    Batman vs Superman : The Dawn of justice
    the-hidden-plot-of-batman-vs-superman-dawn-of-justice-593860.jpg

    The 2nd trailer gave the whole damn movie away!!
    Great action but plot wise it was all over the place.
    Best thing about the movie was of cause Ben Afflack's Bruce Wayne/Batman. This is the best,most badass version of Batman on screen.
    Even Gal Gaddot had the spirit of Wonder Woman but her Barbie skinny figure just wasn't convincing. Wonder Woman, though pretty, is not a skinny thin person. She's nearly as strong as Superman and has a well toned 160-180 pound body.
    Someone like Gina Carano would've been more fitting for the role. Henry Cavil's Superman was good and Jesse Heisenberg's Luthor was good as well.
    Also they had the worst method of cameoing the justice league!!! A fricking email!!!
    Much as I prefer DC movies over Marvel, Cap America: Civil War is likely to kick this one out of the box office hard and fast.
    A 7 from me and The Dark Knight remains best DC comics movie to date.

    The grumpy old man has spoken my mind

    To this date I dont know why Gal Gadot had any chance of being WW other than Jewish lobbying.
    Saw an article its because she is a trained soldier and her extensive knowledge in weapons. Seriously ? wtf

    And yes I had a good feeling about Ben being the batman.

    Though I might not gonna watch this in Savoy

    Now its im looking forward to Jared Leto

    The likely reason for going with Gal Gaddot is that she can act. Gina Carano, Ronda Rousy or Carla Gugino has the body build and in the case of Gina Carano and Ronda Rousy, they can kick butt for real and on screen, but cant act for toffee.
    Gal Gaddot can act as well as kick butt on screen. Also, she's got the role of Wonder Woman right. In her fights, you can see that she enjoys the battle and wont give up even when the odds are against her. The only problem is that she doesnt have the body for the role.
    I do recommend watching this one at Savoy or any other 3D movie hall. The action scenes alone are worth it.
    Ben got the role of the Bat down to a pat! :) He was kicking ass and taking names. Lets say he won the Batman Vs. Superman part of the movie.
    BTW, you can see the comics they used as sources for this. Dark Knight Returns and Doomsday were heavily used. The Batmobile and the BatPlane was cool and practical as hell. If only they spent the same amount of time and resources on the movie plot..
    Also, even though the movie was well over 2 hours long, it looked rushed. I seriously hope there's an uncut, directors or extended version of the movie that will make better sense than the theatrical version.

    Edit:
    one good thing, they've got rid of the ridiculous premise that Lois Lane cant figure out that Supes and Clerk is the same person. Supes still goes as Clerk Kent in the daily planet but Lois knows that it is him and the two makes no attempts to hide it from each other.

    You didn't cover the Carla Gugino's case right ?

    Gal Gaddot can act ...that she doesnt have the body for the role.

    Agree
    But didn't they have any other choice ? Man these people have casting directors whose sole job is to find the right cast

    They have banks of actors against their characteristic. No one but Gal Gadot ?

    This is where I hit the wall. I am NOT familiar with the comic works. I have nothing to compare against to ascertain how well the job is done.

    I assure you this is the case with many people there.
    Significant people who went to Star Wars VII have not a freaking clue of all the movies.

    Which is why I coudn't enjoy Man of Steel.
    The same director who memorized me with 300- action gave me a headache in the hall on that one.

    So pardon me for my reluctance on watching this on big screen if it doesn't have a good story line

    Carla Gugino isnt as good an actor as Gal Gaddot. I doubt Carla can headline a standalone movie and make box office gold. Gal Gaddot, despite her thinness, can do that. Which is probably why they went with her.

    Watch it in the Halls for the 3D, unless you got a 3D player at home. There are some great uses of 3D in this movie.

    As for the sources, spotting them is something for the fans of the comics. As for movie fans, there is a decent plot to follow. However, it is linked with The Man of Steel so having some idea of what happened in that movie helps, even though the key plot points of that movie are covered in this one as well.
    For the non comic reader, there's an alien with super human powers whom many have begun to liken to god, due to his abilities. At the same, his powers frightens others and question what his intentions are. Luthor, using the government follows one route. Batman, experiencing first hand, the kind of damage superman can do, follows another route.
    The whole Wonder Woman angle is unfortunately, to shoe horn in the upcoming Justice League movie and has no other real use in the first part of this movie. This is also why I hope that there's an uncut version of this movie so that all these elements can tie in together much better than the way it happens on screen.
    The movie allows for a lot of tie in movies, which I believe was another goal from the film companies pushed on to the director so that he had to find ways to allow for those as there's a lot of things left to be explained, such as why Batman kills or allow bad guys to die with such reckless abandon. Why the heck Luthor collects info on Meta Humans and work with the govt on that (IE: the Cadmus project). Why Luthor has a problem with Superman, etc.
    Dont expect Chris Nolan level of story telling from this one. Nolan expects the viewers to have some level of intelligence to put one and one together. Zack Snyder, either by choice or cause he was forced, expects the viewers to be 10 - 12 year olds. most likely, its forced on him to dumb things down, but thats where it is. Its clear that the studios wants to sell a shit ton of toys and other merchandise from this so this is probably one major reason to actually include Wonder Woman in this movie as well.

    Normally you forget you are watching a 3D one after the first few minutes. Maybe thats why Nolan didn't go with that flow

    There are some great uses of 3D in this movie.

    In that case, its worth a shot
    I saw that Junglebook trailer. Man that was......

    Sorry I had to stop reading halfway. Looks like you are spoiling the story
    However thanks for everything.


    To Zeus, If u wanna enjoy the story better watch it in home, u can't do it in Savoy with screeming people.

    Not spoiling the story as you've probably already seen enough Superman movies either life action or animated to know that Luthor is Superman's enemy number 1.
