- Batman V Superman was the first giant step taken to form what became the DCEU. For some it was an epic deathmatch between gods while others found it overstuffed, taxing, and pretentious. Where do I fall on BvS?

It's a real travesty that Ben Affleck never got a chance to make the movie he wanted. He's a great director. I really wanted to see his Batman film. Henry Cavill brought alot've humanity to Superman.
Do you think they will ever do a standalone Affleck Batman movie?
Henry cavill is very underrated as Superman, shame people compare him to Reeves version. We can't even compare it properly because Henry cavill version is a different realistic take on Superman.
@@megamikethemovieman It's still possible...I'd like to see a True DKR movie with Ben Affleck someday *fingers crossed*
@@CyborgSodaCollects Me too. I have lots of Batman and other movie content on my channel too, if u want to stop by my friend. I look forward to having mor future movie conversations with u.
@@megamikethemovieman Thanks! I will.
this movie still has one of the best hand to hand batman combat scene in live action
The warehouse fight scene is the best batman action sequence EVER.
Shit was straight outta Arkham 🔥🔥🔥
I still like this movie, preferably the Ultimate Edition. The Batman warehouse scene fight, the Superman and Batman fight, and the intro of Wonder Woman was my favorite.
BVS warehouse scene *chef's kiss*
That warehouse scene is one of the best Batman action scenes of all time right?
@@megamikethemovieman Oh undoubtedly. The finale fight is definitely a close second to BVS warehouse in my opinion.
Funny I never liked Ben Affleck as an actor, but him being Batman I freaking love.
Same, he was literally perfect for the role tho
He’s a great Batman right?
Besides being too long and way too jam-packed with bullshit, you have to nail the Batman/Superman fight in a movie called Batman v Superman. They did not nail that fight or its conclusion... they blew it. This movie is the dropped ball of all dropped balls. (Good review though! Way better than the movie!)
I'll say, about the whole "Martha" thing, I was pleased that for ONCE, Batman's mother was mentioned over his father. I always feel everything is about Batman's father and his mother is kinda forgotten in the tragedy. I feel the writers thought it would be some great revelation, but as you said, it was very clumsily executed.
I was never a fan of Superman. But Man of Steel and Henry Cavill's portrayal of him made me a huge of Him and Superman.
Same I usually can’t stand Superman I think he is boring as fuck.
I have to agree with you. I was never a big Superman fan, but I love Zack Snyder's take on the character. I feel like the DCEU gave Superman more personal depth than he ever had before.
Couldn't agree more. That Batman warehouse scene was ripped right out of the Arkham games and it really makes me wish we got that Affleck stand-alone Batman movie.
I love this movie & was pleasantly surprised by Affleck's badass Batman(May be the best Batman ever🤷🏾♂️).And I agree with you 100% on this version of Superman.His layers of complexity and his inner battle is so much better & interesting than any version we've ever gotten imo.My only gripe with the movie is the casting of Lex.Could have worked since it's "the son" of Luther if the casting for the role was better and more believable and not so wormy but Jessie was probably about the worst choice for the role...and what was up with the snot scene at the end?!lol
How do you like Man of Steel?
@@megamikethemovieman Personally I think it's the best stand alone Superman movie. Granted I was never a Superman fan because he's practically invincible & the "perfect" person but Man of Steel's story about his internal conflict & the fact that he made mistakes & wasn't perfect was a version of him that I gravitated to.
I genuinely dont see how some people think this is the best live action Batman. The man is a complete fucking monster who makes so many stupid decisions i lost count of how many lol
So glad you also mentioned your appreciation for "Man of Steel". Never a truer word spoken about that movie, bud. Upon first release, I thought I was the only one out there who absolutely adored it. I've always considered it up there in my top 3 superhero movies of all time and now, it appears, justifiably so.
Keep up the awesome content!!! :)
Do you think that movie is the most underrated superhero film of all time, I do?
Lex Luther in this film is the most misunderstood greatest villain in film. The thing people don't get about Lex in BVS is he is playing 2 characters just like Superman is Clark Kent and Batman is Bruce Wayne in public. Lex in public alternate identity is an awkward weak nerd, who nobody suspects is a devious mastermind that preys on the heroes' weaknesses. Nobody will ever think he's a threat.
As for Lex figuring out who Superman and Batman are is explained when Bruce sees the classified computer files on Wonder Woman, Flash and Cyborg. He did research. One thing the scene should have had to better get this across was showing files on Batman and Superman, but not access them.
As for Batman the best way to describe his character is the phase "Being blind as a bat." All he can see is his hatred for Superman until the "Martha" moment.
Greatest villain in film? I know we should respect peoples opinions but thats just a dumb ass one
@@jeffcunningham0389 Snyder fanboys are obsessed with hailing everything he does as the greatest, deepest, most genius thing ever. Eisenberg's Lex sucked. He moved around like he was having fits. And his big motive was "No one saved me from my dad's abuse so I hate Superman." And instead of being his own villain he was a henchman of the equally shitty DCEU version of Darkseid. Him pissing in a jar and calling it granny's peach tea just because a senator earlier in the film said that, saying "The red capes are coming" like a dumbass and going "Ding ding ding" like he was a boxing or wrestling timekeeper at the end was unintentionally funny for a film Snyder expected everyone to take far too seriously.
@@Xehanort10 the movie would have been sooo much better with a much older and better actor in the role. I like snyders films but they aren’t masterpieces
@@Xehanort10 As you already mentioned in your comment this was a young Lex Luthor which is from the birthright comics. Jessie Eisenberg did a phenomenal job on portraying that Lex Luther. Lex’s reasoning in this movie for hating this movie is basically the same as every other iteration of Lex Luthor while also being fueld with the fact that his dad was abusive. Lex Luthor at his core hates being second to anyone and wants to rule over everything and everyone. Also, if you think that Zack’s version of Darkseid is bad than that’s definitely your opinion bro.
@@nyameleyefekaska2895 Ah yes, the Darkseid that was severely weakened by someone wonder woman already defeated and almost died from one axe to the shoulder who later completely forgot all about the planet with the anti-life equation. Yeah this version of Darkseid sucks 💀
Realistically I've probably watched that batman warehouse fight 1,000 times alone since it came out. Whether it's the best comic book movie fight can obviously be argued against but I will say it's definitely the best batman fight we ever saw on the screen.
It's definitely one of the best. Top three. Nothing in the Nolan films can touch it except maybe the Hong Kong extraction scene in TDK.
Is it your favorite Batman action scene ?
@@megamikethemovieman oh yeah by far. And it's only over 2 Mins so it feels quick
I laughed so fucking hard “Martha!” Did we just become best friends! 😂
20:31 They thought putting Dark Knight Returns and Death of Superman into the same film would work. It didn't.
Despite the flaws of this movie i would say Affleck outperformed Bale as Batman, no question!
7:47 The problem is he's Michael Bay without self awareness. Bay knows he makes OTT action films and doesn't pretend they're anything else. Snyder thinks his action films are character driven dramas.
The Ultimate Edition is in my top 10 superhero films of all time 💯 but call me biased
Affleck running directly into the dust and damage in the city was so badass
It was dumb that all the workers in it decided to stay inside. Despite seeing the entite city being destroyed.
@@anubusx yes as stated in the video
@@carn5haun343
They were pretty dedicated to their jobs!!!
Hard agree on the Martha scene. They should’ve played it out like:
S: I don’t care what you do to me, but please, save my mother!
B: you have a mother?
S: yes. Her name is Martha Kent. Please, save her.
Boom. That’s better.
Ben Affleck…such a fantastic Batman, such horrendous movies. 🤷♂️
Thank you! I can't stand it when people drag Affleck's Batman. He was amazing!
Hated the theatrical cut on 1st watch except for the epic warehouse scene but actually like the ultimate edition. It's solid. I'm not in love with man of steel but it's also good. If you watch snyder cut and ultimate edition it's a great trilogy of films and has aged well. None of the 3 films are in my top 5 or maybe even my top 10 super hero movies but all are good to great.
I prefer BvS over 2016’s Suicide Squad
The ultimate cut is my favorite batman and one of my favorite comicbook films ever made
Batfleck is STILL my fave *goes into hiding*
Hot take, I thought Eisenberg was a good Luthor. Different, but effective. He has a sharp intellect, but his undercurrent of utter psychological chaos happening underneath gives him effective characterization. The scene between Lex and Superman was a defining moment.
Does his Luther get better with every watch, I think so?
I didn't like Eisenberg take on Lex Luthor, I didn't like the whole Joker riddler mannerism. But if they do insist on keeping him as Lex, they have to write better.
@@danskyl7279 I thought he was a perfect Lex Luthor. Especially, since it was from the Birthright comic. Jessie did a spot on performance.
Still my favorite DC movie lol. Followed by Dark Knight.
I still believe that Batman v.Superman would’ve benefited from zero studio interference
The entire movie was spoiled in the second trailer
@@joenives2622 exactly
Just got back from the movies, the new movie was good. I just think that at the end of the day, Ben got screwed and never got his own solo movie. The warehouse fight scene in BVS was the best batman fight scene ever
Ben Affleck is a brutal Batman he is phenomenal with BvS i love it especially the UE
I absolutely fucking love this movie and it quite possible could be one of my favorite movies of all time I think it got way to much shit for no reason I get some of what people didn't like but to get as much hate as it did for Josstice League to happen is rediculous #RestoreTheSnyderVerse
The best version of Lex Luthor was Michael Rosenbaum in Smallville.
Im gonna be frank, Batman V Superman is one of my favorite comic films of all time. The common complaints are minor quibbles. Jesse Eisenburg is playing Birthright Lex Luther. That version of Lex is just like the one in BVS. Snyder stated he wanted Superman to die and be reborn in Justice League as more of the traditional Superman. The movie is a masterpiece. I could go on and on.
5/5
I always had a soft spot for this movie , Batman makes the movie.
What they should’ve done for Doomsday, in general, was have him “Die” at the end without Superman’s death. Then have him just be a recurring character throughout the DC Universe movies, that dies and somehow keeps getting revived, but getting stronger with each revival until the actual eventual final battle between Doomsday and Superman, where he ultimately kills the thing that he was created to, being Superman. Maybe Snyder was trying to go for that in the beginning who knows, but yeah Doomsday was honestly the most disappointing villain in probably all of the Comic Book movie genre just because they didn’t actually use him properly
This movie did get way too over stuffed towards the end?
It's a film with things I like in it, but the execution isn't completely there for a lot of it. I still find Lex Luthor's plan to be bonkers and hard to swallow at best.
Him creating Doomsday to kill Superman made no sense.
A spot on review Cody I enjoy this film apart from the awful portrayal of Lex Luthor & would've preferred Brian Cranston in the role.
My other gripe the BVS fight which felt one sided on Batmans part it doesn't feel epic enough.
WB wasted Cavill as Superman he deserves Man Of Steel 2 as he's a great actor who perfect in the role, I hope he next Bond now.
Great film in my opinion great action
That warehouse scene reminds me of those PS4 Batman games.
The best superhero movies;
MoS, BvS Ultimate Edition & ZSJL
#ReleaseTheSnyderVerse
I loathed this movie for so many reasons considering the sheer potential and fantasy build up for years at the possibility this ever being made. Batfleck was great in character and was done dirty by the writing, but the story is over convoluted nonsense and Batman who kills in a modern day film? Nope not for me it makes his relationship with his villains especially the Joker utterly pointless, no kill rule gives your film gravitas and sense of jeapordy/boundaries.. stakes.. hence why the Dark Knight is easily the best Batman film ever. Also he's dumb as hell for not figuring out who Superman is and Lex's dumbass plan. I feel so bad for Ben Affleck because with good writing and in a much better movie would be Undisputed number one Batman. The most offensive thing about this movie is it is overly dour it is devoid of any warmth or humour when needed. Yes you can be dark but it doesn't have to be 100% bleak. The Martha line.. from absolute bitter enemy to best friend in seconds? Unforgivable..just awful. I hated this film.
The whole thing about the Martha Scene was that Bruce Wayne realized that Superman wasn't the monster that he thought he was. He sees Clark as a man at that moment. Also if he can save Clark's Mom that will help him avenge his own parents
This video convinced me to see the ultimate cut (eventually) so I thank you for that.
Great review.
I totally agree. Man of Steel is not only fantastic but underated.
Man of Steel>Avengers.
And yes Batman v Superman is an 8 at best....Even the Ultimate Edition. I still like it but Justice League and Man of Steel are much better. And no i don't mean Josstice League
The fact we aren't gunna ever see Zach Snyder's justice league part 2 is heart breaking , and now we are probably going to wait another ten years before they try it again , I wish they would just get a great cast and make a live action justice league war movie where the heros face darksied , I mean we've seen all these characters origin Storys a million times we don't gatta have a four hour movie explaining all there's characters and then have a five minute fight scene at the end
I’m seeing The Batman tomorrow, but for now this is my second favourite Batman live action movie to date right after ZSJL... it got a lot of flaws(mainly in Lex Luthor) but the highs are really high for me...
You like these more than the dark knight films?
@@megamikethemovieman yes... I only really liked Begins, didn’t liked TDKR at all and think that The Dark Knight is great but really flawed(didn’t liked Two Face as A throwaway villain)... however, now The Batman is my second favourite after ZSJL, and my favourite solo Batman movie
The fight was great, but kickass and blade movies had done great fights too. Hard choices. Give me then all.
This movie is underrated, and I mean the ultimate edition
What started my love of Lex in this movie was realizing instead of the classic Lex tycoon of the past, this one is a modern tech billionaire. He's Bezos, Musk, and Zuckerberg rolled up into one. And the fact that the socially awkward part of the character is an act is meant to make you think about tech billionaires and their real ambitions.
I see your logic but it's still laughable. He has no menace,no charisma and he's not interesting. I love Eisenberg but he was miscast.
@jordansweet8054 nah he was cast pretty well for the role that he was given. Lex was miswritten.
Not gonna lie…. Civil War being its “competition” didn’t help the reviews and also, this may be like Freddy vs Jason to me. Me and My Dad was ready for superman vs batman no matter what. The Theatrical cut isn’t better than the Ultimate but i don’t regret the experience.
I didn't like the look of Doomsday or I didn't like the character of Lex Luthor
Just saw The Batman and this (as well as Justice League) still feature my favorite version of Batman. He’s just so well played by Affleck and I love seeing a tired/fed up Batman breaking his long standing morals after 20 years.
Just seen the Battinson he's now my 2nd favorite after Bafleck
Zack Snyder Justice League really made BVS alot better. Now we know the intention of BVS was going for.
Also the scene is JL when superman flies in the back suit with both his Father figures are talking in his mind is so heartbreaking and That's the moment when he decides to become the Superman we know and love.
I personally loved the direction the DCEU was going, especially the Batman aspect of it. Unfortunately though, when it comes to DC we aren't allowed to have nice things.
They should have cast Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor again or at least made him the blueprint of how a good character is portrayed
The warehouse scene is still the best batman scene ever
I'd say the motorcycle chase in Dark Knight is close but it is pretty good.
I don't think that the Chris Reeve Superman was "goofy" or "campy" it's what the true nature of what Superman is supposed to be a symbol of light and hope something that you don't get from the Zach Snyder version.
Just like Batman represents vengeance and darkness and Justice all though Henry Cavell is a pretty good choice for Superman I just don't think Zach Snyder truly understands the character and hence you don't get a good interpretation of Superman IMO, were as the Christopher Reeve Superman movies were iconic and and really made feel Henry Cavell Superman was sad and depressing
Which isn't how Superman is supposed to be
I have lightened up on this movie over time. With the Ultimate Edition's existence anyhow.
Me and you Cody are on the same page I really like the UE of the film
I didn't like the Theatrical cut when I saw it in the cinema - but then I knew it was robbed of its true potential, but the Ultimate Edition was just phenomenal and the more I watched it the more I loved it. The stylistic decisions and visual aspect won me over instantly. Unlike Nolan, ZS is always going to play to the fans first and foremost and he will always be closer to the source material - maybe that was not going to win the hearts of critics.
I heard recently Lex Luthor is actually Lex Luthor Jr - not sure if that's accurate or not but there was a lot of backlash over Jesse Eisenberg - personally I thought he was great. Then there was backlash over Ben Affleck as well (and the killing streak) - and he was also brilliant as a ruthless older Bruce Wayne (obviously reeling over the death of Robin at the hands of the Joker - but it made perfect sense to me) and the rest of the cast were exceptional too. It's just an amazing film - the opening intro and the warehouse!!! OMG - the best Batman film scenes ever!!!!
How would you rank all of Snyder’s trilogy?
@@megamikethemovieman that's actually really tough. I think The snyder cut would be first, followed by man of steel and then BvS, the only thing i think holding BvS back is a few plot holes as Cody mentioned. I do love the score in BvS and some of the scenes in particular feel much more epic but MoS just feels more consistent.
Hey Cody I’m curious to know if you ever got into Smallville ???
I love Ben Affleck as Batman. I really enjoyed this movie. I love your reviews and I was wondering maybe you could add what you would've did if you was directing the movie. For example you talked about the Martha Scene. How would you have done it.
This film I had the worst cinema experience I've ever had where people sitting in the row behind was kicking the chairs and talking on the phone after getting annoyed they waited for me outside and got into a fight because one of them sucker punched me when I walked out the cinema to this day I can't watch this film because it comes with such bad memories.
Loved it THEN, love it NOW. Really wish that Ben and Zack got the chance to see it all through to the planned end.
I enjoyed Ben Affleck’s Batman and I supported Ben Affleck’s Batman on principle
For me when it comes to this film. It's a film I watch for amazing scenes and didn't care for story. The action, the visuals, the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman is awesome! Henry Cavill is my favorite Superman, Gal Gadot is perfect as Wonder Woman, and Jeremy irons is great as Alfred. That Batman vs Luthor's men in the wearhouse was THE BEST BATMAN FIGHT IN THIS FILM. My problems with this film comes with the story and my fucking God Lex Luthor played by Jesse Eisenberg he was fucking terrible.
So do you want them to continue with the Dceu or reboot it?
Original: meh
Ultimate Edition: Hell Yeah
The problem with the Martha thing is a few minutes before Batman acknowledges that Superman probably has parents or role models who told him he was special and meant for great things. Their moms having the same name doesn’t change that. The whole reason Batman was upset with Superman was bc of the Zod fight. Before Zod and after Zod, Superman was saving lives. I guess Lex put a good frame job on him and punked Batman.
Best response to that moment dude.
It’s honestly a top 10 for me. I just love this movie so much and because of this movie I went around trying to find people that liked it online and I actually found people like you, Sean Chandler and Durbania along with many others specifically because of this movie.
21:02 WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?! 😉 Sorry, couldn't resist. I am glad you decided to use the Ultimate Edition for this review. I've never seen the theatrical version, nor am I interested in doing so, but I did enjoy the Ultimate Edition. Mostly because seeing as Wondy being my fav of the DC Big 3, I popped when she showed up. Anyways, thank you, Cody.
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, ngl
Personally I hate both cuts, but this is a great review. My opinion somewhat changed as I used to think it was the worst DCEU movie, but it’s better than Josstice League and Suicide Squad 2016
I prefer the Batsuit of both The Dark Knight trilogy and Batfleck
I’m sure that Batman surpasses Wolverine in terms of extreme brutality with some exceptions
I’m all for a Rated R Batman movie where Batman kills a bunch of people and goes berserker rage mode full on beast mode
Terrible film. Ben Affleck is a terrible Batman in my personal opinion.
All his hated gone because somebody said his mum's name.
Ultimate Edition is KING!
I hope Discovery restore Snydeverse!!!! In 2025-2026 Justice League 2. HOPE... #RestoreTheSnyderVerse
I never minded Superman dying because Snyders intention was to take from multiple comics and make his own story so I never minded that he took from the death of Superman story. It's only a letdown if you wanted a straight adaptation of death of Superman.
Yea I gave this one 4 1/2 stars 🌟..... I think it's a blast! Ben Affleck is the best Batman, Cavill is great.... that warehouse fight scene is so much fun... it will make you stop having sex with your girl just to watch it!
The only problems I have with it are...
- Eisenberg as Luther (too eccentric and weird)
- why was Bruce... heading toward the destruction in Metropolis at the beginning? What was his plan exactly? His manager employer was already having people evac... so what was Bruce gonna do exactly? You leave Gotham, take a chopper over the bay, grab a car... nearly wreck MULTIPLE times trying to get to the carnage... to do what exactly?
- Luther's plan for the big fight... you force Supermans hand to kill Batman and you have already created Doomsday to kill whoever wins that fight.... but how exactly was Luthor suppose to stop Doomsday? If Batman won the fight, he would obviously keep the kryptonite, if Superman won he would obviously get rid of the kryptonite.... so what was Luther's plan on stopping Doomsday?
You mean to tell me this guy who figured out both superheros identities, came up with this master plan of destroying the capital.... but he's gonna create this huge alien monster that he can't control? Hmmm I don't buy it.
- how does Lex know who Batman is? Bruce is in Gotham, Lex is in Metropolis, it's not like Lex gets to see Bruce/Batman all the time, and Batman is also a super genius and has committed his life to keeping his identity a secret, so how would Luthor know about him? With Superman it makes sense.... all his disguise is, is some glasses..... why is no one else able to put that together?
But overall I absolutely love this film, none of my issues are the big of a deal for me, nor do they negatively affect my viewing experience all that much.
It's a shame people would just see this batman being extra moody and violent and decide that this is the best live-action batman out of all of them
Lol.... no its not.
Batman is supposed to bed violent and dark and moody & brooding.
This as close to the comic book of Batman we will ever get.
@@leonardobraynen1524 Except comic book batman doesnt use guns and even refuses to let criminals die. BATFLECK is the most comic accurate batman? Are you on drugs?
While I did watch the ultimate edition a month ago I still didn't like it but I can acknowledge there are things I like for example
Ben Affleck Batman is fucking amazing and
The first 40 minutes of the movie is 9/10 after that not so much
I loved the warehouse scene it was basically Arkham knight Batman on the big screen and I liked gal Gadot wonder woman
I liked the batmobile and I loved the visuals and how it was directed it was beautiful
I liked the visuals for the Batman and Superman fight the the visuals of Superman in the sky while it was raining and lighting it was cool
And the montage of Superman carrying that rocket and him pulling the ship was cool
But the one thing that I did not like was the fight between Superman and Batman Batman catching Superman's punch was cool and Superman being unfazed by Batman's punches was cool and funny 💀💀💀 I just think (in my opinion) it was wasted potential of the greatest fight in comic book movies period I wasn't expecting buildings to get destroyed or explosions or city level damage but I just wanted something epic
(in my opinion)
11:24 I feel sorry for Cavill that he didn't get to play a proper version of Superman as the light hearted hopeful inspirational hero that he is instead playing a miserable selfish asshole Superman who only wants to save Lois and Martha, had an awful version of Jonathan Kent for a dad who told Clark that he should have let a school bus full of innocent kids die to hide his powers when he was a kid. Then later the dumbass committed suicide by walking into a tornado and told Clark not to save him. He kills a bunch of people while fighting Zod and doesn't give a shit whereas an in character Superman would feel great guilt. In BVS when Lex gets that man to blow up the courthouse to make it look like Superman did it, instead of staying to help he flies off basically helping Lex's framing of him. And for some reason he becomes friends with Batman who was trying to run him through with a Kryptonite spear seconds earlier in a scene intended to be Batman realising he was becoming like Joe Chill but ended up more like "My mother isn't the only woman in the world called Martha. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."
Agreed I liked Snyders Trilogy
4:50 I'd call Snyder's fanbase obsessed and cultish Cody not dedicated. They hate any film in any genre that doesn't involve him and are convinced anything not involving him is doomed to fail. They worship a pretentious hack as some filmmaking god. The failure of his films is treated by them as some evil conspiracy to destroy his career and ruin his life and according to them his daughter's suicide supposedly means that anyone who doesn't like his films is mocking and laughing at her death. Even if someone doesn't like Marvel they get called a Marvel fan for not liking Snyder. His films are simple and shallow but anyone who doesn't think they're somehow "deep complex masterpieces" is accused of not understanding them. And those people who spam that "Restore the Snyderverse" hashtag need throwing in an institution sharing the same padded cell.
16:48 It's like he was playing a bad Joker ripoff then got told he was supposed to be playing Lex Luthor at the last minute. Lex Luthor is supposed to be someone who can't handle that he's not Metropolis's most powerful man since Superman turned up not a manchild bitter that no one saved him from abuse. Smallville did Lex having an abusive dad better by showing that while how Lionel brought him up shaped who Lex was Lex made his own choices and was responsible for his own actions.
Cinema at its finest. Why watch the Godfather when BVS is right there
Cody didn’t understand that Batman, still a mere mortal, couldn’t possibly have the type of warehouse combat fight that he loved so much. Batman was fighting other humans in the warehouse, while he had more things to figure out and strategize when basically fighting a “god”! If they created a similar fight as the warehouse for Batman v Superman, I guarantee you Cody would have had 2000 complaints of how cheesy and unrealistic it would have been!
Also, when he criticized why employees were still in Wayne tower, he should revisit 9/11 when so many employees still stayed in the 2nd tower after finding out the 1st tower was hit! He wants everyone to have common sense, when folks don’t always display it in real life!🤔🤷🏼♂️
Am i the only one who thinks the CGI for doomsday (prior to him mutating) is possibly the best CGI ever put to film? I don’t understand why I’ve never heard anyone talking about it. It looks phenomenal. I say this as somebody who is very critical of this movie in general.
I feel exactly the same way about the Batman v Superman fight. I appreciate it more every time but it was a little disappointing opening night.
It’s the perfect example of something you overhype in your mind before a movie comes out.
Still don't understand the hate and criticism this film and the rest of the Snyder verse gets. It's the closest thing WB/ Discovery had to a Cinematic connective universe. Everything else from them is a restart and a retread. Hopefully Matt Reeves The Batman changes that and they make more and start to build off it.
Many criticisms of the movie when it released it was mostly people having. A “ I WANTED THIS , I WANTED THAT , THIS AHOULD HVE HAPPEN “ so not very valid criticisms
This movie is such a mess. The Batman vs Superman fight is too short. The Martha line is stupid for a resolution. Jesse Eisenberg is the worse Lex Luthor. Doomsday looks terrible. The Justice League email was so bad. How did Luthor know about Wonder Woman’s background? How did he know about Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg? The ultimate cut is just a longer garbage version. I still wish the final fight wasn’t Doomsday but Scoot McNairy as Metallo and we don’t get Jesse in the Luthor suit. Snyder’s visual style is nothing more than style over substance.
Ultimate edition or whatever U hate this movie. I don't care how ambitious it is; t's overlong,pretentious, boring and laughably dumb. This is my Phantom Menace,Crystal Skull,etc.
The warehouse fight is very cool,that's about it. It's a chore to watch and unlike even the likes of X-men Apocalypse and Green Lantern, I literally started to forget why I ever liked this stuff in the first place. 2/10
I almost didn't want to make this comment. However, I feel that it is only appropriate that I be honest. When this movie came out, I was hyped. "Batman vs Superman" how do you screw that up? ...Well, they found a way. I don't really know who's to blame for this train wreck, but when I went to see this in the theater, I came out both exhausted and VERY disappointed. No offense to anyone reading this. If you like this movie, that's great, just don't expect me to love it alongside you.
The Ultimate Edition Rulez✊🏻!
Fantastic movie. Should have been in theaters
Still the worst the superhero film of all time cause I didn't think any director or writer could fail with DC's holy trinity. The ultimate edition didn't make it better. The Snyderverse wasn't made for us DC fans sadly. Glad the Snyderverse is dead for good. Also DC comics has always portray the JL as Gods amongst men that wasn't snyder's idea yet it was his idea to cram in as much as possible we've seen him do this with ZSJL, army of the Dead etc. Snyder gave us a mindless brute Batman and a petty Superman whose father believes letting children die was a good idea. Jon Kent let held Clark back . The Smallville series being a great example. Snyder is only interested in showing how strong Superman is not showing his humanity. Snyder never agree to do scenes whwe Superman talks with a suicide jumper. That one moment in Jostice league were he talks to those kids filming him perfectly captured the essence of Supes far better than Snyder could. Snyder took on far much. He couldn't handle it you can easily see that. Oh and Tyler Hoechlin is the best grounded Superman.
I hope The Flash gives us one more epic Ben Affleck fight scene. I really do. We can use another Warehouse fight scene scenario or something close. Other than that when it comes to this movie, the big pros are Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and the divisiveness as far as the opinions of Superman. That's all I like really even though Affleck is one of my favorite Batmans and I would have loved to have gotten his solo movie. That is the best Batman fight scene and I love when he got shot in the back of the head point blank and it didn't do shit lol.
I just want to say..This Lex? I can see him being the Justice League Lex..the creep who wa so obsessed with Superman that made clones and was beating the crap out of him in a red uv room WITH kryptonite gloves
