Could have been better!

Rating: 7/10 (25 March 2016)

Starting on a slightly frustrating note. I don't have to spoil anything for you. They already did with those three trailers. They really need to re-think their strategy next time. The success value of such super hero films (where there are more than one central character) is particularly based on certain 'moments' in the film, unless of course you have a super brilliant script at your disposal.
Now if you kill those beautiful moments - a couple of months even before the release of the movie - then that literally kills the movie upon release.
The script is ordinary in many ways. Some really 'fantasy' stuff happens (Luthor creating Doomsday was easier than someone stirring up a lemon shake).
Clichéd and predictable ending didn't help either. I felt both the central characters had very little 'motivation' to hate the other one.
But everything said .. it is Superman Vs Batman .. If you like either or both of them then the film is worth a watch. I felt the film is more Batman oriented though Superman saves the day ultimately.
The actors fit well in their roles. Ben Affleck exceeded expectations easily. WonderWoman has been gracefully incorporated into the scheme of things (her backstory pending)
Lex Luthor - acted well but was different from the Luthor that I know - Dark Knight's Joker invariably crept in - and eventually ended up a lunatic instead of that serious villain that we all know - who had a reason (however childish that may be) to hate Superman in the comics.
The BG Scores were good. The action and the CGI was good. Still many things lacked clarity (unlike Avengers where we could 'see the fight')
To summarize - I enjoyed the film but left with a dropping head. Had there been NO TRAILERS it would have been a 7.5 movie. Now it's just a 7 for me.
