They learned from the Man of Steel and delivered a great movie!

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2016)

I just saw BVS (not Buffy the Vampire Slayer.... I am talking about Batman vs Superman) and here are my thoughts
SPOILER ALTERT
I score it 9/10
I loved Batman vs Superman! I loved the mature mythological line of thought, I actually liked Ben Afflick as Batman/Bruce Wayne. And Wonder Woman? It was interesting and cool (even though you can see some Xena elements, but then we saw Wonder Woman elements in Xena, so I guess the circle is complete). I want to see now the Wonder Woman movie.
She showed up in the right moment and convinced us she is a powerful warrior capable of fighting a kryptonian monster.
I found very interesting the comparisons with god, false gods and false messiah, and the way they portrayed Superman's vulnerability, which is not kryptonite, but his humanity, his feelings. How, in the middle of the battle he can just fly away to rescue Lois or his mother, instead of focusing on the real threat.
Bruce Waynes nightmares, and Flash's warning, prove this could be very important and dangerous in the future. And that Lex Luthor figure it out right away and used them against him.
Lex Luthor new take was refreshing. Not the Lex we are used to, but very modern, and has lots of potential.
I loved the grown up Bruce Wayne.
The movie kept my attention every second. I didn't look at my watch once, and couldn't find a minute that I could spare to go to the bathroom.
I would have loved to see more of the Clark/Lois relationship. And of course more Superman. But the movie revolved around the Superman effect in the world after the events of Man of Steel, and Bruce Wayne reaction to it.
The people that made this movie learned from the Man of Steel, and limited the fights and violence length to what is necessary and avoided long and boring battle scenes and excessive destruction.
My only complaint, and it is a very minor complain, is regarding Doomsday and the Death of Superman. I think Doomsday should have been an entire movie, not just the final 10 minutes.
But since we know Superman will come back to life, maybe we will see Doomsday comeback in another movie and make more damage.
I like it that DC is differentiating themselves from Marvel by making mature movies, while Marvel make lighter movies. I like them both. There is space for both. And Deadpool proved that there is space for adult superhero movies too.
What I expect for the future?
Well, I would love to see a Man of Steel solo movie before the Batman solo movie, since they stole a sequel from us with BvS.
There is a Justice League movie coming up, so maybe they could flirt with a relationship between Superman and Wonder Woman.
This movie opens the door to many things. I hope they make them great!
NEW ENTRY
OK. I just saw BvS for the third time. I still like it, but now I am scoring it around 7. The reason? Superman never speaks! I mean whats the point of having Lois Lane as your girlfriend if you are not going to give her an exclusive interview explaining what happened? That would have been so easy! I was expecting a more vocal Superman.
