Batman V Superman gave us the fight we were anticipating and also introduced the audience to some new characters. The pacing of this movie was pretty slow going early on with an artsy dream sequence explaining Batman's(Ben Affleck) origin. Much of Batman's view of the world and Superman(Henry Cavill) being in it is fueled heavily on his delusional dreams(of which he has plenty). I had a hard time figuring out if Bruce's butler/assistant in the Bat-Cave, Alfred(Jeremy Irons) is the voice of reason or someone feeding into Bruce Wayne's fears. Bruce Wayne is Batman for you non-superhero loving folks.
The world is starting to fear Superman and he's being framed for violence across the world. The framing of the Man of Steel seemed a bit of a stretch but you got to do something to get this movie going. With all this fear, Lex Luthor(Jesse Eisenberg) is on the hunt for Kryptonite after discovering how it affects the other Krytponian, the now deceased Zod.
I won't go to much further into the plot points of this film but I will give some of the higher and lower points of the film.
- The fight between Superman and Batman went as expected.
- Amy Adams as Lois Lane was great.
- Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was much better than expected.
- I wanted more of Wonder Woman(Gal Gadot).
- The funeral scene was Peter Jackson long! I could have went to Mordor and back by the time that ended.
Overall I liked the movie. It was worth watching. I didn't love the movie however and I am in no rush to see it again. If you need a comic book movie fix, go check it out. If you wait for blu-ray, I wouldn't blame you there.
