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.
