+1Spoiler free impressions:
Just got back from the theater. Saw it with a couple friends and they said it was great. I felt the same way. There were definitely things I didn't like but I really enjoyed the film. You could tell the audience generally liked it too. I don't see how this movie could not appeal to general audiences. There is clear DC fan service, but it's not as thick as some early critics made me think it would be.
- I wasn't the biggest fan of Man of Steel.
- I felt this film was leagues better.
- Jesse Eisenberg was still cringeworthy, but didn't affect the quality of the film for me.
- The story moves from point-to-point a little fast, but not as bad as Watchmen. I'm really excited to see an extended cut on Blu-ray. I feel like the story will flow better. (I understand that they needed to have the film be a certain time. General audiences aren't going to sit through really long movies, so you put out the super extendo cut for the home release like Lord of the Rings.)
- The movie IS doing a lot. There are quick cameos that serve a purpose for the future, which they try to make relevant to the current story and blend them in as naturally as possible, but I can definitely see the complaint about this. It wasn't an issue for me though.
- Some of the dream sequences (or maybe all of them, I can't remember) just come out of nowhere. They could of edited them waaaay better. There's one in particular that is a huge WTF moment that had me doing the jagsfan.gif. It isn't until it's done until you find out it was in the characters head, but it transitions to another WTF moment right after.
- The story for TDK flowed a lot better, but this movie has way more moving parts. I understand people are going to compare it to the Nolan films, because that's the gold standard, but BVS is great in different ways.
- Superman (who's never been a character I've cared for) was kind of cool. He has his moments and I actually cared about the things he cared about and for his well being in this film. I didn't think they could do that.
- This may be the most awesome portrayal of Batman on film. He makes great use of his gadgets and mind in battle. He literally throws everything but the kitchen sink in his fights and it's some of the most satisfying action sequences in a comic book action film or action film in general to me.
- I was so wrong about Gal Gadot as WW. I have to swallow my pride and say that @shogun was right.Admitting that is killing me on the inside. She was ELECTRIC. When she actually fights with the trinity she is a certified BADASS.
- Overall. Really awesome film. Super excited for what's coming down the pipeline. This is definitely a movie I want to see multiple times. Word to @Kal-El-8. It's a great time for fans of superheroes from all publishers.
Saw it in IMAX 3D.
Just amazing.
Luthor was on point crazy.
