May 8, 20169 yr I've seen it 3 times now and it held up each time. There were actually parts in the screenplay that I only picked up on during the third viewing, which will no doubt tie it in with Suicide Squad and that ominous Robin suit in the glass case. I can't disagree that it's long, but I never felt bored by it. The dream sequence is definitely too important to cut out, but I do wish they'd done something a little bit different with Aquaman's introduction. I was really really looking forward to seeing him so was a little let down by that. Otherwise, I think they teased enough about what's to come to keep people interested. Affleck was incredible. He is without a doubt, my absolute favourite Batman ever. Also, the entire opening sequence with Bruce witnessing the Superman/Zodd battle from the ground was beautifully handled and shot. That set up perfectly why he has an inherent hatred for Superman. I can't really understand why some people don't think this was clear. I think what I liked about this Batman, was how brutal he was. The warehouse fight scene towards the end is the best example of that. He's a proper brawler and it's about time. Also, Jeremy Irons was the perfect Alfred to this Bruce. They got it just right. Wonder Woman was also amazing. She even shows up with her own rocking theme tune, and she totally elevated that final battle. She was the one character I was worried they would screw up, as she's probably the hardest character to get right, but they nailed it. My interest in her solo movie increased infinitely after watching this. So, so looking forward to seeing more of Gadot, Affleck and Irons in the upcoming movies. Cavill is probably the weakest link in the whole chain at this point, but he can only do the best with what he's given and this definitely wasn't a Man of Steel sequel. He was almost relegated here. A solid 8/10 for me, mostly due to Batman, Alfred and Wonder Woman, and the decent job of teasing what's to come.
