Nah you don't car, you've sen this film already.

I've heard before that DC will start their universe with this film "Batman V Superman" and I was pretty much excited to see DC start their own universe.I was in loved with the teaser trailer,it didn't give much away and it made me more hyped than ever,then the comic con trailer,it added again the hype! But when the 2nd trailer came out I was kind a bit disappointed,I agree from other people that they've shown the whole film but the 3rd trailer gave it justice.Then the wait is over,its finally here,I was so excited to see this film with my friends.After that ..............

I was so disappointed of this film.It rely too much of setting up the future DC film.It's dark but it bored the heck out of me unlike Man of Steel it entertains me from beginning to end even though it has a lot of problems,Here it the problems are everywhere.The story isn't consistent and the pacing is bad.It felt like there are so many scenes that have been cut in order to have the run time that they where ordered.

Secondly,the characters and performances of the cast playing their respective characters.Ben Affleck sold me as Batman,but his character that he is playing was represented wrongly.Henry Cavil's superman was forgettable well in this film atleast,he doesn't do much in the film rather than beat up by batman. Speaking forgettable characters, Louis lane.I think they have a hard time fitting her in this film.Now we get f**king Lex Luthor....Jr. oh men even though I'm not a big lex luthor fan I still think his lex luthor is stupid unlike his predecessor and his motivation is weak.The next is Wonder woman even though Gal Gadot is good as wonder woman and the great entrance of her character was executed well accompanied by a good score but I think she was shoehorned in the film.She didn't do much besides fighting doomsday and walking around.And we have the other character ,cameos I mean,Let me break them one by one but let me talk on thing,The introduction of each characters for the future of dc is the most laziest they've done,everything was in a flashdrive and was sent in an e-mail,shown in an e-mail.anyway The flash was there it was good but not,Aquaman,so freakin awkward but cyborg was interesting.Yeah that's about it.And Oh Doomsday is here,it looks like crap.And the final scene is Man of steel again. Yay!

And also the ideologies,the motivations were convoluted as hell.

Thirdly,Let me give the positive.Like I said Ben affleck did a great job as batman and Bruce Wayne but not technically batman cause he murders a lot of people.He did a a great job.Jeremy Irons is Alfred is different from other incarnation but at least he did a great job(I forgot about him).The music is fantastic.And some scenes were well executed especially the warehouse scene and the BATMAN V SUPERMAN scene.The first scene was good too,the origins of Batman,that we've seen a lot and the perspective of Bruce Wayne when Sups battle it out with Zod.

Verdict: I want to love it but it didn't. It really wants to setup the future of DC and that's the reason why the story is convoluted and isn't consistent.And there are a lot of characters that aren't great and shoehorned.But I might say it has potential to be great and the cinemophotograpy was great so does the score.
