my notes

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2019)

Beastly movie, epic action scenes, and a phenomenal musical score. i had issues with how sloppy the story was in the theatrical version, but after watching the ultimate extended cut, the story is actually really good. studios need to keep their hands off these movies and let artists create art. The visuals and cinematography were outstanding. the battles were great. (5 viewings)

SPOILERS

The opening scene was beautifully shot and very moving with great music. The next scene which was the first action sequence was very creative and clever. It was the final battle from man of steel, but from Bruce Wayne's perspective. I think it was a great way to show how Bruce Wayne first found out about Superman. the batman fight scene when trying to save martha was AMAZING. and the final battle was so EPIC with unbelievably awesome music
I wasn't a fan of the whole Superman is dead thing at the end of the movie when everyone in the theater knew he was gonna be alive, could have done without it. The whole thing with Lois Lane at the end when she wanted to hide the spear, but then wanted to get it back, but then was drowning, but then superman saves her, but then Superman was drowning and she had to save him... useless and should have been taken out of the movie. and the intro to the other justice league members should not have been in this movie. it was moving so well and that just slowed it down with something that was irrelevant to this movie.
I think it was a missed opportunity for a scene that shows the moment Bruce Wayne finds out that Clark Kent is Superman, or when Superman finds out Bruce Wayne is Batman. They went in a different direction, which i guess is ok.
