Well guys, Finally saw it in 70mm IMAX. I admit I was, while hopeful, going into it a bit reserved and anxious. But Jesus Christ was my mind blown. Even my friend who absolutely hated MoS and rated it lower than GL said he really liked it, and did not deserve the score it got on RT.
There were so many moments where the crowd bursted out into cheers and applause. I miss those moments in these big movies. And it ended in thunderous applause as well.
This whole thing is making me mixed about whether I want Snyder to do JL or not. I mean the visuals in this film are top effin notch. But the cutting in the first half, like most people say, is kinda messy and choppy. Like i can tell there's a really good story in there, but for whatever reason, certain scenes weren't given time to fully pan, resulting in some choppy edits. Personally, it didn't really detract from my experience, since I was able to follow the story, but I can understand if certain parts may leave the GA scratching their heads. But, at least in my theater room, it seems the incredible second half more than makes up for the first, which was basically to set up the rest of the movie anyway.
So all in all, aside from some issues with the editing of the first half, and my still at the moment mixed views on Lex, this film is definitely better than MoS, and, IMO, worthy to start the DCEU. The stuff that happens in here is almost straight out of comic book pages, not just in homage and adaption wise, but the style of the fights and action choreo. WOW. I give it an 8 out of 10, and a definite must see.
