Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

The ultimate edition is actually really good, the theatrical cut isnt that good

No idea why this page still has such bad reviews, even after we have the extended cut. The theatrical cut really doesn't do it justice. Absolutely loved the movie, beautiful cinema!

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.

The extended cut is definitely the way to watch this movie. That being said, I'm going to explain to everyone the highly criticized "Martha" scene.

The reason Batman ultimately stopped short of killing Superman had nothing to do with both mothers having the same name. While Clark saying that name caught him off guard, once Lois explained it's his mother's name, Bruce realized in that moment that Superman was as human as anyone else. Remember, right before"Martha", Batman said he probably isn't even human. But by having a mother, Bruce realized Clark was as human as anyone else, since all humans have a mother. That's what that scene is all about.

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...
