If I had anything negative to say it would be this: it's supposed to be fairly early in the whole Superman story, yet he already
Also Superman could have smiled more ;)
But that's about it! I loved it. It felt like Batman & Superman for BIG kids
Terminator Genisys did.
I don't know how much a second viewing will really help me, either. I could get used to Batman being characterized the way he is, I guess, but there's still so many glaring story problems with this movie on every level that even if he acted more like even Bale's Batman I'd still have such a hard time enjoying it. So many things just don't add up, and I'd have to be a fool not to see the glaring issues in logic and characterization.
Some have said this film is getting overly criticized, but folks, this is what we do. We love these characters, so in effect, we are more critical than anyone. It's why the Craig Bond films of recent memory were so heavily analyzed; we look deep into what we love most, especially if we dislike a film because it festers in our brains and the feeling of disappointment we get from something we heavily anticipated can register to us like a knife to the heart. It's just the way it is.
One thing that I am seeing pop up consistently, though, is this: Ben is amazing. While I don't like the Batman he was given, I agree that he really shined and made all his dissenters look like fools here. I've heard many people who disliked this film say things along the lines of, "The one thing I didn't think I'd like about this film going in (Ben) was the only thing I ended up liking as I left," or "I miss the days when Affleck's casting was the only thing I was worried about with this film." He got himself a victory here, for the most part. Now they just need to give him more interesting things to do.
Going forward, more focus needs to be spent on proper characterization in these films, and less on packing everything into each movie to tease future efforts. So much of this movie is prepping for JL and beyond that it loses an identity of its own. Another big issue is how many storylines from the comics DC and Warner are packing in that would have carried great weight if developed later on, the
I love this film, though this amusing.
:)) Yeah, pretty funny.
But it's still the finest superhero movie ever made. \m/
@Birdleson, great review, sir! Truly well explained and well-written (if I can even judge that) and in a way kind of heart-warming too. ;-) I'm glad someone like yourself doesn't just beat up the mentally challenged kid in school but instead aims for a rational and balanced appreciation of the film. :-)

@chrisisall I forgot about the goon being burnt alive. Lol
:))
;))
Clumsy of me. What I meant was that there are obvious flaws in the film. Those I referred to as mentally challenged kids in school it's too easy to pick on. :)
@chrisisall Think I am due a rewatch of Burtons Batman, even Returns has it plus points. Batmans expression when he turns to see the penguins with rockets on there backs is fantastic. BvS is getting stick, though by nature comic book film are all crazy.
=))
I may be wrong, but I think there is a deleted scene(s) where he does just this. It'll likely be part of the Ultimate Edition Blu-ray.
As weird as it is, I love the look he gives when he sees the penguins with the rockets on their backs. You can just read the words, "Yep, this is my life," all over his face there.
He's Batman. ;)

BvS Movie fight special, just watching whilst at work. Fun watch some good discussion on the movie.
Indeed, the first half of the film should been to flesh out the characters and build up the their motivations. Hell, the film should have simply been Batman v Superman. The whole Dawn of Justice portion could have been saved for another time or another film. There was just too much going on. There were too many story lines and comic book adaptations stuffed into one film which caused other really important aspects to fall by the wayside.
The most important things left by the wayside were Superman's curl, bright coloured costume & sense of humour & hope.
Thanks for not getting the character, Zack. 8-|
