Awesome moview. Best Action sequence.
**Slow in the first half**

One would think that the ultimate showdown between two of the most iconic super-heroes would make for some downright compelling action-oriented exploits against a landscape of angst and destruction. Plus, it certainly did not hurt that exhilarating filmmaker Zack Snyder (‘300’) was at the helm in bringing together the colorfully and concocted confrontation between The Caped Crusader and The Man of Steel. Also, it should have been an effortless ta… read the rest.

A bit slow but overall good. There are many sub plots in the movie that could've been made into independent movies of their own.

> Know your enemy's weakness before challenging to a fight!
It is known that critics have no brain. It is the best Superman film as Henry Cavill in the red and blue suit. Yep, I know it is always DC versus Marvel, so it is then DC's reply to the 'Avengers'. I don't care their rivalries, as a film fanatic, I enjoy good films and I found it was so good. But I was a bit worried after the Superman was shown in a dark shade in the trailer, especial…

I still have faith in the DCU but this movie had problems. Watch my full review here.

As I write this review I have just had a thoroughly disappointing movie experience and it so just happens that I have some strong feelings about the source material for this movie so be prepared for a bit of ranting and a few more “adult” words than usual.
I have to say that I bought this movie only because I felt I wanted it in my collection just for it to be complete. I was really expecting to be, shall we say, not impressed. A movie about B…

Very short synopsis : Batman has been hit hard by the events of Man of Steel : a "god" descends on earth, is confronted by another god, and they fight, killing thousands of humans. He learns about a rock coming from his birth planet that can weaken or kill him. It's the property of Lex Luthor, who could target Superman too, but with evil purpose.
So I won't go deeper in the story. This movie, unlike most other superhero movie, is targeting adu…

I don't understand the hate people had with this film. I thought it was brilliant.
Sure, I had my doubts of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, but halfway through the end those doubts were put to rest.
And Ben Affleck was amazing as the latest incarnation of Batman. It was a long time since the actor did a superhero movie (Daredevil).
My only critique was Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal as Lex Luthor - really cringing for me. Didn't do justice for the cha…

**Zack Snyder creates an entire DC universe in one film filled with gritty new takes on familiar characters and brutal action.**
I know this is a polarizing thing to say, but I loved this movie! I think Zack Snyder crushed it with the incredible production design, off-the-charts casting, and gritty take on a lost and weary Batman. The casting for this movie is a master stroke of brilliance. Ben Affleck’s Batman is jaded and bitter, taking his …

**Watch the Ultimate Edition!**
The first of several DC movies to suffer from WB forcing a mediocre cut of a great film. Before the Snyder Cut there was the Ultimate Edition, Snyder's vision is better presented here in a longer, darker, and more sensible cut of this film.

I actually thought that Ben Affleck did a decent job in the role. He did that Michael Keaton thing where he understood the link between Batman and Bruce Wayne and was able to pull off a good Bruce, and that is really where Batman is, figuring out which one is the mask and playing both accordingly.
However, it starts... abruptly. It starts with the assumption that you have seen the Superman movies, and for viewers that hadn't it comes across as…

One of the best superhero movies I've seen in quite sometime now. Action packed, along with good actors and actresses. Just an overall great movie!

If you want to see Batman the way he SHOULD be portrayed on screen then this is the movie for you. It's great to see a 'comic' adaptation tackling darker emotions and greyer morals in its heroes. Batman is a bulked-up savage brute, which I applaud, and Superman is prepared to murder to save his mother. This is the only DC movie worth umpteen rewatches.
