I was wrong, this movie didn't sucked.

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2016)

Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice review: Well like most people who have seen DC and Zack Snyder movie's, I went into this film with a grain of salt. I expected it to be a major suck fest with whining emotional heroes who hate themselves and lots of needless violence and explosions. I was prepared to waste 2 and a half hours of my life. I will admit, I was wrong. While this movie wasn't the Popcorn movie that Marvel puts out, it was very enjoyable. Yes, it was still dark in nature but not unbearably so, it melded the light and dark into something that makes you go Hmmmm.
Now first, the flaws: The movie is, as stated, really long. However, as long as it is, it still felt rushed in a way. Trying to cram too much into this little space. So, empty your bladders before the movie because, chances are, you will miss a key plot point if you get up for those few seconds. The first half was almost unbearably slow coupled by the fact that the editing of the movie was sub-par at best. It didn't have a natural flow and seemed really choppy at points. Be prepared to settle into a scene and then go WTF, what happened.
Now the highs: Let's get this out of the way first. The Internet's biggest OMG moment was casting Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne. People cited Daredevil and said it was a mistake. As I have stated before, he did a good job in Daredevil, but was limited by the crapping writing of that movie. Here in BvS, he was an OUTSTANDING Batman/Bruce Wayne combo. He portrayed Batman like he should be. A great fighter who relies on his speed and agility as well as gadgets, not just a stand still guy who gets a lucky shot. Kudos Ben, you done good.
Second, and this was my biggest fear going into the movie. Man of Steel sucked. Superman was portrayed as a whining little "bitch" who hated himself and his powers. Not so much here. Superman acts like Superman and displays his powers in full force. Yes there are moments where he has self doubt, but considering what happened previously in this movie, this time they were understood.
Thirdly, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman was incredible. She played the classic Greek Goddess, beauty, brains, skill and a lot of acting talent. She lit up the screen in each of her scenes. Plus, she is not bad to look at.
Let's move on to Lex Luthor as played by Jesse Eisenburg. This isn't the Lex we all know and love. This one was something completely different but still a Wow factor. This one was straight evil and psychotic but with a genius still beneath. Go into the movie with an open mind on Lex and you may find his performance enjoyable.
I won't review plot as I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, but I will say this. 1st act, slow to buildup. 2nd act, fast paced and action packed. And let's face it, the first time you see the Trinity of Supes, Bats and WW on screen, it will make you feel all child-like and happy.
I say, go see it. And this is coming from a Marvel fan-boy
