Batman v Superman:Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition) (BD)

The extended cut version is a far superior movie over the theatrical version we all saw in the theaters. THIS one makes more sense and the story line flows much better. Excellent special features!

One of my favorite comic book movies, I really could never understand all the negativity surrounding this film. I love Snyder's vision, and the film itself is just awesome (okay, the Martha thing was a little forced). Ben Affleck's Batman is so badass in this film. I think one day this film will be appreciated like Blade Runner is today (which took years to get it's props).I love nearly everything about this movie. I can't help but recommend it.

This may be the worst superhero movie of all time. Ben Affleck’s Batman is an awful caricature of Frank Miller’s dark, uber-brooding, ultra intense Batman. And since when does Batman drink (getting wasted and being possibly the most disciplined human on the planet do not go hand in hand), kill, and use guns?!?! A core aspect of the Batman character is his abhorrence of guns and murder b/c of what happened to his parents. His vow not to use firearms and not to kill is as strong if not stronger than his vow to be Batman and protect the innocent. As Batman has said many times “It’s what separates us from them (villains).” Amy Adams was an uninspired Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor was a cheap imitation of Heath Ledgar’s unhinged Joker. The soundtrack sounds like it was pilfered from some cheesey B movie. Oh, and Doomsday gets the Venom Spider Man 3 treatment and is crammed in at the end with very little role to play other than a drawn out, poorly shot, strangely lit action sequence. And the infamous “Martha” scene; I’m not even going there. Only bright star was Wonder Woman, but my goodness, how do you screw up a Batman movie this bad?? This made Green Lantern with Ryan Reynolds look like Oscar caliber. It’s worse that Zack Snyder has defended this abomination instead of just manning up and saying “My bad. Took some risks that didn’t work out.” Avoid this movie. As a life long Batman fan, this representation of the character hurts my soul

There's a lot to like about this film. I know there was a lot of initial skepticism about Ben Affleck's portrayal of Batman. Let me assuage those fears; the guy kills it. He's got the right demeanor, he plays the mask of the bumbling billionaire well, and the physically imposing guy in the batsuit who wins at all costs even better. Henry Cavil continues to crush it as Superman. Gal Gadot is a revelation as Wonder Woman. There's a degree of realism she brings to her action roles because she is a legitimate bad ass, having served in the IDF and knowing her way around weapons and hand to hand combat in a way few other female stars do. The supporting cast also is amazing from Jeremy Irons to Amy Adams to Diane Lane. You may or may not like Jesse Eisenberg's take on Lex Luthor, but I didn't find it nearly as distracting as some.No, the issue here is that a great cast unfortunately does not make a great film. The script unfortunately plays like an attempt at mixing The Death of Superman with The Dark Knight Returns and its an epic fail. If I hadn't been reading comics for the past three decades maybe I'd be gloriously ignorant of this, and love the film, but that's not the case. TDKR is one of the three best graphic novels of all time, and my personal favorite. It redefined what the genre could be, and to me is one of my favorite novels of all time (not comics; novels). One day maybe we'll get a true telling of that tale akin to the way Watchmen and Sin City were done. This instead takes select elements from that tale and weaves them into another story, even going so far as to steal some of the dialog. The problem is that without the back story of TDKR its hollow, and lacking depth. When Batman and Superman fight in TDKR its been building up for decades. Its a clash of ideology, and showcases the marked differences between an all powerful being who's in effect become a stooge and a mere mortal, older and more human than ever before who still refuses to compromise his code. Its really deep, powerful stuff, and what we get in this film just lacks 95% of that.I applaud the lack of an origin story for the new Batman (I think we all know his parents were murdered and he took it as his personal mission to end crime using his immense wealth, intelligence, and physical prowess). Its refreshing to see an older Batman, seasoned, wizened, and less idealistic. However there's just too much Zack Snyder in this to make it fully palatable. Too much put into the giant fight scene at the end, full of explosions, and 360 degree camera pans. I've really liked some of his earlier work, but he's become formulaic and its now like watching the Michael Bay of the comic genre. Thus far its seems Sucker Punch was his best effort (I sincerely hope you prove me wrong Zack).All in, there are worse ways to spend the time it takes to watch this film. Like I said, its not bad; its just not great, and it could have been so much more.

I wish they would've shown this version in the theater. I would've liked it so much better. I bought this only because I heard that the scenes they put in this movie tell a better story. The one in the movie released did NOT do it justice. Many of the scenes explain certain reasons why events happened the way they did. This was so enjoyable to watch. My son hates Superman, but I like him. He didn't like the Man of Steel. But, he liked this movie. He feels the same as I do that with this new version, it made so much sense. I highly recommend this. I only hope this is NOT the new trend of movie releases. Studios should let the Director release the movie as intended and NOT with some new version just because the Studios didn't let them release what they wanted.

I don't agree with the movie critics at all on this movie. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. I felt that Ben Affleck's Batman by far was the best part of the movie. I was pleasantly surprised he did a great job portraying Batman. Jeremy Irons was a perfect Alfred. I wish they would have had a little more screen time for Wonder Woman. I do agree Jesse Eisenburg's portrayal of Lex Luther was just not that good and actually a little irritating. I also feel that the they dropped the ball on Doomsday. The character looked ridiculous. I would have had him a little more daunting like they do in the comic books. The idea of him being a completely mindless pawn of Lex Luthor was terrible. But overall the superhero team of the Ben Affleck Batman, Henry Cavill Superman and Gal Gadot Wonder Woman was spot on. All three do a great job playing those iconic characters.

Batman v Superman. Es ist einfach Geschmackssache. Mir persönlih gefällt der Film aufgrund der düsteren Atmosphäre. Ich kamm es aber auch absolut verstehen wenn man diesen Film nicht mag. Zu unterschiedlich ist die DC Art von dem Marvel Filmen (ich mag beides).Klar sollte dennoch sein. Die Ultimate Edition ist der Kinofassung Qualitativ haushoch überlegen. Es ist im nachhinein(wenn man die Ultimate gesehen hat) unbegreiflih wie die Kinofassung veröffentlicht werden konnte. Dort fehlen sämtliche Handlungsinformationen die essentiel sind um der Handlung und den Charaktermotiven folgen zu können. Natürlich wird die Lächerlichkeit des "Martha Moments" nicht geschwächt.Wer einen düsteren "Superhelden" Film mit Hang zum extremen Eskapismus sehen will kann B vS echt mal ausprobieren (vielleicht an nem Regentag) und sich die ca 180 gönnen. Ich garantiere allerdings für nichts.

Fantastic film. As much as i really enjoyed the theatrical cut ( saw it twice in the cinema ), the Ultimate Cut is vastly superior. It's a shame this version wasnt released in theatres, even though it has a run time of 3hrs 2mins for me it flowed better and the time flew by. Highly recommended 9.5/10

Had this 3D Ultimate Edition on pre order and unfortunately went away to work for 5 weeks just before release. Imagine my disappointment at eventually getting to sit down and watch it in 3D last night and not being able to spot ANY of the extra 30minutes of footage. A quick check of the discs reveals that the extended version is in 2D on the third disc. A very, very small line on the back cover confirms this but you have to go looking for it. I'm a huge Batman fan and actually quite enjoyed the movie but do feel rather cheeted at not getting what I thought I was paying for. Poor show Warner. Maybe Amazon could put a note against the title so people aren't further misled.

The movie makes more sense imo with the extra half hour, a flawed ambitious movie

Disappointing that only the Theatrical Version is in 3D, not the Ultimate Edition.

If you are a Superman fan you must watch this. The plot was a bit muddled at the start but it soon got going the "new" take on Lex Luthor as a super villain was excellent. I was a bit disappointed that there was not more origin stuff on Wonder Woman since she has not been in any films as a major character lately. I bought the 3D version and the special effects were stunning, especially later on.

Great film and much better than I was expecting. Only downside was the Ultimate Edition not being in 3D - bit naughty as on the cover I received there was a large 3D right next to the Ultimate Edition wording. watched the 3D theatrical cut tonight which was good but the wife won't sit through another 3 hours so i'll have to wait on the 2D biggie!

Batman kills people in this, with batwing mounted machine guns. if you make Superman grim and gritty then you have to make Batman a psycopathic murderer. Didnt they realise they were making a crappy film?

Had to watch each format to make sense. Got better each time, but sound inaudible for most of the film. Lex Luthor more of a Riddler character than the guy portrayed in the comics.Batman older and cynical.Could of done with a proper Superman sequel to develop other charactors, but seems DC are in a rush to catch up with Marvel by introducing Justice League in next film.3D quality amazing

3D bluray - it's not that clear that the 3D version is not extended!The extended version on a separate disk is 2d only......why would anyone knowingly pay the extra premium for this 3D version, when youre likely to only watch the improved extended version!!!

Excellent film and very good quality and very well made thanks

The extended version Blu Ray makes much more sense than the Theatrical cut shown in cinemas.Sadly the 3D version is not the Ultimate Edition, so 1 star lost there DC.

I know a lot of people and critics panned this film but when I watched the extended cut I enjoyed it a lot more than I did in the cinema if you are a fan of batman or superman or even wonderwoman then this is a film for you

Was ok and better than I thought it was going to be just to long a movie. please DC you do fantastic animation movie can you do you main movies more like them.

The additional footage helped round out the film in some places and helped undo some of the poor editing of the theatrical cut, still doesn't excuse the lame parental name link as so many other people have commented but I certainly enjoyed it better the 2nd time around at home on the extended version but still could have been so much more and overall somewhat feels like a missed opportunity.
