Saw Batman vs Superman last night. I actually enjoyed it, it was fun and entertaining movie. The film editing and scene cutting was amongst the ****tiest I've ever seen in a film. What the actual ****? It literally does every filming making no-no in the book. Did Zack Snyder fall asleep when they put the film together? Did the producers at WB go on extended vacation? WTF?! No wonder the critics tore it apart. The plot was ehh... The entire fight can be summed up by saying Batman was an asshole who couldn't just say "Hey, you okay?" Instead he goes in Call of Duty style and pew pew **** you. I understand why he felt the way he did, but he's BATMAN! He investigates before he pulls the trigger. Also so many scenes were out of place and didn't have the effect that they clearly intended the audience to have.
There are some great things in the movie that I did like. I thought Ben Affleck was great. I am one of the few that think Henry Cavill is the perfectly casted Superman. He's a good actor and he looks just like Superman from the comics imho. The special effects were awesome as well. Zack really knows how to make great actions scenes.
Sometimes actors can only be as good as the script. Which brings me to mention, which I think is the highlight of the film is Jesse Eisenberg. His acting was phenomenal. Was he Lex Luthor? No, but at the same time. I'm unsure if my comment on that is even accurate considering his appearance in the film, while was major, came off more as an origin story for him. After all he doesn't get that "look" until the end of the film. He was also originally casted to play a very different character, then they changed the script and changed his role. I've never been a fan of that actor and only really liked him in one role, but he proved some real talent here. Unfortunately he got **** on by the direction of the film. I stand by my words and say that he doesn't deserve and of the **** people are saying about him, from an acting perspective. He was outstanding in comparison of most of the cast. Far above average, even if his character was a 180 degree different. In this case, it comes down to the writer, not the actor. He did a DAMN good job with the scrip he was written.

I have the need to say that when I went to the theater last night. Some jackass decided to drive over the curb to skip the traffic circle. It would have taken him an additional 10 seconds to go around. The **** is wrong with people?
