That being said: I really enjoyed Batman V Superman. The casting was better than I expected, with Eisenberg's Luthor coming across as a much darker, more socially awkward version of Hackman's portrayal (not the first time movies have done this. Compare Nicholson's Joker to Romero's) and Affleck bringing a raw intensity to the role of Batman. Yes, <Spoiler Alert>,
Batman does kill a few people in this, but honestly he isn't any more brutal than Keaton, whose Batman shot and/or blew up several henchmen as well as burning one with the Batmobile's jet engine. Cavill, Adams, Gadot, Fishburne, Irons, and Lane were also fantastic.
Anyway, maybe it isn't a popular point of view on this flick, but it's mine. Go judge it for yourself (hell, if you really aren't sure but still want to see it, Cinemark does $5 movies on Tuesdays, so that's always an option. Also, that's not a paid endorsement or anything, I just really like Cinemark). As for me, I feel like I got my money's worth out of it :)
Till Next Time, Space Monkeys!
