A movie of extremities.

Rating: 6/10 (23 August 2016)

A note before the actual stuff: I did not see the movie in the theaters as it is almost impossible to see anything in its original form (regarding audio language) in my country. I already had bad experiences with Ultron for example, which was quite bad due to the misuse of voice talents. Although I would not say the movie was actually any good either. Also, I had the pleasure to watch the extended cut, which is half an hour longer than the theatrical version. Getting to the point the whole movie is all over the place due to the extremely inconsistent writing. It is not unusual nowadays when movies like Prometheus come out with extremely dull plots. Most of these films feature a few scenes which are good, while the whole thing just would not add up into a coherent overall. This is the exact case with BvS, as it is pretty much about a few over-the-top scenes. These parts are good, they are well directed and realized on film. If someone goes for the story, well it is the most simple thing that you can possibly think of. Faithful is another word I would not say when talking about the movie as both Batman and Superman seem distant compared to the ones portrayed in earlier movies and comics. I personally enjoyed the movie, it was not too long even with the 3 hours long playtime. It had enough space for characters at least, even if the motivations and other stuff was not realized too well. I am really starting to hate Eisenberg, as I pretty much see the same acting over and over again from him. Extremely irritating. Speaking of the casting, the young Bruce Wayne also seemed out of touch. The more bad-ass Alfred is another thing, but he fits the darker mood well. While the god thing was pretty much underdeveloped, it had a few decent moments mostly due to the visual style. It is something always nice to see. I would not call this movie bad, but it is definitely not a good DC movie. One of the most developed universes out there, and still cannot produce a decent plot for a movie which already has a great premise. I had big problems with the story of the seventh Star Wars, but I would say that was a worse movie overall. BvS is just the movie I would rate 6.5 if I would be able to. For now I would settle with a okayish 6 out of 10.
