InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Karlee The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
takiskarabekg Sorry but it has a poor and bad scenario. no logic, no clever, just stupids fights. nice effects and sgi, but only that... look marvel's movie and its refreshed heroes, example guardians of galaxy and deadpool... cool, new fresh ideas, perfect scenarios, clever stories, perfect fights, funny and nowdays teens love them....you, dc, you dissapointed me.... you must found new and fresh ideas.... found some new directors ... forget old ideas, we bored with them... for example,superman is too old fashion and idea, op without reason, refresh him to be again comfortable on teenagers.... batman is one the most popular and favourites characters, just build him... this movie was juast a bas answer to marvel-civil war...dont try to copy them, just find new ideas plz... ps i was big fun of dc superheroes,
e-09873 Highly recommend this movie, especially the ultimate edition. Very gripping storyline and great action scenes, definitely my favourite comic book movie to date
kumarayush-82728 Man of Steel made us all believe that WB was upto some thing good. This film thrashed all our hopes.WB's crazy deal to make DCEU films dark and camouflaged to black and Zack Snyder's fanatic ideas for a broken Batman made this deal a lot worse. Messing with Earth 31 Batman to suit his vision itself was crazy, to be honest that Batman should be left as it is instead of mending it to one's liking. It's a unique story that should not be adopted for mainstream culture without mentioning the fact that events mentioned are from Elseworlds. Ben Affleck still manages to impress and has rightfully earned top spot for best portrayal of Bruce Wayne, though Batman was kinda left aside to focus on the broken Bruce. Another thing that made this film half NAY was Superman itself. Superman sequels need to build more optimism by razing previous bars to keep viewers on their seat's edge, and this film did not give even a hint of that. Henry seemed a bit down on zeal and enthusiasm he'd displayed previously and that doesn't make Superman more likable. Politics around it needed to be more arranged and sequential instead of random clippings thrown on screen. More organizing would've let viewers understand the confusion related to Superman's existence more comprehensible. Lex Luthor and Doomsday were the least interesting. Jesse Eisenberg was a miscast despite his track record of giving spotless performances. Doomsday should've been saved for future films, this one could've been Bizarro or someone equally strong. Lois Lane fell completely apart much to our excitement and Amy is visibly struggling with her character at many points. They need to make sure that Lois gets worthy screen time without forcing her. Other good parts were Gal's Diana making her DCEU debut which was amazing wit that crazy and overwhelmingly good OST defining her in minutes. Jeremy Iroms and his angelic voice made him another good Alfred and rest of the crew was good. Overall one may, may not like this film depending upon personal preferences of genres. Watch it yourself before judging by its cover.
tomr-28618 This was probably one of my most anticipated movies so far and leaving the cinema back when I first saw it I couldn't really formulate my opinion on it properly.This review will be about the Ultimate Edition of the film...Let's start with the negatives and get them out of the way first. Lex Luthor was a very odd character and felt very out of place due to how he was written and performed.Doomsday was atrocious to say the least, the creation of doomsday was clever using general zods body but he felt crammed in and messed up the tone, as well as looking pretty bad.Wonder Woman, again was crammed in.The Justice league set up was bad and rushed.The is messy due to the action being spaced out until the end where it just goes overboard. The editing itself also is jolting mainly in the first act.The Batman and Superman conflict was way too quickly resolved and the entire movie should have been built mostly around this with world building for the future DC movies being less and also more subtle. The film just felt too big for it's own good and tried to do too much at once.The only interesting character in the film was Batman, the rest were just okay or bland.Now for the positives... Batman as mentioned was interesting to watch and Ben Affleck gives a great performance. He felt fresh and different whilst still having the classic batman feel. Probably my second favourite on screen Batman after Christian Bale.The acting overall was good to great, with the exception of Jesse Eisenberg (although I do think he usually is a good actor).The Action scenes such as the warehouse scene and the dream scene were great. They were well filmed and we'll choreographed. The warehouse scene was so detailed and intricate giving it a great visceral feel. The dream fight being one shot also made it stand out and was visually impressive.Speaking of visuals, the film looks very good in terms of cinematography and most of the visuals, besides Doomsday and some other small elementsThe choice to progress Man of Steels story in this way by having the end battle from that film tie into batman and Lex Luthor character motivations, as well was as the overall story concerning Superman's place on Earth was clever and interesting. Most of the music for this film was very good although not as memorable as the Dark Knight trilogies soundtrack for example. The worst piece on this soundtrack would have to be Lex Luthors theme which does fit the tone of his character but as mentioned he feels out of place and therefore this piece does and it feels a bit silly in comparison to the rest of the music such as Batman's theme.Overall the positives do outway the negatives but it is still a conflicting film to watch as there is so much that could have been done better such as tightening the script to focus more on Batman and Superman's conflict and forget about the Doomsday and Lex Luthor stuff. Also having a Batman vs Superman movie might have worked more at the end of the DC cinematic universe as there would be no need for the world building at that point. Still the film is somewhat enjoyable and I do recommend the Ultimate Edition as the plot is more cohesive but it does still feel to busy and messy a lot of the time.
