Hello Friends,
It’s finally
here!! the last film of the 1st quarter of 2016 Batman Vs
Superman.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters this Thursday/Friday, an anticipated blockbuster for
over 4 decades , rated 9.4/10 by IMDB finniest movie critics, born from the
ages of the black & White TV sets, an event film that my 10-year-old self
wanted but could never have imagined would actually happen. So what
did I think of the movie? What did I like? What did I have problems with?
If you call me tonight at 23:59.30secs I will tell you my spoiler-free
reaction to the film. So if you’ve seen the trailers, feel free to
proceed without any worry of plot points as all I can say is Yes..
Absolutely Yes.
I have less than
24hours to go before I get the chance to tell you all about my Batman Vs
Superman experience… this was like no other movie I had seen before. The
dawn of Justice takes you far away into that place we call Hollywood, were
everything is just perfect and for a few hours you forget it’s all just a
movie…or is it!!
Warner Bros. has
notably been very selective in inviting press to early screenings of this
film. Last week screening for Exhibitors and members from the media were
forced to sign NDAs (non-disclosure agreements), which was very unusual.
None of the attending press were allowed guests, which again, was unusual, and
it’s not because the theater was packed — the theater we saw the film in
appeared to be more than half empty as the lights went down we knew the wait
was over.
P.s- Advise your
guests to have their toilet break before the film starts and to purchase two
large popcorns, one shawama, one hotdog, two packs of maltesers and two long
throat pet coke bottles as Zack Snyder knows how to start a movie with a bang
and ends with a…. :)

Storyline
Following
his titanic struggle against General Zod, Metropolis has been razed to the
ground and Superman is the most controversial figure in the world. While for
many he is still an emblem of hope, a growing number of people consider him a
threat to humanity, seeking justice for the chaos he has brought to Earth. As
far as Bruce Wayne is concerned, Superman is clearly a danger to society. He
fears for the future of the world with such a reckless power left ungoverned,
and so he dons his mask and cape to write Superman's wrongs. The rivalry
between them is furious, fueled by bitterness and vengeance, and nothing can
dissuade them from waging this war. However, a dark new threat arises in the
form of a third man: one who has a power greater than either of them to
endanger the world and cause total destruction!
Did you know?
Ben Affleck asked Christian Bale for any advice he
could give about playing Batman. Bale told him to "make sure you can piss
in that suit." The two men met quite by accident in a costume shop. They
were both buying a Batman costume for their kids.
In an interview with Jimmy
Fallon, Ben Affleck said
he was warned by Warner Bros. about the possible negative reaction to his
casting and was advised to remain off the Internet after the casting
announcement. He also said to assuage his concerns the studio showed him
negative comments that fans had initially made to previous superhero castings.
Affleck said in spite of the studio warnings he still checked out an online
message board. The first comment he read was "Affleck as Batman?
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" After seeing that he immediately went offline.
Henry Cavill put on
twice the amount of muscle mass for this film than he did for Man of Steel (2013). His trainer
said that it was possible because Cavill had kept up a lot of his Superman
fitness regiment in the break between the two films, so they were able to build
on that foundation and achieve an even bigger body this time around.
A rough cut of the film was shown for the executives at Warner Bros.
They were reportedly so impressed that they not only gave the film a standing
ovation, but also began negotiating a deal with Ben Affleck to have him make
three solo Batman movies, rather than the original plan to make only one.
