So we get to know this universe from Superman’s point of view but we also learn Batman’s one. Superman has arrived recently while others like Batman have been in this world for a while. DC now has the foundation out of the way to build upon for the Justice League.We all know it. In the end I think BvS is an alright film that had parts I really liked while it had others that left me scratching my head. However I do think that I would have preferred the solo films before the ensemble like Marvel has done. I think the film avoided this though it does seem like the "Dawn of Justice" was oversold a bit. The biggest fear I had going into the film was that it would repeat the same mistake Spiderman 3 made where characters felt crammed in. The other problem I feel is that while the action sequences were great Zack Snyder isn't a great storyteller. Its dream sequences and jump cuts to entirely different scenes undermine the overall narrative. The themes presented are intriguing but are hard to digest given the number of them. The beginning to middle are very heavy on dialogue and exposition.

The movie is about two and a half hours long and its pacing issues are compounded by its runtime. As other reviewers have put it it feels like Jesse Eisenberg is playing Jesse Eisenberg. His performance could best be summed up as erratic. Its important to note that this is not the Lex Luthor many may have been expecting as he plays Lex Luthor's son. The exception is Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal as Lex Luthor. Amy Adams reprises her role as Lois Lane which along with Martha Kent adds a human element to the film that balances its darker tones. Jeremy Irons plays a more active Alfred which is nice to see. Gal Gadot delivers a great Wonder Woman and like Affleck I can't wait to see the solo Wonder Woman film. The other casting choices are all relatively solid with one exception. I can't wait to see him in a solo Batman film. I will openly admit I had my concerns about Affleck being cast but I am glad to say that he delivers a fantastic performance. This batman is the darkest that I have seen in a while. It fits the darker interpretation of Affleck's Batman which is absolutely brutal. In this case I don't think the darker tone is the film's biggest problem. This film is a decidedly darker film which I am not entirely opposed to if it fits the character. I feel that your personal enjoyment of the film as with any other is a subject of your personal biases and experiences. I know enough about the characters that I questioned several things in the film and was disappointed to see some of my worst fears were realized. I think it is also important to note that while I may have a slight preference for Marvel's properties I still have a fondness for DC's iconic characters.
Superman is DC's effort to launch the DC cinematic universe and ultimately succeeds despite a few stumbles along the way.
