Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Collector Edition [Blu-ray]

I'm going to keep this brief. I loved this film, truly loved it. I found that most negative reviews have been about an expectation of their characters and story of Batman v Superman to be the defining flaws they find within the film. Lex Luthor wasn't the stoic business man they were expecting, they hated it. Batman wasn't the strict but golden hearted man, who would never kill out of some strange moral code, they hated it. Superman wasn't iron strong in his beliefs and forever the optimist in human kind, they hated it. What I found is each of these characters were in a spot which was just outside of their normal character traits and this film proved the turning point for them to become or re-become that quintessential super hero. Batman is passed his prime, and after years of being tormented by various villains and losing one too many close friends and family members, he has all but given up on saving those who do wrong. He is in the game because he saves the innocent, and be damned with the guilty. Superman is yet to find himself, still tormented with the death of Zod and his battle for identity. Between the human who loves Louis and the alien who has become both feared and revered. Lex is the arrogant know it all, who thirsts for power, but isn't quite mature enough yet to take it by more practical means, and thus the throws en-genius tantrums against society and those he can't control.This story is a battle of ideologies, Superman trying to save a world which he doesn't believe wants him, and batman living in a world which wants him but he doesn't believe can be saved. The fight itself is short, but the fight is just a representation of the climax between the two, and to remove spoilers, i wont say who won. But the man or alien who believed in their cause stronger, took the win. The action on all ends of this film was brilliantly choreographed and I personally had no trouble following any of it. This film more than any other felt like gods battling among-st us.By the end of the film, Batman had a small part of his soul restored, faith in people to do good slightly restored and a glimmer of prime batman flickered at the end. Superman understood that this world did need him, and the world responded in kind, his faith restored stronger than before.Finally, I'd like to add, unlike a Marvel film, which I do love. Please look at this film with depth, think about each characters actions and the acting on display. Don't watch this film with preconceived notions of how they should behave, because this is a lived in world, prime batman has come and gone, prime superman hasn't even begun. This universe has started itself in the middle of a real world, rather than the beginning of the world, like with Iron-man. The acting was superb, the CGI for 90% of the movie was on point, major risks which we have yet to see from marvel have been taken in this film and it honestly feels like a refreshing breathe of fresh air. Although i don't require it, i do wish more critiques saw it the way I did. I do hope this bad spell for DC doesn't dumb down their future content and they manage to find a suitable middle ground for future films. 10/10, The night is darkest before the dawn, I cannot wait for suicide squad, wonder woman, infinity war part 1 and the rest of DC's cinematic universe.

Kal'el looses he's abilities around Kryptonite so how does he fly with it to kill doomsday..

Coming to this film long after its release (2016) and having seen very little DC since .. this film did what was expected with enough good acting and faaaairly intelligent script to balance up that it is at heart a super hero cape fest.Ends up with a typical slug fest where most of the intelligent build up is kinda wasted ... but Afleck & Cavill worked well and the action sequences are well shotFelt a little bad for Amy Adams'Lois Lane ... started off as an intelligent character with good agency but by the end was pretty much an accessoryAnd Laurance Fishburne was completely wasted on this!!Oh and Gal Gadot has a few scenes making her mind up to actually do something!!!So if you're up for an alpha male head to head and especially if you're a fan of the Frank Miller original comic you'll should have some fun with this!

How would the world react to an alien being, seemingly invulnerable, suddenly living among us?18 months have passed since that fateful ending to Man of Steel. The world has, to a certain extent, grown used to sharing the planet with Superman, but doubts still remain over his true intentions and no one is more suspicious than Batman (played expertly by Ben Affleck). He has no trust at all in mankind, so an alien has no chance. And he has a point. If Superman was to decide to fry us all he could without any resistance. It's a scary thought. What if Superman was to turn against the human race? What could we do?Well Lex Luthor (perhaps the most irritating character ever portrayed in a film) has a plan but that plan involves turning the already fearful and suspicious Batman further against the man in blue by manipulating the world around them. He brings them together, sets things in motion, and ultimately forces the two protagonists into a fight to the death. Black v Blue, Man v God as Lex puts it. It's a subtle take on our own real-world conflicts and it works very well. The reason for the end of the fight is a little questionable, but I can let that slide.Wonder Woman is, of course, introduced in this film as are several of the other characters from the DC universe. Aquaman (thankfully not the same as the one portrayed in Entourage), Cyborg and Flash all make brief appearances setting the tone for the next film. It's well done and doesn't appear forced at all.Henry Caville does another excellent turn as the conflicted, confused and quite often misunderstood Superman. He doesn't have many lines in this film with a count of just 42 so he can mostly be seen using facial expressions instead but he's more of a supporting character in this film with Batman taking most of the limelight this time around. But it's still an excellent performance that sees him go from the persecuted to worshiped as the film goes on with convincing turns at each step.All in all, if you're looking for something to sink your teeth in to, something that offers the escapism of a superhero movie but that also throws your way a more meaningful and thought-provoking spectacle than just two men hitting each other then I cannot recommend this film highly enough. Yes, there is violence aplenty but it's all there for a reason that the other superhero movies don't give you. This is dark, menacing, expertly written and directed and should not be missed.

Can watch it when I want too

Excelente Calidad de Video y Audio, rebasó mis espectativas. Nunca antes habia visto este corte de versión, son 30 min extras, pero que nos dan más parte del mundo y visión de Zack Snyder. Justamente funciona y complementa perfectamente su version de Justice League. Todo se explica más, tiene mayor profundidad e incrementa el Hype del mundo Zack Snyder. Si son fans, deben verla!

Film w tej wersji to jest majstersztyk!

Una versión extendida que es la que imagino Zack Snyder y la que no le dejaron estrenar en cines. Una maravillosa cinta de superhéroes donde nos introducen al GENIAL Batman de Affleck de una manera tan medida como acertada. Cavill esta otra vez enorme y ver enfrentados a los dos mejores superhéroes de la historia en una cinta de acción real es un sueño hecho realidad. También nos presentan a Wonder Woman entrepretada extraordinariamente bien por el ángel que es Gal Gadot. Además este caramelo viene envuelto en esta ocasión en un steelbook que es una maravilla absoluta al alcance solo de unos genios como son Mondo. La versión es polaca pero el audio y subtítulos están en varios idiomas, entre ellos el castellano.

Batman vs. Superman was in part a sequel to Man of Steel and in part, a setup for The Justice League movie, introducing the new DCEU versions of Batman (played by Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot), and via short cameos the new Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Mamoa), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher). It also brought back Amy Adams in her role as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, and brought in Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.I won't go into too much of the storyline so as not to spoil it for the few who may not have seen the movie, but it essentially dovetails off the end of Man of Steel in which Metropolis was destroyed in the climactic fight between Superman and Zod. We see that battle from the perspective of Bruce Wayne who is trying to get to Wayne Financial to get his employees out of the building. This sets up his distrust of Superman, and then there is an 18-month time jump and Batman is becoming more violent which gets him on Superman's radar, and with Lex orchestrating things in the background, the two end up in battle, until they have to team up.The movie gets ragged on a lot, undeservedly so, in my opinion. It is clearly setting up a larger story and has to be seen as a piece in a multi-movie arc. While I do think it would have been better for DC to follow the Marvel format of setting up the characters in individual movies before bringing them together, so there would not have been so many logic jumps as this movie took, the plot does make sense (especially after you see it a couple of times), and the darker tone that Snyder used for the movie (really all the movies in his "Snyderverse" worked well. And, of course, when Joss Whedon attempted to shoehorn his brand of humor that worked in the MCU into the DCEU, it totally fell flat and was universally rejected.For those who get the blu-ray set, there are two blu-ray discs. One with the theatrical cut of the movie and the bonus features, and one with the Ultimate Edition of the movie that adds about 30 additional minutes to the run time. Some of the scenes are kind of useless, but others really flesh out how much Lex had put the events of the movie into motion. The extras included several behind-the-scenes and making-of features, character profiles for Wonder Woman and Batman, and shorter ones on the characters of Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg. All, in all, there is about two hours' worth of extras, so those who like watching the bonus material will be satisfied.Also of note, there is a 4k version of the Ultimate Edition of the movie that does not include the theatrical version or any of the blu-ray extras, so even if you double-dip for that one, you probably want to hold on to this version unless you are only interested in the movie and just want the Ultimate Edition of the movie. The 4k version just has the movie itself and a commentary track that Snyder made just for the 4k restoration as the only extra. In his commentary, he does spoil his version of Justice League (identifying Martian Manhunter, for example) and generally discusses his vision for where the movies would have gone had he stayed on. The movie looks and sounds great (especially the restored IMAX scenes) in 4k UHD, and is, in my opinion, worth the double-dip.Overall, the movie is very good. Dark, but good, and it makes a lot of sense. I do think it could have used a better setup through a stand-alone Batman movie first to establish this version of Batman, and what turned him into the more jaded version of the character. I also think this movie would have benefitted from DC releasing the stand-alone Wonder Woman movie first to set her backstory. However, I do think that her extended cameo in this movie worked and was one of the reasons that the Wonder Woman movie did so well at the box office because viewers liked the taste of the character in this movie. But, despite the reputation it has as a bad movie, it is not. Affleck did a great job as an older, more jaded Batman, and I liked the idea of Batman trying to figure out how to stop an unstoppable alien. By now, however, the movie has been out long enough that people have their opinion of it. If you have not seen it, I would definitely give it a chance because it is not nearly as bad as some would have you believe.
