Well......the wait is over.........let's talk about this...............thing!!



Oh boy were do I start.......Since I was a little kid watching "Super Friends" I imagine how awesome would be see Batman and Superman together in a live action movie, see the Justice League finally done in the big screen, I been waiting for THAT MOVIE longer than even Avengers......and we finally have a movie with Superman and Batman here...........well, this was not what I have in mind for the WORLD FINEST first meeting U.U.

Guys, I been worry since trailer ONE.....hell I been worry since the CASTING of this film was announced, I really, really, REALLYYY wanted this movie to be as good as possible could, I'm the one who still today thinks that Man of Steel was a really good film.....but sadly I can say the same about this one.

There are some really GOOD STUFFS about this film, some even surprisingly good, but overall, I feel more conflicted, more sad and down and WORRY about what the hell DC and Warner Bros are doing with their super heroes, and what the hell Zack Snyder was thinking. I will try my best to breakdown this avoiding give too many spoilers, so let's start with the positives first:

THE GOOD:

-The Fight sequences / Costumes Designs / Special Effects and Visuals: If there is something no one can deny is that Snyder knows how to make a film looks good, and this one is not exception, the effects were excellent, the costume production was the BEST I have seen from a DC / Warner production, I love the looks of Batman and Wonder Woman in this film, Superman looks impressive and the vehicles looks really nice, as always visually Snyder is a master, the cinematography is excellent, so nothing to complain in that area.

-Jeremy Irons as Alfred: I said right now, I think Jeremy Irons is my new favorite live action Alfred, he was phenomenal in the role, excellent portrait of the father figure of Bruce Wayne, Mr. Irons as usual excel himself, I can't wait to see more of him in this universe. 

-Henry Cavill as Clark Kent / Superman: A lot and I MEAN A LOT of critics are praising Ben Affleck and saying that Henry was just....OKAY, I said to that, FUCK THEM, Henry was very good as Superman here, still not that much focus in Clark Kent sadly, but as Superman Henry did a fantastic job, sadly all the bad and DARK that people complain about this portrait of Superman is not Henry's fault, is SNYDER AND GOYER FAULTS, they write Superman wrong, but I can see Henry under a better director he can shine as Superman, sadly because the writing that's not the case here, still I think he did the best he could with the little that they give him,my favorite Superman in live action is Christopher Reeve but Henry keep wearing that S with a lot of pride and integrity and for that Mr. Cavill I salute you

-Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne / Batman: Before I said my praise to his performance I gonna say this, there is 2 elements of this roles I didn't like (I will detailed that in the bad), but overall........man did Ben have come a long way since his days as Daredevil, Ben Affleck shut his critics, he indeed nailed this version of Batman, he was SCARY, he was, Badass, he was BRUTAL, charming, interesting and very......well BRUTAL, I have so many smiles with some Batman Moments in this film, this in my opinion is the BEST LOOKING BATMAN we have got so far in the big screen, who would believe 3 years ago that Ben fucking Affleck will be THE BATMAN, still too early to compare him with my favorite live action Batman (Christian Bale), but overall, this Batman was BRUTAL .......sadly he gives me some of the WTFFFF moments of the film as well??? sooooo I kinda conflicted with him in some parts, I gonna detail that more in the Bad, but one thing is for sure......WARNER, YES, BATMAN SOLO FILM PLEASE.

But MY ABSOLUTELY SHOCK was who was my favorite thing.....in this whole movie:

-GAL GADOT AS DIANA PRINCE / WONDER WOMAN:..........I was WRONG, I'm so happy to say that, I WAS WRONG, I hated this casting, and now I proudly can say these words.......Mrs. Gadot, I APOLOGIZE, you shut my mouth and prove me wrong, I can't fucking wait to see her SOLO MOVIE, because Wonder Woman, was fucking AWESOME in this film, SADLY her role is very short, not as short we expect, but still short.......I still can't believe this, I was thinking that Batman was gonna be the thing I liked the most and for the most part it was, but the limited screen time of Gal was so cool that I ended enjoying her more....oh and BTW, I need the THEME of WW of this movie, that theme was seriously awesome and kickass as well.

-The Music: UPDATE *Man how I forget to mention the music*....Hans Zimmer can't do wrong with a soundtrack and this one was amazing, some returning themes like the Man of Steel theme are presents but so many new ones that are really good, my absolute favorite is indeed Wonder Woman theme so fucking cool.



And.........that's it.................................................that was all that I really like about this movie.....oh boy were do I even start with this


THE BAD:

-The Story: Short version........this is an absolute MESS, this movie is just a glorified comercial for the upcoming Justice League and Wonder Woman movie, just as all us fear they just try to cram so much stuff to justify and solidified this as an official cinematic Universe, just for them compete against Marvel, the script is all over the place and the worst is......this could actually work, there are some potential here, but is just that....POTENTIAL.

-THE VERSUS ASPECT: I SAID, I CALL IT, they FUCK IT UP!!.....WHY This aspect fail?.....because in the 2 hours this movie run, they never give us any good justification of WHY BATMAN NEEEEDDDSS to fight Superman.....even worse, try to KILL HIM!! (oh yeah you heard me right.....or is you READ ME RIGHT?), the excuse for Batman wanted to fight superman is kinda flesh out the first minutes of the film, but the way they handle this make looks Batman almost as a damn moron, when they could easily solve this by.......you know.......TALK? when it actually happen I was like......WHY?? I really think they should have just try to adapt The Dark Knight Returns, instead of using that just as inspiration, in that comic makes sense, here, they try.....but fail miserable T.T

-Jesse Eisenberg: I don't even want to call Jesse LEX, because he wasn't playing that character AT ALL, this was more like The Jim Carrey's Riddle meet Johnny Deep's Willy Wonka and have child together, that's the only way I have to describe this.....bizarro abomination. There are some scenes of Jesse that I actually really like, but just a few, overall I seriously think this was a really bad casting choice for this iconic character.

-The very painfully FORCE tied ups with future JL: There is not too much things to say, like I said this whole film is just a long cut trailer for JLA, Amazing Spiderman 2 is SUBTLE about their set ups for their  Sinister Six in comparison. If you like these as just Fan service, then I guess is fine, but for me, these were handle very horrible and really lazy.

-Batman.....the Killer? and the Moron?: Do you guys remember when  I write my opinions of the past trailers, about that if they don't make a good reason for Batman fight Superman, they both would look stupid.......well they didn't find a good reason in this film,  to make things worse, I think Snyder have a thing about make super heroes kill in cold blood people, because Batman in this film.......yep he kill people. Not get me wrong Batman in the comics, movies and other media have killed, but at the level they choose here, I never have seen Batman this freaking insane, I was with my WTF face almost all the scenes he was fighting with the Batmovil or the Bat wing. 

-More and More destruction: Well what can I say....it looks they didn't learn any lessons from MOS, because this movie have a ton of destruction in it as well, although at least this time around, Superman tries to take out the city the dangerous foe that cause the destruction as well as Batman, but still.....damn too much destruction.

-The Visions or Nightmares: If these sequences intended to help you understand more the characters....I'm afraid they fail big time, I was saying again WTF in most of these sequences.

-DOOMSDAY....CREATION AND USE: *almost forgot this sorry * Yep, they did exactly what I predict, they WASTED Doomsday story in just one movie, his creation in the film is the most ridicule thing I have ever seen in a film, a friend of mine describe it better "KRIPTONIAN VOODOO"....not gonna spoil for you guys but once you see how this version of Lex create Doomsday that is just another WTF?? moment for me in the film. I gonna give them ONE POINT.....Doomsday does something in the film that I really wasn't expecting, it took balls, but that's it, anything else is just what we predict, Dumb monster and reason why WW, Batman and Supes team up, nothing else, nothing more.


Folks, I can't sugar coat this, DC / Warner need it to make this film as better as they could.....there is some potential here, but sadly they wasted it, Zack Snyder......you had failed this franchise, just don't make the Justice League film, let other talent directed that.

But even with all this..........I still recommended to go and see the film for yourselves, even with all the bad, I still think under all this mess.....there was an actual good film just desperate trying to get out, so go to the theaters by your own judgement, and let me you guys and girls know what do you think about this film.

Suicide Squad........you are officially our only hope left.

Ratting: 5 out of 10
