Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Actually, i don't know what to say but i have already watch this about 10 times. I'm not really into dark and long-slow movies but i really love this one. The characters, The acting, The cinematic and Music is amazing, gorgeous and extremly excellent.

If you are lazy to read the entire review, just read this: 31 minutes of footage makes a HUGE difference in the film/storyline.

To be honest, I was not so impressed when I saw the first cut (2h32m) as I got the impression that the story was rushed and confused... but then I watched the extended version and it all made sense, the added details matter a lot!

If you like me thought that this filme was not good, I say this to you: give it a try, but watch the extended one. If possible, watch it in IMAX and I'm sure your experience will be different!

One more thing... if you recently watched the Snyder Cut, BvS will make even more sense now - trust me.

Rating 8/10 for the extended version (6/10 for the 2h32m cut).

The extended cut is definitely the way to watch this movie. That being said, I'm going to explain to everyone the highly criticized "Martha" scene.

The reason Batman ultimately stopped short of killing Superman had nothing to do with both mothers having the same name. While Clark saying that name caught him off guard, once Lois explained it's his mother's name, Bruce realized in that moment that Superman was as human as anyone else. Remember, right before"Martha", Batman said he probably isn't even human. But by having a mother, Bruce realized Clark was as human as anyone else, since all humans have a mother. That's what that scene is all about.

No idea why this page still has such bad reviews, even after we have the extended cut. The theatrical cut really doesn't do it justice. Absolutely loved the movie, beautiful cinema!

Surprisingly, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition manages to fix a lot of the problems with the original version with only half an hour of extra content. It's able to recontextualize the central conflict of the title with added depth and fixes a lot of the plot holes.

It also comes to a more satisfying conclusion due to great callbacks to previously unseen characters and is allowed to be more mature by being able to show more of the violence rather than hide from it or edit it out. Additionally, seeing more of Henry Cavill's Superman saving people is always welcome.

Not all of the problems are fixed as the unnecessarily destructive third act is obviously still present as is the forced franchise set-up that still feels very clunky. Ben Affleck's portrayal of Batman is still excellent but the increased violence makes him killing even more distracting.
