Notwithstanding some funny lines by Spiderman and Antman, I was bored by Civil War, and yet it's lauded as one of the best comic adaptations ever. I went into Batman vs Superman with low expectations, but it was way more intriguing. Sure it had some plot contrivances, but which comic movie hasn't? Batman's motives to fight Superman were far more convincing to me than Iron Man's motivation to fight Captain America. Batman is a control freak and clearly not in a good state of mind at the beginning of the movie. Superman, on the other hand, cannot be controlled, neither by governments nor by other human means. And while the infamous "Martha" scene could have been handled better, the major point behind it, namely that Batman sees the person behind the Superalien and recognizes that he himself has strayed from the path, is an interesting one. Also while the seriousness of Civil War seemed rather forced, BvS had a naturally dark atmosphere to it. Complemented by the fantastic visual effects, this is a movie I would watch again, unlike Civil War. | ||

Yes this, I didn't think too much off it, it just made sense to me atleast. I guess it's the expectations people have with this movie that it gets slaughtered so much. I go into an Avengers movie expecting some fun moments and some action, while something that involves Batman, you expect something in the lines of Nolan's second Batman movie, which was really good. | ||

Watch ultimate cut which includes 30 minutes of extra movie which helps the plot much..u will enjoy it more with coherent plot | ||

I know some wanted to believe WB execs were at fault for cutting it short for the cinemas and that if Zack had his way the movie would have been a masterpiece, but that's just not true. The problems in the theatrical cut are still present in the director's cut. If you ask me, they should have cut even more from it and leave out many of the crammed stuff (Jesus stuff, slowmo crap etc) but expand a bit on characters and their motivations, especially Superman and Lex. I still didnt care one bit that Superman died even though there was some extra Clark footage. It didnt add any emotional value for his death to have any meaning imo. this movie cant be a master piece,but atleast now the chicken is roasted, | ||

Felt like the one I watched at theatre was a batman movie with superman sprinkled in , but this cut was superman movie with Batman sprinkled in. I think ,if people had problems with characterization in theatrical cut , then this 30 mins won't solve it ,but these 30 minutes add atleast some plotlines to it and makes Clark and lex plot and motivations coherent to say ,at least. | ||

Batman went from trying to kill Superman with everything he got to being BFF in stupid way but other than that I got no complaints. Guess it was kind of convenient to have a Kryptonite Spear all ready for Doomsday too. Also couldn't buy the idea of Superman actually dying during the movie and of course that didn't end up being the case as teased in the end. | ||

And the obvious references for the next movies... + Show Spoiler + Darkseid is coming references from the vision, Lex Luthors speech after having accessed the computer (one of the deleted scenes, you see the demon, pointing out to apokalips) makes me hyped. That's why he says they already know that God is dead and they are coming... I mean, you need some knowledge of the comics i guess, but the script is tight enough. | ||

Anyway just watched the 3 hour version and I thought it was great, several times better than Age of Ultron by my standards at least, not seen Civil War yet.

I haven't seen any MCU movie, but after reading the Age of Ultron comic, I don't think that I ever will. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Could the dream like flashback sequence of the hand out of the computer have been the Flash. If so please God don't let this be a slow build up of a Flaspoint movie with Snyder at the helm | ||

Probably not buildup for Flashpoint but for Justice League or maybe even some version of Injustice storyline | ||

What it means is anybody's guess. | ||
