A full review of BATMAN vs SUPERMAN : DAWN OF JUSTICE minus the spoilers

OK, just watched the much hyped and anticipated Batman VS Superman : Dawn of Justice movie yesterday at 9.00 PM on IMAX 3D.

My first review is whether it's worth it to watch in IMAX 3D. Truthfully, if you have the IMAX 2D version, just go for those. 3D effect I thought would be much better in this movie but I was wrong, it was a good addition but it is not something that I think we must have unlike The WALK.


Having Gal Gadot is a very much welcomed addition and brings a very dynamic chemistry to this film. Instead of just watching Batman hate Superman and vow his vengeance, we also get to see Wonder Woman's entry into all of this and how she could shape the battle to come. Her history is also very intriguing and I am looking forward to Wonder Woman.

The story mainly tells of Superman and how his powers are viewed in the world 18 months after the devastation in Metropolis or 18 months after the world was introduced to Superman. A lot of mixed feelings about his powers and whether to govern him through man's law and code of conduct. How to make him accountable and whether he will be a force that can be controlled by the government?

The best twist in the movie and the person that brings everything together in this movie is Lex Luthor aka Jesse Eisenberg. Watching him make Doomsday and how his plans all unravel was just the highlight of the movie.

The movie is titled Dawn of Justice because it really is the Dawn of Justice League. If you plan to continue with Justice League in the near future, you shouldn't miss this. I can't say how he connects every other superhero in this movie without giving away spoilers but it similar to how the movie WATCHMEN strings together their heroes. I can only thank god I don't have to wait another 5 years for the introduction of every character before they begin Justice League. That would be so boring.

The next Wonder Woman movie will be the movie that brings Justice League together before the actual Justice League movie.

Overall, I think DC made a wonderful job with this movie. I was not such a big fan of Man Of Steel due to their convoluted timeline and constant flashbacks. Their fight scenes was also not something I prefer. However, this movie brought a whole new different appreciation to DC. The superpowers & their abilities are more pronounced than Marvel and they are so much more devastating than Marvel. Watching a whole city destroyed in 5 seconds is so much more satisfying than watching 5-6 person protect a beacon (Age of Ultron?)

All in all, I'm a fan of Marvel and their styles are totally different to DC and I guess choice is a good thing. Marvel has some work to do though now. It's no longer the only capable comic franchise in the cinematic universe.
