Batman v Superman - Pretty Good

I took my son to see Batman v Superman yesterday, and it was good. Too long, but good. Don't know what the criticisms are about. That monster in the end was not necessary. Maybe that's it. But then who would kill Superman? Of course, Superman's not dead. They gave us that hint at the end, but we didn't need it. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, they won't die. Ever.

It looked like they've got an Asian Flash. Talk about changing ethnicities again. I thought the guy on the TV show made a good Flash. I guess the TV show actors won't translate to the big screen. Too bad. As for Wonder Woman, that actress looked right for the part. Just as Henry Cavill is the best ever Superman. I didn't mind Ben Affleck as Batman, but I thought Ben was good as Daredevil, too. Maybe perfect as DD. Just as Cavill is perfect as Supes.

Speaking of Daredevil, I really don't like Charlie Cox as Daredevil on the TV show. He's too shrimpy. Really, too small of a guy. Affleck is 6' 3" and just right as Daredevil, but whatever. Affleck is too big of a movie star to ever be in a TV show. Doesn't mean they couldn't find a bigger guy to play the role than Cox. Looking at Cox, well, he just doesn't look tough. I know Dustin Clare is about the same height as Cox, and I gush about how Clare would be just right for Trent Smith. But Clare at least looks tough. Cox doesn't.

But the storyline in Batman v Superman was a good story line. And even though it didn't need the last half hour fighting the monster, it didn't ruin the movie. I look forward to more Superman movies. I really think they should milk the Cavill Superman to the limit. He's the best. No one's better. I want to see more Cavill Superman movies. ASAP. I don't care about the Justice League. Never cared about those characters, except I like the Flash. But an Asian Flash? Whatever.
