It has it all plus more

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2016)

Going into this movie I was aware of the critics dislike of CGI. So I decided to clock it. Mathematically, less than 25 % of the entire 151 minute run time involves CGI type action. This means Batman vs Superman has among the least CGI of all superhero genre movies. The movie has a lot of story build up. In fact three quarters of it is formidable. We get to see the ending to Man of Steel from the perspective of Bruce Wayne. The aftermath, something rarely tackled in a comic book based movie. Usually, the audience is left to pretend there are no casualties when hero's step in. This movie bravely makes us all to aware this not the case. Director Zack Snyder wisely uses CGI sparingly, but builds up to a genuine all out clash of titans toward the end. A new character introduction of Wonder Woman, although just a sprinkling throughout. This movie bought forth her interest and curiosity even though she is used as a small but bright token piece of the overall cast. With her great back story mystery not quite unfolded, one wants to see more of her. I see this movie as highly entertaining to the vast majority. The darkness, grit and real world struggles seen within the mind of icons, supplants the fairy tale simplicity of fantasy to bring us even closer inside the "minds eye" sort of speak.
