I really hated Man of Steel, it’s probably the worst movie IMO I have seen in a theatre and one of the worst movies I’ve seen. But still, Batman and Superman are my two favorite comic book characters and pretty much the only ones I like, so there was no doubt I was going to see this movie.
So, hating MoS and seeing the movie was rated one star by Metro, my expectations were probably the lowest ever when going to see a film. And because of that, I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t expecting a good representation of Superman or Batman, but Cavill is a pretty good Superman in this and Affleck is one of the best, if not the best movie version of Batman. Wonderwoman and Alfred were good too. Lex… not so much but there were a few okay moments. To me, there hasn’t been a good Lex on the screen at all yet, so this isn’t anything new. Yeah, there were stupid moments and all that but I felt entertained. The fight scene was well made and I really got a kick out of it. The movie just was 30min too long, Doomsday shouldn’t have been there at all and Superman’s death was pointless and didn’t have any impact.
All in all, way better than I thought as superhero entertainment, I’ll most likely pick this up from a bargain bin unlike MoS, but as a film or art or whatever, not really, but I think that was expected.
