Suddenly this film became one of the best I've ever seen!

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2016)

I had been looking forward to this movie for months! But the anticipation quickly left when I started watching. At a length of 3 hours (The Extended Cut), I wasn't sure if I was going to make it, because let's face it, I fell asleep during Titanic, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit. All long films. And if it wasn't for the fact that I had been looking forward to this film for so long, I probably wouldn't have made it! The real action doesn't start until Batman finally comes out in his Bat mobile –about an hour into the film! Anything before that just felt like filler! But once that Bat mobile came out, oh man, was I hooked! The film suddenly made a 360 degree turn around. Instead of boring filler, a back story that –although kind of had to be told– could've been dealt with a lot quicker, the film became what everyone was expecting. It was action packed, it was full of Batman V Superman standoffs, not just between the two characters, but between the whole population of Gotham. Suddenly this film became one of the best I've ever seen! The only two downfalls of this film were Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, –one of the best actors I've seen in a long time btw– but his character reminded me too much of Heath Ledger as The Joker. It was like his whole character was based upon him. It was very distracting! The second downfall was that Batman got changed to save Martha. He has such a cool, albeit half broken, uniform after Superman smashed the crap out of him. Alas, when he got back in his Bat plane, he was back to his inferior Bat suit.
