Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

Pros:
1. Ben Affleck rocks the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.
2. The beginning up until a certain point is actually pretty awesome.
3. The acting is great from all which wasn't of concern.
4. Wonder Woman was perfect.
5. Jesse Eisenberg can act.
6. Batman fights like a badass.
7. Joker and Robin references.
8. For an action movie it's decent.
9. It had good moments sure.
10. It felt more like Batman's movie.

Cons:
1. Batman didn't act like Batman with his whole killing people.
2. Jesse Eisenberg played a very Jokerish Lex Luthor so I'm not sure who he was supposed to be.
3. The stupid introductions of a few of the other Justice League.
4. That doesn't look like The Flash at all!
5. David Mazouz from Gotham wasn't young Bruce.
6. Way too many dream sequences that were also edited poorly.
7. Doomsday sucked and was way too big. He actually felt like Abomination from The Hulk.
8. Superman seemed much too stocky.
9. Characters made a hell of a lot of stupid decisions.
10. Speaking of I hated them showing shots of Superman just floating there like when families are on rooftops during a flood!
10. Also how did they just randomly know certain things.
11. It's a huge step down from Man Of Steel which I really enjoyed.
12. David S. Goyer needs to stop being given writing rights sadly.
13. The ending was pretty awful.
14. I saw no need in the 3D.
15. There was some dreadful jokes here too.

I wasn't expecting much, but I was hoping to be surprised. I love Man of Steel. So therefore I had thought I would enjoy this one too. Sadly it didn't hit the mark. There was way too much going on and even though it clocks in close to three hours it still manages not to show enough either. It's entertaining sure. The acting is excellent. The fight scenes are pretty fun. The characters weren't written right though. They are trying way too hard to put so much together. There is a ton of bogus thrown in. I think only movie fans that don't follow comics or don't mind all the crazy stuff they make these characters do (that they usually would never do) would like this. As for serious comic fans and the like will not enjoy what they do here. Keep Ben Affleck as Batman. Batman doesn't kill! Lose Joker Lex Luthor. Don't have Doomsday be that lame. Be more cohesive with the plot. Stop with all the dream sequences. Stop all the unnecessary idol imagery. Just stop trying to compete with Marvel. They are already ahead. Patience is greatness. Ugh it's aggravating for a fan who knows how the comics are. Hopefully Suicide Squad will be good.
