Epic in Scale and World Building

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2016)

*THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NO SPOILER REVIEW* The wait is over, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is here and it is... Well, exactly what you should've expected.
Let's get into it: CHARACTERS:
BATMAN: I'm sure you've heard by now but Ben Affleck absolutely killed it as both Batman and Bruce Wayne. His motivations are clear and the effects of crime fighting after many years are apparent. Don't expect this Batman to be the same as anything you've seen before. His suit is amazing and realistic, his action scenes are just about the greatest action scenes in any CBM yet, and his voice is spot on. Oh, and Alfred is funny, capable, and witty in all the right ways. Perfect.
SUPERMAN: MoS but with a heavier burden. This Superman is a character I almost felt sorry for while watching. His action scenes are still top-shelf and his circumstances can't help but make you feel for this character.
WONDERWOMAN: I'm not going to say much but... YAAASSSSS. She's perfect in and out of costume. They absolutely nailed her character and the entire theater erupted when she came on screen. Epic.
LEX LUTHOR: Well, I liked him. Many people on the internet are divisive on him, but I sure liked him. He's manipulative, can't be reasoned with, and sort of insane. I can't really objectively review this character and you'd have to see for yourself to make an opinion. ACTION: Best action in a CBM by far in my opinion. All the fights, whether it be just one hero, hero v hero, or heroes v villain, I cannot complain. The visuals are stunning and the sound truly takes you in to the experience.
STORY: Lots of criticism from other people here. I don't get it. Yes, there are many subplots and story lines but they are extremely easy to follow. Cameos don't steal airtime from the main plot. There are two separate main stories here. The first, and the second. The first ends rather abruptly and transitions to the second but in life, isn't that how it is? You never know what to expect. An epic, huge story line that not only makes for a good movie, but sets up the DCEU rather well.
CONS: Some times the sound was way to loud. Way to loud. Deafening even. I can't even imagine if I saw it in IMAX. There are plot holes and inconsistencies and coincidences throughout but it doesn't really detract too much from the experience unless you let it. Some say it's too long, but I disagree. Some say the tone is too dark as well, but again I disagree. It's mature, and offers a nice deviation from Marvel (Who's movies I also love)
OVERALL: Epic, awesome, everything you could've wanted movie. Batman v Superman is an honor to behold (both the fight itself and the movie). Batman and WW stole the show (especially Bats) and the action is top notch. I recommend this to anyone who likes any of the characters, CBM in general, or just good action. Good job, Snyder. You kept me smiling the whole way through.
9/10 Watch it!!!
