Batman Vs Superman (2016) Review (there will be spoilers, be warned)

First I would like to warn you, shit load of spoilers here. If you wanna watch it for your self!
Alright, last night I saw Batman v Superman, and I take what I recently said about Ben Affleck.... well most of it.
He did pull his weight in the movie and he a did a fairly good job being Batman, not as good as Bale but way better than all those before him. Though, he need to work a bit more with his "Bat-face" as no matter how terrible the situation is Batman just don't flinch and Ben did, twice! Batman is known to be brooding and fearless, he can't get surprised (unlike "I thought she is with you" scene) or scared (twice, once against Clark and second against Doomsday). Yet again, Ben did a good job, well better than Clooney and Keaton.
I can tell the author(s) had mixed lots of comic arcs into this movie, like the "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" and "Superman: The Death of Superman" but seriously that was way too much!
Though the "Martha Scene" was unexpected ... it showed Batman's only weakness, his family! Now that was, in my opinion, the best scene in the whole movie, Ben owned it then.
And then the director "Zack Snyder", alright, his previous movies, which in most was a supernatural in nature, were quit alright. Some of them were actually good. However, there are many scenes in BvS that gave me the vibe "Am I in a horror movie?" and whenever that hit me, I crack out laughing. I laughed alot in the movie to the extent my own brother gave me a "WTF" dead-stare.
Seriously Zack, what were you thinking trying to insert Jump Scares into a Super Hero movie?!
Also, I would like to add that one of Zack's great works was not in the golden screen, it was that DC Univerce Online trailer which was one helleva clip and I cannot ignore the forced inclusion of the Kryptonian spear that Lex had in the movie!
And Lex Luthor, oh don't let me start talking about Lex! No, I am not talking about Jesse Eisenberg, he did well too, but the character, Lex, the way it was written, felt more like "The Joker in a Business Suit"! Seriously! Yes, Lex can be cynical but always serious, he doesn't make jokes and threats left and right! That's the Joker's job! Though I complement Jesse Eisenberg on his acting especially the inferiority complex that Lex feels towards all meta humans (putting the nuttiness aside).
Oh, one more big disappointment! Batman actually used leathal weapons! Hand Guns, Knives, Spear, Machine Gun, Rockets, Gateling Guns, Grenade Launchers, etc. He went Bananas against his no his lethal force and no killing (unless necessary) moral code and there was plenty dead alright! And oh, that bat-branding shit! Since when Batman was a cruel douchebag! This Batman was the worst.
That Flash cameo, oh that Flash cameo! You thought I was done ranting, right? well not yet! First the suit, since when did the Flash become Ironman?! A metal helmet that has its faceplate flipp backwards?! What?
I am a super Fan of the Flash, and he is my all time favorite among all of the DC characters. However, that so called "COME AND F***ING FIND US" bullshit (that lasted for like few seconds) but man my expectation were crushed! And whats up with him stuck in that "Crack" of time and space extending his arm to Bruce screaming, he looked f***ing lame let alone sounded like a bitch!
Gal Gadot and Wonder Woman, in the fight scene all I was able to see is her grunting, then jumping, then ground pound! Rinse and Repeat! I didn't see much! There were few sword swings, a single shield block, a single use of the lasso of truth (as a mere super powered rope!) and that's it! And whats with the starting move!!! That clanking of her gauntlets when she smashed them together! I dont think I have seen that move done by Wonder Woman before and it looked damn lame! The whole fighting scene she seemed like scrawny, short, feminized version of "The Hulk" (not the Avengers Hulk, but the 80s Hulk). The CG fellas nerfed her like crazy.
However, Gal Gadot did better as Diana Prince, even though her screen time was very very very (yes, triple "very") limited and I wish there was more! I cant believe I am saying this, but Gal Gadot might be the only reason for me to see the upcoming "Wonder Woman" movie.
Lastly Henry Cavill as Superman, alright, this time Henry nailed it! The previous movie was F***ed, he was a freaking cry baby! But in here, Cavill did a great job showing the morality of Superman which was true to the comics. He was the best thing in the whole movie!

Final Verdict: Watch it! Looking beyond the points above, the movie was great, though it might have been better.

العيد بلسان المتنبي

عيـد بأية حال عـدت يا عيـد
بـما مضى أم بأمر فيك تـجديد

أما الأحـبة فالبيـداء دونـهـم
فليـت دونك بيدا دونـها بيـد

لولا العلى لم تجب بي ما أجوب بها
وجـناء حرف ولا جرداء قيـدود

وكان أطيب من سيفي مضاجعـة
أشبـاه رونقـه الغيـد الأماليـد

لم يتـرك الدهر من قلبي ولا كبدي
شـيء تتيمـه عيـن ولا جيــد

يا ساقيـي أخـمر في كؤوسكمـا
أم في كؤوسكمـا هـم وتسهيـد

أصخـرة أنـا مالـي لا تحركنـي
هذي الـمدام ولا هذي الأغاريـد

إذا أردت كميـت اللـون صافيـة
وجدتـها وحبيب النفـس مفقـود

ماذا لقيـت من الدنيـا وأعجبـه
أنـي بـما أنا باك منه مـحسـود

أمسيـت أروح مثـر خازنا ويـدا
أنـا الغنـي وأموالـي المواعيــد

إنـي نزلـت بكذابيـن ضيفهـم
عن القـرى وعن الترحال مـحدود

جود الرجال من الأيدي وجودهـم
من اللسـان فلا كانوا ولا الـجود

ما يقبض الموت نفسا من نفوسهـم
إلا وفـي يـده من نتنهـا عـود

من كل رخـو وكاء البطن منفتـق
لا في الرحـال ولا النسوان معـدود

أكلما اغتـال عبد السـوء سيـده
أو خـانه فلـه في مصـر تـمهيد

صار الخصـيُّ إمام الآبقيـن بـها
فالـحر مستعبـد والعبـد معبـود

نامت نواطيـر مصـر عن ثعالبهـا
فقد بشمـن وما تفنـى العناقيـد

العبـد ليس لـحر صالـح بـأخ
لو أنه فـي ثيـاب الـحر مولـود

لا تشتـر العبـد إلا والعصا معـه
أن العبيـد لأنـجاس مناكيــد

ما كنت أحسبنـي أحيا الى زمـن
يسـيء بي فيه كلب وهو مـحمود

ولا توهـمت أن الناس قد فقـدوا
وأن مثل أبـي البيضـاء موجـود

وأن ذا الأسود الـمثقوب مشفـره
تطيعـه ذي العضـاريط الرعاديـد

جوعان يأكل من زادي ويمسكنـي
لكي يقـال عظيم القدر مقصـود

إن امـرء أًمَةً حبلـى تدبـــره
لمستضـام سخيـن العين مفـؤود

ويلمهـا خطـة ويلـم قابلهــا
لمثلهـا خلـق الـمهريـة القـود

وعندهـا لذ طعم الـموت شاربـه
إن الـمنية عنـد الـذل قنديــد

من علـم الأسود المخصيَّ مكرمـة
أقـومه البيـض أم آبائـه الصيـد

أم أذنـه فـي يد النخـاس داميـة
أم قـدره وهو بالفلسيـن مـردود

أولـى اللئـام كويفيـر بـمعذرة
في كل لـؤم وبعض العذر تفنيـد

وذاك أن الفحـول البيض عاجـزة
عن الجميل فكيف الخصية السـود

The Sheep, The Lynx and The Wolf

Umm .... No, this has nothing to do with Biology, Ecology or anything related to National Geographic. Anyways, it has been quite a while since I have written anything on my blog (almost like a year since the last post) and today I decided to put down all of what I have perceived and seen in my group of "acquaintance" (In case you don't know what acquaintance mean, this is a nice article talking about it) and "friends" as I lived away from home.

There are times when I associate certain personality with certain animals, no offence! But regardless of whom the person is, certain aspects of their behavior can be linked to behavior of certain animals. No matter how you think about it, once they are stripped off from their minds and emotions, Human beings will only be left with their animalistic instincts.

And this time, I gunna talk a bit about the social
behaviors, and I have categorized them into 3 Main "animal profiles": The Sheep, The Lynx, and The Wolf.

The Sheep:

The 1st thing that probably going to strike your head is a green field and a huge pack of sheep with a shepherd and maybe a German shepherd dog (or whatever was the dog's name). Regardless of the shepherd and the dog, sheep have always been seen in packs or flocks and never alone, not even for the slightest moments. The people whom I associate with sheep are those the very timid ones and can't spend a single moment alone. They are in need of daily dosage of "people's attention" in any form. If the "sheep" was forced to spend weeks or days on his/her own, they won't last long before having a mental breakdown.

The Lynx:

Most of the sub-species of the Lynx have their members live alone with no association whatsoever with other members of their kind, in most cases (mating is an exception). The Lynx has the tendency to live his/her life in solitary as long as
everything goes their way. People of that category will always tend to be on their own most of the time, they might have acquaintances here and there, but once the "purpose" of those acquaintances had been served, all bonds will be severed. They tend to lose the people around them, since they most of the time have in mind that once they lose "a friend", they can make "two new friends".

The Wolf:

Most of the people mistakenly think that wolves live on their own, and not in a pack. Even though they might seem that way, but wolves never howl alone. There are always a handful of them lurking somewhere when their
pack member patrol the area. They can make it out there on their own, but they always have a pack to return to whenever the need rises, and every pack member will help regardlessly. People in this category may not have as many friends as the "Sheep" but they always have the "Selected Trusties" whom they can rely on in times of need. It is not necessary for them to be around their "Selected Trusties" all the time, but they spend a fair time with each other.

There are some times people who fall in between those categories such as "Mountain Goats" (between "Sheep" and "Wolf") and "Grizzly/Brown Bears" (between "Lynx" and "Wolf") but these are the most frequent among the rest.

In this article, there is no pointing to anyone, as what the tagline of the site says, this is just a blabber I wanted to share.

I think it is time to put this blog into a new look

It has been ages since the last time I have wrote something on this blog. Well, basically, the reason for that was that I could have anything to write about or tend to forget to write something I wanted to post. Anyways, I have thinking and I believe the best thing to keep this alive is to resurrect it with an entirely different purpose (other than tale-telling) that is interesting for me to keep on writing.

And about that purpose ... I have discovered a something new about myself: I am an Anime/Manga Otaku! Well, I am in a way. (For those who do not know the meaning of those terms, click on the term itself to get its description in Wikipedia.) And because of that, I have decided that I will make this blog my Anime/Manga Review journal. I have watched and still watching tons of Anime and have read and still reading volumes of Manga. I have become like an "Anime Enthusiast". LOL

The Theme of this blog gunna be manually edited since I have the knowledge of how to create website.

Expect to hear from me talking about Anime and Manga next week

Until I write again, Sayunara

Man, I should Keep on writing here, but ...

It's been a long time since the last time i have wrote something here in my blog. And on the top of that, most of those who used to read this had always been asking me to keep on writing, but unfortunately, writing hadn't cross my mind for quite sometimes, and whenever it does (just like now) I dunno what to write about. I am not sure what to write right now, so am just typing whatever gets into my head.

Man ..... I am in my final year as an undergraduate student, and the way I c it: it is almost the end of the life that I have always new until now. This is really scare the shit out of me. Since whenever I can remember, I was studying and I was doing good the whole time. From elementary school, to intermediate / junior-high school, to secondary / high school, and now university, I have always been studying, never done something else! And pretty soon, all that will come to an end and I have to change to a totally something else! I am not sure what to do!!! I don't know where to go after I finish my studies! I have no place to go! Seriously this is driving me mad on the top of the madness I already acquired from the university since the beginning of my final year.

I know that this is not really a cheerful post to resurrect my blog, but to think of it, necromancy never looked good, right? ;)

Valentines Day ... you came to the wrong person, yet again!!!

First of all, to all the love birds that are reading my post, Happy Valentine Day.

Valentines Day ... hmm ... to be honest with you all, I really don't like that day, because it never had anything to deal with me ... EVER!!! And only if I had the chance, I would rather to physically disappear of this land or frozen into a cube of ice and return after it just to let that day pass by as if it never happened. I am not sure whether I envy those couples I see in that day for having each other, or pity them because they remember love and celebrate it only in this day instead of treasuring it everyday.
But this year, it was a little bit different. I spend it with friends whom called me to celebrate it with them. I know the theme of Valentines Day does not apply on us, but it was even better.
For those I was with in Sunway Pyramid, Sunway College, and their Houses, Thank you for being here with me, even though I may have been seen in my worst image in these period of the year (the first three months).

Until I find 'HER' ... Valentines Day is Friendship Day ... for me

2009: Hoping for a change

Before I start, lemme tell you something about myself. I am a person who don't like changing or you can say I am afraid of changing or to anything new to my life. I like to stick to what I know the best or to what I have unless there is a necessity to change, just like me coming to a total strange country (Malaysia) for the sake of pursuing my education to the end. In case that I had to change something around me, I force to adopt to it fast so I can move on with my life, that's the way I survive, so far.

But been here in Malaysia since the 14th of March, 2007, and I went back to Yemen only once in July's semester break for less than a month, made me feel real bored and I want some changes, any changes will be interesting.

The last 4 months of 2007 and the first 2 moths of 2008 were the most joyful periods in my life. In that period I started my degree course and I met new friends whom shared laughter and tears with, they are my family in this corner of the world whom I am willing to do anything for them as long as they keep smiling.

After that, life had become ... lemme say .. COLDER .. although Malaysia has a hot weather 24/7 but the routine there is so cold that will make the sun itself to freeze. I feel like that I have lost the warmness that I used to feel around my friends, the light I used to see in their eyes, and the joyful spirits in their souls. Is me or the Malaysian lifestyle has killed our happiness? If it is me, please tell me what's wrong so I can correct it. I want those days to come back, those lively, wonderful days. I would do anything to bring them back.

2008 had been a year that's keep on getting worse day after day, until I got a minor change in my course, I took a short detour. For August 2008 semester, I was with another group of students coz of some issues regarding transferring from one course to another (from Business Information Systems (BIS) to Networking (BITN)). Getting along with new classmates at the middle of the road was kinda hard coz everyone knew each other long time ago and they already had chosen their partners for the course works, but it was an interesting change to know new people and it was filled up with laughter as well. It reminded me of those old days of the beginning of my course.

The end of 2008 was approaching as well as our exams (which I have talked about in another post). Almost all my friends had left Malaysia including my roommate and housemate. Exactly like last year, I was alone, like wolf. Even the new year eve I let it pass me once again sleeping in my bed. Well, I never really cared about those kind of occasions coz they always give this false hope of the world being a better place. Until the world really changes, I won't give a shit, unless some of my precious ones will look for me to join them, otherwise it is pointless celebrating it alone.

The main reason I am writing this is that I really wish for a major change in this year, coz I can't take to have the third year exactly the same as those a head of it. Malaysia is a country that you can explore it in 3 months time, going every where although most of the areas there look alike and you will get bored after that, so how about 3 years?!!!!

Before ending this post, I want to thank all those who were there beside me, whether physically or emotionally, especially those whom I call friends but to me truly they are more than that: They are my ONLY FAMILY is this part of the globe. THANKS AGAIN!!!
