![]() Ben Affleck makes for a formidable new Batman, Gal Gadot is a promising Wonder Woman, and Jesse Eisenberg's queasy Lex Luthor steals many scenes. Here, some of the weaknesses are still apparent, but Snyder's extended film proves entertaining and largely dramatically satisfying, with strong production values and good pacing. Leaving was probably for the best, because this "Ultimate Edition," with its 30 minutes of additional footage, certainly seems the best way to experience the film. Not because the film is bad, but because I happened upon a showing in the tiniest theater where the speakers crackled, the projector bulb was dim, and several babies were already screaming. I tried to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in theaters, but left after 15 minutes. Most were critical of the grim tone, muddled plot and nonstop mayhem, and director Zack Snyder almost immediately promised an extended cut that would clarify some of the narrative's finer points. This clash of comic-book titans cleaned up at the box office but earned some harsh reviews. ![]() ![]() Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution.
