Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

The extended cut is definitely the way to watch this movie. That being said, I'm going to explain to everyone the highly criticized "Martha" scene.

The reason Batman ultimately stopped short of killing Superman had nothing to do with both mothers having the same name. While Clark saying that name caught him off guard, once Lois explained it's his mother's name, Bruce realized in that moment that Superman was as human as anyone else. Remember, right before"Martha", Batman said he probably isn't even human. But by having a mother, Bruce realized Clark was as human as anyone else, since all humans have a mother. That's what that scene is all about.

The ultimate edition is actually really good, the theatrical cut isnt that good

If you are lazy to read the entire review, just read this: 31 minutes of footage makes a HUGE difference in the film/storyline.

To be honest, I was not so impressed when I saw the first cut (2h32m) as I got the impression that the story was rushed and confused... but then I watched the extended version and it all made sense, the added details matter a lot!

If you like me thought that this filme was not good, I say this to you: give it a try, but watch the extended one. If possible, watch it in IMAX and I'm sure your experience will be different!

One more thing... if you recently watched the Snyder Cut, BvS will make even more sense now - trust me.

Rating 8/10 for the extended version (6/10 for the 2h32m cut).

The first Batman v Superman movie I saw was the extended cut and it was incredible. I loved this film. The story was good. Loved all the dc Easter eggs in the film. The only thing that I didn't like was Jesse eisenberg as lex luthor. He is a great actor but him as lex luthor just didn't work. Other than that I highly recommend watching the extended cut other than the regular version.

Great improvement over the lukewarm PG-13 theatrical version.

If the film studio had had more courage, who knows in which directions this story would have continued.

The Ultimate Edition is certainly a superior product in all segments compared to the theatrical version. The gaps in the story are filled, and the characters have more depth.

In PG-13 films the action is lukewarm, bloodless, and that degrades the impression of the whole film. The film received intensity, atmosphere and worthy action in its R-rated version. A lot of films failed due to the short-sightedness of producers and film studios.

The cast, with the exception of Jesse Eisenberg, is excellent. Yes, I didn't like Lex Luthor, but Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman are great. Henry Cavill seems to have stepped down from the pages of comics and is certainly a great choice for this role.

In this version his character is more complete and gains in depth. Ben Affleck excellently portrayed this iconic figure. His Batman is dark, furious and brutal. The only miss is Lex Luthor, but maybe his character would improve in the sequels that would follow.

Apart from the improved story, the action is better, more brutal and there are no restrictions set by the PG-13 standard.

The casting is really great, although Lex Luthor is a complete failure, but like I said, maybe his character would have evolved further had we been able to see how the story unfolded later. The cinematography is excellent, and the costume design itself did a great job.

This version of the film would definitely have been better accepted, if only the film studio had a little more courage. The action scenes are superbly directed.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition is certainly a big improvement over the theatrical version.
