A breath of fresh air ...

Rating: 9/10 (28 March 2016)

First of all, I don't know what the hell is wrong with the so called professional critics. They praise Deadpool (a movie I thoroughly enjoyed)but dislike BvS because "it is not funny", it's too violent and dark. The movie easily outclasses MoS, both in action, special effects and overall story, and I say this from the point of view of someone who really enjoys superhero movies. I think I had enough of the Marvel formula, with very little violence despite the almighty heroes, no blood (we know they are meant for a younger audience), no real threat to the heroes (Ultron and pretty much every other villain), unidimensional characters and last but not least, the lack of seriousness (except for The Winter Soldier, best MCU film in my opinion), always filled with childish and stupid humor, and I seriously hope they will change the tone of the films when Infinity War arrives (and Thor Ragnarok, it's the damn Nordic apocalypse, come on). So overall the dark tone of the film is fitting, the battles are amazing, visual effects top notch, and some clever ideas to give us a glimpse for what is to come.
