacked with the obvious difference being in Injustice it was Batman's failure to stop Joker that lead to Lois being killed.
The only criticism that can be levelled at this, and most superhero films in general, is when they fudge origins. Doomsday's is deeply disturbing. He was created for the purpose of killing Superman, forced to evolve by being thrown to the dogs, killed and killed thousands of times until he became an unstoppable monster. He was not General Zod re-animated. He was also far too big and the lack of bone spurs, which are of course his trademark, was unforgivable.
The Aquaman reveal was tremendous.
When Wonder Woman appeared and her music hit it sent chills down my spine. Disney have dropped the ball. Women are crying out for strong female heroes, from Ronda Rousey, the US Women's Soccer team, Rey from Star Wars, the Hunger Games etc, etc. Female journalists, reviewers and girls everywhere will go crazy over the film. If she's written as well as she was here I think it will break a billion dollars worldwide.
The negative criticism is not going to stop the film from being a monstrous success. As of the fourth of April 2016 the film has taken in $686 million worldwide from total production and marketing costs of around $410 million and that's before product placements, which at a bare minimum, will have brought in $100 million. It's hard to believe WB won't break the $800 million mark and that's a $500 million profit. Haters are gonna hate.
Reviewers? You need to re-evaluate your ideas of what a superhero film should be.
