Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

If you are lazy to read the entire review, just read this: 31 minutes of footage makes a HUGE difference in the film/storyline.

To be honest, I was not so impressed when I saw the first cut (2h32m) as I got the impression that the story was rushed and confused... but then I watched the extended version and it all made sense, the added details matter a lot!

If you like me thought that this filme was not good, I say this to you: give it a try, but watch the extended one. If possible, watch it in IMAX and I'm sure your experience will be different!

One more thing... if you recently watched the Snyder Cut, BvS will make even more sense now - trust me.

Rating 8/10 for the extended version (6/10 for the 2h32m cut).

The first Batman v Superman movie I saw was the extended cut and it was incredible. I loved this film. The story was good. Loved all the dc Easter eggs in the film. The only thing that I didn't like was Jesse eisenberg as lex luthor. He is a great actor but him as lex luthor just didn't work. Other than that I highly recommend watching the extended cut other than the regular version.

After I saw the original theatrical cut opening night, I was conflicted. I knew I still liked it but couldn't tell how much. So I watched it again that weekend. Upon my second viewing I realized I liked it a lot and gave it an 8. Still a great, although misunderstood, film. It made me think, feel, and had my favorite Batman and Superman in it (with an awesome Wonder Woman too).

When this Ultimate Edition came out though, I had to buy it and watch it right away. I was blown away. It was actually better than the theatrical cut! And seeing it several times over the years, this film has become even better than the day it released. In my opinion it is one of the most interesting, thoughtful, emotional, and beautiful superhero movies ever created. I can honestly say it changed my life, and I will always defend it.

This is the version WB should have released in theaters. Snyder delivers yet another gorgeous movie with a compelling story. Ben Affleck's Batman is easily the best Batman yet and his arc in this movie is fantastic. A political thriller with imperfect heroes. Underrated masterpiece.

If you've only given Batman v Superman, BvS, once, or havnt given it a shot due to divisive reviews give the directors a shot. This film fills in the holes and expands the story and characters enough that certain scenes mean alot more and certain views are more understandable. It's not crazy different from the theatrical version, but enough warrant a better score and ultimately make BvS a better film. Man of Steel, BvS Directors cut and Zack Snyders Justice League, when viewed in the order are a decent trilogy in their own right and enjoyable for the fans of DC comics...
