8/10
Really, really good
30 October 2021
I was greatly impressed by this movie, much more than I thought I would be. I actually thought Ben Affleck was great in the role of Batman, contrary to pre-release public angst. Henry Cavill, of course, is awesome as Superman. Jeremy Irons is perfect as Alfred, the scolding father-figure-conscience that Bruce Wayne needs, although every time he opens his mouth I hear Scar (Jeremy Irons' iconic Lion King role). Laurence Fishburne was a welcome surprise as Perry White This movie touches on a lot of subject matter, and takes its time nicely to develop back-story, side-plots, and flesh out Batman's violent and evil side. He's really a sadistic vigilante. But that's why we love him. Ben Affleck plays it gritty and angry, and it works. The casting of Eisenberg as Luthor was a little iffy and more annoying than evil, but he makes up for it in craziness. I don't want to give away anything else. This movie is definitely worth a watch. Really, really good!
