Two titans of justice, Batman/Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) and Superman/Clark Kent (Henry Cavill), meet in the most anticipated showdown of our time. Fearing the actions of a godlike super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s formidable vigilante takes on Metropolis’ revered saviour while the world wrestles with that sort of herp it really needs. But as Batman and Superman go to war, a separate danger arises, one that may threaten all of humanity. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

I'm withholding my final rating until the extended cut. What I took away from the screening was just how incredibly simplified and overall hasty the editing was. Affleck's Bruce Wayne was great and even better than Batman, Superman was incredibly sidelined, Eisenberg was perfectly okay (as opposed to the trailers), and I like Gal Gadot in pretty much anything, but she was superb as Wonder Woman. What I find disappointing is Zimmer’s lackluster soundtrack, which, except for a few exceptions, lacks a memorable motif. Like many others, I have mixed feelings about this movie. My basic or slightly above-average knowledge of the DC world was obviously not enough. After watching it, I started browsing the Internet to find out what I had missed and, apparently, there were a lot of things. Indeed, Dawn of Justice is not a movie for the masses, but for true hardcore DC fans. For them it must be a near-orgasmic experience. After the second viewing and the subsequently watched solo movies, my rating is bound to go up.
