So I finally saw it yesterday. Quick review, no spoilers:
Pretty good. Not as good as the first "Man of Steal" but still pretty good.
I didn't race to see this one in the cinema because when I heard about it, I thought "how the hell could Batman ever beat Superman?". The reason is revealed in the movie of course and it works. So, fun stuff there.
The movie is surprisingly dark. You feel bad for Supe-baby, you feel bad for Bat-baby. Ben Affleck is a good actor and is a good Batman. But then again its hard to tell because the tone is so dark and he holds that tone for the entire movie. (Stuff happens that turns him dark).
The music is the same as was in Man of Steel. Which is excellent. But the same.
Plenty of surprises beyond Wonder Woman, and plenty of easter eggs for eagle-eyed dorks like myself.
I saw it in RealD-3D, which is completely terrible. Movie makers really need to stop this. At least the theatres near me offer it in both original 2D and 3D but time constraints force me to see the 3D version. Too-dark images + blurry images + image overlaps and other artifacts and without any actual "comin' atcha moments" = RealD3D. Plus, its yet another 2D to 3D "Converted" movie, not actually shot in 3D. So, waste of time and money and energy all around.
But besides that, still a good movie and worth watching.
