I usually wait to see teasers for future films in an
actual theater but I couldn’t help myself and I watched this one online. I think
it’s because I assumed the teaser for this DC comics superhero launch would
suck. I was so wrong. This was an outstanding teaser. I still can’t believe how
much I enjoyed it. It pumped up my expectations a lot that is certain. The
opening shot of a statue of Superman with voice-overs from various people
talking about him was a great way to get you interested. The idea that Superman
is seen by some as a God and others worry about him being too powerful is
realistic and helps open up Bruce Wayne’s concerns. Ben Affleck looks great as
Batman. He’s a beast out to dominate Superman and make sure he’s not a threat.
The last line, “Do you bleed? You will.” is so menacing that it frightened me.
In any other film the line might have come across as a bit cheesy but it works
perfectly here. Zack Snyder might actually get this one right. It’s looking to be a
great and exciting film. If Gal Gadot impresses us as Wonder Woman than I think
we’ll have a great series of comic book films from the WB. This is the film to
watch so far for 2016. Grade: A
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
