Really enjoyed this.....definitely one for the fans

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2016)

Batman Vs Superman (Without spoilers). I really enjoyed the film. I was pleased when they announced Affleck as Batman (Especially after The Town/Gone Girl et al) and he smashed it as both Batman and Bruce and in my opinion was as good as Michael Keaton. On a negative, I thought the sub plot that was intended to tie the film together was too over bloated and confusing, and also the uniting of Batman and Superman was very weak. It got a bit too 'Spiderman 3' for me towards the end but these were my only major gripes! Jesse Eisenberg is a bit of a Marmite actor, you love him or hate him and I actually think he did good in this role (Even though I think hiss direction was a tad too 'Joker' as opposed to Lex at times). This film was clearly made for fans so as far as Im concerned critics as usual can go do one and I fear that a lot of the negative reviews are from people who in their mind have 'Marvel' as the 'Standard' , which leads me to my next pointÂ….DC are doing their own thing and IMO not trying to set the same tone as Marvel, this film is dark and gritty and personally I loved that and am glad it wasn't fluffy. I would give this a solid 8/10
BTW - Watched with my son (10),dad (61) and I myself am 35....we all enjoyed it
