Wow, I loved it on first viewing and will see it again before the weekend is over hopefully
Firstly, I think the reviews are way too harsh and I feel like people (mostly casuals) are going to go into this expecting a Marvel-type film (Fight after fight broken up by 3 minutes of talking and a bunch of comedic moments) and if they do, they will leave dissapointed. This is NOT that kind of film.
The things I did not like:
1)Lois fukking Lane is waaaaay too prominent in this film, both in terms of plot and screen time
. Why does such a useless character get so much attention? I hope she stays the fukk out of the solo Batman film
2) Lex Luther knew waaaay tooo fukking much without anything being explained
Dude knew Kryptonians were vulnerable to kryptonite before he got the knowledge from the ships archive
Dude knew who Superman was
Dude knew who Batman was
Dude was out there pulling strings like a fukking puppet-master all film
Only thing I liked about him was how he set up that explosion with the wheelchair
, had Supes like
when that happened
3) Luther's assistant was fine as fukk to me
Why did she need to die so early?
The things I loved:
1) The fukking Batman/Bruce Wayne
Dude is fukking RUTHLESS as fukk
Straight up breaking limbs/branding people/stabbing/catching bodies and not giving a fukk
I know his use of guns and killing may put a lot of people off and Snyder definitely took a lot of liberties with his interpretation of Batman and I can respect that but I think I like it mainly because I have always struggled to believe how Batman can be so feared by criminals when everybody knows he doesn't kill......but in this, dude was the stuff nightmares are made of.
I hope he doesn't change and if he is this bad, imagine what the Joker will be like
2) The fight between Batman and Superman
I admit, this might be because I am a bit of a Batman stan
but was nice to see him making good use of that prep time ( that training/prep montage was intense
).
When he started putting the beats on Superman
Anybody else see the quick
moment from batman when the first Kryptonite bomb wore off though ?
Lasted about a second but Bats definitely looked a bit scared there
3) Wonder Woman
The chemistry between her and Bruce has so much potential
She killed it in that Doomsday fight too. She really made that scene for me
Questions I have:
Okay, it's obvious Superman won't stay dead and will come back but how will they explain Clark Kent coming back? How was it done in the Comics?
Was Lex talking about Darkseid at the end?
Do you think they'll expand on that first Flash cameo where he warns Batman about Superman?
When are we supposed to get that solo Batman film? I'm already tweaking for more
