Batman v Superman: UE (2016)
** Ben Affleck - I really liked your Batman and I really hope you suit up again one day. **
The film that should have been theatrically released.
BvS:UE was a very good film when seen in the full 183-minute runtime. The sequences that were cut to accommodate the masses were the wrong scenes and make the theatrical film almost entirely incoherent.
The theatrical film goes on to be heavily criticized for dark tone and conflict resolution issues, however had we received the FULL film the first time, those comments would have been less severe. I am not about to preach about the differences. See the FULL 183-minute movie, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Ultimate Edition, for yourself. The Ultimate Edition was/is not too long. -- Remember, 3 years later, we all sat through Avengers: Endgame, several times. --
I would like to say this: The character music for Mr. Lex Luthor was great. His music was very circus-like, playing into the mischievous, string pulling. Luthor’s main characteristic of needing to be in control which motivated him, drove him, and vitalized his actions are made loud and clear through music. Luthor was the puppet-master and the rest were his puppets.
Long live Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition.
