I am drawn back to when this movie was first announced and how I despised the notion of a Batman V Superman film. Definitely a step-up from Man of Steel. First of all, I was a bit skeptical about this movie, and thought the runtime (about 2 and a half hours) was way too long (and I wasn't completely wrong though). Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) share the screen and the questions in everyone’s mind will the actors exceed your expectations?

I think Affleck will probably be fine as long as he doesn't talk like he has throat cancer or try too hard to be realistic.

Batman V Superman is a fresh of breath air in the live action comic book genre. No words to express how important this film for the future not only of superheroes in the movies, but to influence a generation. This marks the entry of the greatest female hero, the Wonder Woman in grand style. This should be very interesting since I don't believe Wonder Woman has been on the big screen in live action before. You will have to have a deeper understanding on the philosophical questions of humanity, definitely a masterpiece. The director Zack Snyder teaches how to make an adaptation of comics.

Pay No Attention to the trolls who will be posting here within the next few weeks telling you how bad the film was; those people need to get a life. If you are the type of person who enjoys super hero movies, (or any high-budget Action Blockbuster) you will certainly enjoy this film. If you are already a fan, you won’t be disappointed; even with high expectations. The writing of the movie is wonderful and we see that Chris Terrio is a guy with a great intellectual baggage, even when writing a super hero movie. Each character seems to give his point of view about the world with their dialogues about a super powered alien. I don't know how the professional critics will react, because they have embraced the way of Marvel-Disney regarding super hero movies.

Superman shows little remorse for the deaths of every human in this film. Batman straight up murders people, mostly with vehicular machine guns. Lex doesn't really have a clear motivation on why he does the things he does. Wonder Woman just fights and looks pretty, don't listen to any review that gives this film anything below a 7/10. Some would claim that “This movie is more over-processed” as for me the producers should remember this “Don't pack the movie full of huge action scenes only to leave the story back at the studio...please!” I actually hope they succeed with this attempt...

Then, after this movie, the next one is going to be a long awaited Justice League movie. Featuring a least Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Flash. No crucial part of the film was revealed before the screenings or the movie's release. The visuals look amazing (except for one particular scene, where the CGI looked like trash). Overall, definitely a 10/10 film.
