Great movie and that's it what it is!

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2016)

Nothing will ever be perfect for everyone, but there's really not much, if not nothing, to criticize about this movie! It's a very good movie, don't pay any attention to those who try to diminish it as if they had to show how much they allegedly know about movie-making by destroying such a good works! A movie's main purpose is to entertain the viewers in such a way that they get to sucked in into the story, and that's something this one made effortlessly! And that's something the so called critics seem to have forgotten! I truly and honestly don't understand the hate of some of them! It's as if they were luring in the shadows, just waiting to jump out and criticize, because that's what it's expected from them, not because they actually have anything bad to say! So instead of being creative ourselves, why not be destructive, it's much easier! Just silly! Great story, great plot, even greater acting (by all of the actors! For all of the characters!) and also a believable take for a superhero movie, something which comes directly from the pages of comics and thus fantasy! And still... you can identify yourself with the any of the main characters! You feel the tiredness, the angst, the doubt, the rage, the fear,...
I read somewhere that Affleck was Batman and I must agree! Affleck is Wayne, Cavill is Kent! After Bale for Batman and specially after the iconic Reeve for Superman these two guys had no easy task to master, but guess what, they did it! They pulled it off! These 2 are just as legitimate as any other before them! Very interesting to see what happens during such fights from our human perspective! Somehow unsettling but also so real! I would truly give this film an 8.5 or a 9 (as nothing would ever get a 10 and there's always a little something one would like a bit more if it had been made as it was in one's head), but since I've seen some people trolling around and giving it 1 or 2 just to drag it down, well... that's not fair and I'd like to try to oppose it! So badly that I even created my account just to be able to review this film and vote for it! Eisenberg delivers an interesting Luthor, not the kind you would be used to or expecting, but not less legitimate nor believable! Gadot marks a new era, a more than welcome one, for such an important DC character as Wonder Woman, with such a refreshing but strong presence. All of the rest of the cast did a great job! Directing was awesome! The pace! Two and half hours which didn't feel as such! Just the right combination of depth and action, darkness and hope...
Doomsday and his origin story, yes, somehow different than in the comics, but in its essence, just as terrible, just as discomforting and unsettling! They did a great job honoring the source material and also the looks, being respectful towards it, but at the same time trying to create something new enough to not be too predictable and setting the first stone for a new storytelling! People tend to forget that these two characters have been around for over 75 years, being thought a and redefined over this time in countless comics and other media over and over again, changes have been made so often, so many different creative teams, so many stories, so many different artists, drawers, writers, sometimes even quite opposite and contradictory between them... what do those so called critics want in 2.5 hours?! What kind of miracle are they expecting?! How would anyone truly expect to have every single aspect of every single story in one film?!
Marvel has been building up a scaffold, a framework for it's story over the last 8 years! This one's just the second one of hopefully a whole bunch to come to tell a complete story! Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Marvel fan, maybe even bigger than a DC one, but I do know how to appreciate their differences and the other kind of storytelling! I'm looking forward to see more of it and I hope this movie and all of the involved get the recognition they deserve for doing such a great work! Affleck was great! I always believed in him as Batman! I'm sure he'll make even better (should that even be possible?!) in his next solo movie! Irons, well, what do you think?! Of course he's good! A different kind of Alfred, but a very likable and appealing one! Cavill is the new Superman! Adams is Lane (I didn't buy it that much in Man of Steel, but now I have no doubt!). Eisenberg is the new Luthor and will turn to be the one people would have been waiting! Great movie! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Don't let it pass you by!
PS1 I went with a friend of mine who usually has very high expectations and who was somehow skeptical (although he committed himself to stay open and to not have any kind of actual expectation) as for him Batman was Bale and no one else, and other than Nolan's was quite difficult to imagine, and ha was surprised and excited about the movie! He said that's a movie to buy as soon as it comes out for home media!
PS2 Maybe the only problem the movie has was not in the movie itself, but in the second theatrical trailer as Doomsday was shown! As a bit too much of the plot was revealed beforehand! Less trailer would have meant more movie! And I think that might have been part of the problem with some!
