10/10: I had an awesome time watching this epic which has brilliant cinematography and fighting scenes. Director Synder masterfully tells a good story inspired from various comic storylines, and introduces many more characters in just 2 hours (which is not an easy feat), at a good pace without even feeling rushed - unlike in Raimi's Amazing Spider-Man 3. Critics watching this is expecting a "Marvel" style movie. Why should DC follow Marvel's footsteps? Get over it. This is DC's direction that they are heading and the sooner you accept the less disappointed you will be. Just don't understand why people can't enjoy the two very different styles of storytelling. BVS is everything I wanted in a comic book movie but more. It is made by a comic fan for the comic fans. I think DC has their Empire Strikes Back.
