They flew too close to the sun

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2016)

When I first went to see this movie I went into it completely blind. I knew the main characters would be Batman and Superman with small cameos of Wonder Woman and Doomsday but I got something much different. Although it was different I was pleasantly surprised. I grew up a DC fan and have collected the comics forever. Believe me when I say that this is the first time every character (except Lex Luthor) played their roles exactly like they were portrayed in the comics. Ben Affleck had and amazing, gritty portrayal of Batman that honestly is how he is supposed to be played.I also enjoyed Superman much more this time around.
But this movie tries to put way too much story lines into this movie. Just so you know how many story lines they put I will list them out Death of Superman, Batman vs Superman, Justice League Origin, Darkseid or Apocalypse origin, and hinting at The Killing Joke. This movie tries to do entirely too much but that being said THEY HAVE TOO!!! People do not seem to understand this but DC has about 2 to 3 years to catch up to Marvel before it becomes impossible. They have to kick things off fast. They do not have the same amount of time that Marvel does. DC kicked things off amazingly with this movie though.
Finally I want to add that Marvel and DC are not the same comic books. Stop comparing them now or you will just be disappointed. DC is much more gritty and dark than Marvel and people need to accept that.
