Ok this is my first ever review on anything, hence the unprofessional language (but face it you like it informal ;) ), nonetheless fair.

Special Note: :hint: The only reason I'm actually doing this is because there has been a huge controversy among people on the reviewers giving bad reviews, (I mean... 29%? seriously bruh? do you even rate bruh?)... but jokes aside, people require a true and unbiased opinion, though unfortunately that can not be made without a spoiler filled review, might wanna check my boy Xplode's review for that. End not: I plan on shitting on the reviewers :hs:.

Okie, lets begin.

The movie ofcourse starts off with the introduction of Batman's origin, beautifully shot, cinematography on point (for those of you who don't know what cinematography really means, its basically the the science or art of motion-picture photography by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, ie, LIGHTING).

Problem:
What cam off a bit of a surprise is why the whole movie was like it. What I mean is, that the whole movie had back to back various scenes, with no practical connection. :lol BUT I figured out why, the reason was simple, there was too much information. Thats right, they had to cram in so much information in movie that they were forced to make unexpected cuts from scene to scene so that they don't make it long enough, but unfortunately it weakened their story telling by a huge margin.
In my opinion, DC didn't plan as well as Marvel did.
Marvel had first individual movies, properly introduced all characters, made the audience well acquainted with all the heroes and then slowly introduced a unification through Avengers. But in DC (maybe in haste, just to keep up with marvel), they had to introduce Batman, Lex Luther, Wonder Woman, Doomsday, the plot where they had to show Batman stealing kryptonite, Superman vs Batman, All three Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in action against Doomsday, etc etc for peace sake, you could've made/spent atleast two to three movies to get all this information through but instead DC being hasteful, had to cram everything in one movie.
Because of this draw back, they even had to skip Joker's arc in this universe :sniff: , Though suicide squad will somehow fill that hole? Idk how they plan on that though.

Besides that, the acting was fine, Ben Affleck was practically born for this role, I like how he is much darker than the Nolan Trilogy Batman, which is a good thing. The reviewers in Rotten Tomatoes keep rating it bad saying "Not as funny as Marvel" <--- :| :| :| Bruh.. You came to watch a DC film, not a happy go lucky comedy about a bat befriending a guy who can fly and meets up with a chick...
DC films are meant to be hardcore and serious, other than Jesse Eisenberg who played an amazing Lex Luther, you would notice that literally no one else even smiles in the movie, and to be honest thats what you'd have to expect from a DC Movie.

Wonder Woman, ofcourse, not thoroughly introduced even after quite the screen time, GalGadot nonetheless perfect as she is, her acting was really good, accompanied with Hans Zimmer's music, she pretty much slayed.

Another thing about introducing other members of the Justice League was poorly done, WonderWoman, was practically watching teaser trailers for the upcoming justice league... [and on a side note, I really wanted the Flash from the series to appear but DC had other plans :rage: ], and in my opinion, I felt like they tried to copy that scene in Avengers where Tony first sees all the files of the other heroes, and DC could've done a better job with that.

Rest was fine, you'll have a blast if you're already familiar with the story and is a fan of the series.
The ending, Superman's death was an over exaggeration, I wasnt even surpised, Superman technically died thrice in that movie, one where he got his ass handed to him from batman, one from Doomsday and the end where he sacrifices himself, but what I dont get is what how DC thought they'd expect their fans to buy that BS, we all know Justice League willbe a fail without him, yet exaggerate his death to a pointless level :|
Ending scene ofcourse show that hes alive, but no one gonna buy that sh*t in the first place...
Another note on Lois Lane, her acting was great, though she had no prominent role but being a damsel in distress in every situation and when she threw that kryptonite spear away like it was nothing I literally facepalmed :|

The fighting sequences were indeed an amazing highlight, made great use of all characters in that aspect and made Batman look the most badass in my opinion, so kudos to DC for that :yay:


Final Verdit: My range of rating would be -> 7.8 - 9/10

Truly amazing movie, with known and predictable flaws, nonetheless worth watching and completely UNJUSTIFIED MOVIE RATINGS FOR A MOVIE WITH JUSTICE IN IT >_>

This is what happens when you try and catch up with the MCU in one movie
I know, right? The MCU got better as it went on & they've had 8 years. I mean, I'd much rather watch Guardians of the Galaxy than Iron Man 2. Hopefully the DCCU will open it's ears. Sometimes I feel like the movie was a bad dream or I could go to an alternate earth where they didn't mess it up.

Honestly I dont see the bad editing. The scenes skip completely fine and not once did I feel they just cut something out. Maybe I just like that style. Idk. :|

I dont agree that they should have done a Marvel route with the movies tho. I mean, sure itll leave some things way better but retrospective is something I find a lot mkre interesting as now we are finding out who these metahumans are along with the protagonists which brings a sense of excitement contrary to Avengers in which we had like 10 mins pick upsof characters we already knew.

As for Supes death I agree. Killing him off wouldve been great IF they were to pull that scene better and remove the tease at the end. Like this it doesnt hold much value. They can still do JL without him tho. Snyder actually said himaelf that he killed him to have Batman and WW something to work around. Ao that they would be independant of this godlike figure.

As for Flash, he appeared tho. :p Remember that nightmare with the computer. That screamibg guy was flash. Theres a god reason for his absence and if u like flash glory ull like it. ;)

You should read between the lines a bit... he didnt stop because of the name. He realised his humanity. Hes not this demon from another world... just a guy with parents trying to do the right thing.

Were talking about a man who has been haunted his whole life. A role model for what a tragedy can do to you. Killing Superman would make him a murderer of innocents. Taking away a son from his mother. Letting his mother die right after that.

In short he realized he was wrong about him, something he doubted throughout the film. Besides he realised Lex was pulling them around so he didnt want to play his game.
