I fully Agree with your Thoughts. I'm Really Surprised that BvS Touched your Heart Emotionally. This Movie is also My Favorite Beside Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, Godzilla King of the Monsters and King Kong 2005. I'm also Looking forward to Zack Snyder's Cut of Justice League Called "Justice League: Director's Cut" and I hope you are. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

[@ZandeKongo]

"Martha will not die tonight". That really got me.

[@batman4452]

In my opinion when CLark says Martha... Bruce sees not a friend, or an Allie (like you said), but actually sees himself, as that 8 year old boy crying for his mom... Bruce realizes that he's actually about to murder himself.... Hence the insane looking around he does... I think I'm that instant, Bruce was 8 years old again.... That's what I saw atleast.. Great review though, nice to see someone who loved this at much as I did.

[@Mackster248]

+Tom Rice Well said! I can understand why some may not have liked this scene, but I thought it was very powerful. In Bruce's POV, he's always seen Kal as a powerful alien, and a powerful alien only. That's the main theme within Snyder's take on Superman, which is that the world has an issue with humanizing him. But what MoS cemented was that Kal is a human first, then Kryptonian second. Bruce was filled with so much hatred, that he was blinded. We all know Batman is one of the smartest comic book characters out there, yet his hatred for Kal blinded him to an extent that he failed to realize he got played by Luthor. The second Lois came by Kal's side protecting him, along with Kal mentioning his mother's name, the realization came instantly to Bruce. It wasn't "omg our mothers have the same name!", but more so that in that instant and for the first time, Bruce actually humanized Kal. Not only did he realize he has a mother that he loves, but that there's also a girl that loves him enough to protect him. Now, Snyder could have spent 2-5 mins with some exposition explaining this with Bats and Supes talking, but instead you can clearly see it in Bruce's facial expression what he has just realized. He realized that he got played by Luthor, and he realized that everyone in the world has their "Martha", even Superman. And that's what I love most about Snyder's BvS, it's by no means perfect and even that "Martha" scene could have been done better, but Snyder tackles a lot of things that may feel jumbled and out of place, but if one takes a little time to analyze certain scenes, maybe the movie gets better for you.

[@d1want34]

+Tom Rice that was my thought as well

[@MemrYou]

mm

[@audreynaputri2438]

+Tom Rice I thought the same thing - I have more to add though, at that moment Bruce is also forced to relive that very traumatic experience as the murderer, especially with the straight parallels of Lois throwing herself in front of the weapon (a la what Martha did), and with Clark, on the verge of death, is only thinking of someone he loved - exactly the same as what Thomas Wayne did, by saying the same thing Thomas did: "Martha". It's a straight parallel. I can't understand why people didn't realize that, but I wasn't exactly satisfied with the execution of the scene either.

[@batman4452]

+Audreyna Putri Exactly, I forgot to put that.. not only is he about to murder himself... but he's actually become the things he's sworn to fight... the thing that ruined his world... I too can understand why the scene is getting trashed... it's very easy to say "MARTHA" their mothers have the same name???? That stopped their fight? HAHAHAHAH... most likely haters, or Marvel fanboys... But if you consider how deep the Martha situation is in the context of the film... and how deep it is for Bruce Wayne in particular...you would realize how amazing it is... I mean he is one of the richest men in the world, yet he chooses to dress like a Bat, fighting crime, because of his parents Thomas, and MARTHA being murdered in front of him, he's never lived a happy day in a his life since that moment... and now he's foolishly about to kill an "alien" because he thinks it could be the final, and only thing he ever did that matters... to then REALIZE that Superman is actually isn't an alien (seconds before murdering him)...but actually he's the same as him... They can hate all they want, it's amazing to me, and a perfect way to earn their "brotherly respect" from the comics. Also, the MARTHA moment, ONLY stops Bruce.... The only thing Superman took away from the Martha situation is "this psycho doesn't wanna kill me anymore... he wants to earn my respect? He is a good guy" Which i love.

"People hate what they don't understand." Martha Kent

[@WilliamGeesdorf]

+William bab Instead of making excuses, you could learn to accept differing opinions.

[@willvbab8641]

+WilliamGeesdorf I never said I didn't accept different opinions. Also, this isn't an excuse, it is a fact. Of course the movie is not perfect. And I completely understand why people would dislike it. But there are parts in the movie that people laughed at and that some readers didn't. The Martha scene between B and S, for example, was ridiculous for those who did not know about this fact (I agree that the importance of the name was not well presented). The movie was too broad, unfortunately, and only those who have a "higher" knowledge of the characters or the story behind the movie, can have a better understanding and apreciation from this artwork. Or I could be wrong (Yes, I agree that they should have made it more understandable for those who are not familiar with this universe). Not looking for an argument here buddy but that is what I meant by using Martha Kent's quote What is done is done, and who knows, maybe people will appreciate the next movies to come a little more now that WB and Zach know what the mass population dislike about this movie. Please feel free to answer. Cheers

When all they did was put the characters in todays world, what they're doing with them is giving them character arcs. batman and superman both have problems but they eventually help each other out to become what fans want them to be.

[@johnlindsay7301]

Thank you for articulating the brilliance of this movie. I think what gets me most about this film is how Superman saves Batman by pleading for someone else’s life with what should be his dying breath. He’s about to be killed and he doesn’t plead for his own life, he pleads for Martha, his mother. And Batman sees this and it completely changes his perspective on not only who this man before him is, but also with who he himself is. It is Superman’s value in human life that wakes Batman up. With all that was going on by this point of the movie it is so complex but it all is there. It is one of the most amazing moments in all of film. The thought of it brings me to tears. The fact that Superman’s mothers name was also Martha was a bit of a dog whistle for Batman to help him wake up out of his blind rage. Pure brilliance.

[@Goodgodbhanu]

The moment Batman realises that Superman's mother name is Martha he finally realises that Superman is a human at the end of the day. Superman is begging Batman to help save his mother which shows that any person who cares so much about his mother cannot be a threat to humanity. That was the most pivotal element of the movie.

[@MrGlov3r]

+The Rising Heroes Project my mindset behind the reason bruce stops when he hears martha was that that name is the emotional trigger for him and that makes him realize, hey if this guy has a mother like me, that he is begging me to save, and not begging me to let him live, then maybe he isn't so different. maybe he is a good guy, or at least can be a good guy. i LOVED your mindset behind it. i didn't even think of it that way but it makes so much sense. i feel like both of our mindsets, even combined together. make that moment so much more powerful.

[@samirrashid]

+The Rising Heroes Project Wow man that was truly Brilliant. This movie is probably the most important movie in my life right now, specifically because of the 'Martha' scene. That scene will continue to give me tears every time I watch it. I couldn't have said it better. Thanks a lot. This movie is made with Heart, truly.

[@retrograveproductions4175]

+The Rising Heroes Project Thank you for posting this video. I felt I was in the few that actually understood the themes of this film especially the two particular things. The bat vortex where Young Bruce is lifted is symbolism. Even, Bruce's narration says they brought him into the light. It is not more a dream sequence but Bruce's own retelling of his experience. HIS experience of what happened of him coming out of the darkness. The other issue is of Superman. I see many say Superman is a dick. He is joyless. This is not "My Superman". He is supposed to be a beacon of hope. Yes, and he STILL is in this film. However, it shows Clark's/Kal-El's humanity. This film paints Superman as a God Messiah figure, yet, it also shows Superman does hurt. His feelings are hurt. The world does not want his help. That montage scene of Superman saving lives and figures questioning whether it is right for Superman to step in. Also, it shows that Superman embraces his alien roots. I read an article about a Muslim aligning with the characterization of Superman in this as an outsider. He is American but yet he is not. Finally the attack at the Senate, Superman understands that "You know what, if you do not want me, I will not interfere." He obeys Humanity's wishes until he is world is threatened. That being Lois and his mother. You choked me up when talking about our mothers. "Martha does not die tonight" is a KEY point of dialogue from Batman. Their grievances are gone. It pains me to see how people are sharing memes of this moment without realising the impact of this. Thank you for making this video again and more importantly understanding the themes presented in this film.

[@joshcoshbagosh3577]

You gave a fantastic explanation as to why this movie truly is quite beautiful. People just have to think about it more. That's the biggest problem. People just didn't understand this movie.

[@EclipseHedgehog]

+Michael G t first he was afraid because he’s thinking: oh oh, how much does Superman know? And then Lois says Martha is Clark’s mother. And in that moment Bruce had his realization: Clark is human. he's just like me! and he'll become the very thing i fear if he loses those anchors. just like i have...what have i become?I’ve heard critiques that Bruce’s sudden turnaround makes no sense. But it’s really that the movie doesn’t bother to hold our hands through Bruce’s reasoning. On the second, more subconscious level: this is where Superman turns into Clark, where the god turns into a man with motivations as strong and good as Bruce’s own.

[@JMDeadpool]

Tommy Cipriani They reshot many scenes, added new ones just to make it lighter and funnier. And it very much shows which scenes are Whedon's. They changed the ending, cut Luthor, Deathstroke and Iris. The score is at best mediocre, while MoS and BvS had brilliant ones. Two post-credit scenes were added, even though Snyder hates the idea of it. If you watch JL mainly as a comic fan, those changes are not unwatchable, I guess. But when you just want to get another Zack Snyder film, and DC just makes for an amazing combination... then JL becomes much worse than MCU.. it becomes a mess created only by wanting to get more money out of it.

[@eggsbenedictcucumberbatch4336]

@Nr1SupermanFan 1. They didn't reshoot many scenes, the cast confirmed they only had 2-3weeks of reshoots and these are reshoots that Zack himself wanted. 2. *Spoiler***Spoiler***Spoiler* Lex and Deathstroke are in the movie, People who have seen it said so. 3. People who have seen the movie even Snyder haters have said it's a Zack Snyder film through and through, there's some Joss Whedon in the dialogue but even before the tragedy Zack specifically brought Joss in to work on the dialogue because he thought Joss dialogue was good 4. I can assure you Zack was the one who wanted the post credit scenes and shot the post credit scenes, you'll understand when you watch the movie.

The Martha scene is simple, it shows flashbacks to his parents getting killed because the moment he realises their mothers have the same name he also realises that superman has a family. This then puts him in the position of his parents killer. He starts to question whether he can take superman away from his family just like his family was taken from him. You can also see this because he says " Martha will not die tonight". Meaning that he could not save his mother but he has the chance to save Claris mother, it's a sense of closure for batman. This scene has so much meaning and it just goes over everyone's heads.

[@BabyYodie]

:) it’s a genius work of art. A film that feels as if it were an Ancient Greek tragedy taking place on our silver screens. The age old tale of God versus Man, leading to the realization that life is more than our differences in power or righteousness. In the end, we all have imperfections, but there exists common ground through which we can share our pain with others and look past imperfection.

[@alk4262]

Spoiler comment *Many people say that the "Martha" thing isn't good but please hear me out. You have to look at it from Bruce Wayne traumatized mind. Nolan trilogy put the spotlight on Thomas Wayne and his influence on Bruce. This new storyline puts Martha as the beloved of the family. Thomas Wayne's last word: "Martha", Bruce visiting his parents tomb but only starring at his mothers(convenience but also showing us the love for his mother). Honestly, every man and boy around me have so much love for their mother that this scene almost made them cry. It's a subtlety but a strong one that throws batman to the trigger of his problems, the core of his journey. He then realizes through this really personal part of his life that Superman Clark Kent is just like him, a son about to lose his mother. He also realizes how far he is from the noble fight, how he was manipulated, how his emotions blinded him. I was personally raised in a tradition where mothers are really dear to everyone and I found it really moving and powerful. In my native country, people don't say "please" we say "may God bless your parents". A friend of mine once told me: "I would die right now to let my mother live one more minute". It's not childish, it's not stupid especially when you understand how dear it is to the character.

Brett's comments about this moive was so powerful, and I think he is someone who definitely gets the movie on the type of deep level that it was meant to have. When you see superman save the girl, and see the montage of him saving people, I looked over at my girlfriend, and she was in tears. It was so beautiful. This moment, and also the one where superman talks to his dad, got me crying. He asked his dad if the nightmares ever stopped. And he answered when he met his wife. This touched me on a personal level. Also when superman briefly talks to lois, and then flys off saying no one can stay good in this world, I was also caught off guard emotionally. I LOVED this film, and it's so refreshing to have something that has very deep meaning to it, and that is very reflective on our global state.

[@kledmohd4230]

+Raymond Ross incidently both the characters mother's name was Martha so it seems to be done intentionally to reflect a moment of familiarity, rather than go from what common sense dictates, and if that was the case we wouldn't be having super heroes in the first place coz that defies common sense. It's really amazing sometimes how ppl goes to technical overriding the whole narrative or at least the purpose of it. Comic is indeed entertainment that defies logic and common sense but prints of our imaginations and fantasy. The narrative is not always meant to go by the books. The idea of Batman beating up so many ppl and entering a fortress is ridiculous, even the world's best fighter would fail, but we swallow it wholeheartedly anyways coz it's entertaining and captures our imagination, however other times like these we are stuck up as to why real life law didn't apply.

[@KINGKROSBYSKINGDOM]

+k-led Mohd yeah your right tell me more

[@kledmohd4230]

Raymond Ross i see the valid arguments behind it that a person would most probably say my mom rather than her name, and im sure the numerous writers of the script were from planet earth and not aliens and notice just like us the most probable appeal from a person in need to save his mother as saying my mom is in danger rather than martha is in danger, however it seems apparent they did it intentionally to utilize a coincidence of both characters in the comic and raise a point of familiarity between the two and a change of perspective by batman who would think superman is just like him in a more convincing way. Saying My mother would've worked too, but it would seem using Martha a good angle to tap and lead to these many interpretations that we have today, with one perspective in the video above. Then u could go by another interpretation which came to my mind during seeing the movie, that batman was not able to save his mother Martha when he was small but had a chance to save superman's mother so it would be like an act similar to saving to saving his own mother. Going by sheer logic and rating comic publications by such scrutiny would lead all the comics to be panned, much more ridiculous things have happened in print than this one moment in the movie and those comics have received wide acclaim. It is so clear that this deliberation was not coz writers were dumb, the same writers who co wrote the dark knight trilogy but wanted to be creative and be multi dimensional rather than straight forward, however its sad many ppl will never see the purpose and beauty behind this altered dialog and will just be bent on ridiculing the intellect of the writers, i remember during my poetry classes, there were words misspelled just to create a rhyme and this was poetic freedom that poets had, if those poems were read by these same audience would've said the poet doesn't know english.

I think a good way to go into BvS is with this statement in mind: "This isn't Batman anymore and this isn't Superman yet"

[@Kasterborous1963]

Thank you so much for making this video. This is 100% how I feel about this movie and I have been desperately trying to explain to people how perfect it was, but almost everyone I know hates it. Now I can just show my friends this video because you explain it perfectly. I've been struggling everyday to explain it to my friends, but I'm terrible with words and expressing how I feel. Once again, thank you for making this video.

[@davegrol6825]

+Travis Poirier Love seeing a deadpool fan who loves BvS! Let's end this Marvel v DC competition. We can like both Marvel and DC! Just tell your friend that the real CBM fans are those who like a good movie, not blindly follow one company or the other. simple as that. Great to see a marvel fan standing up for a good DC movie! #Truefan Represent Brother!

[@Kasterborous1963]

dave grol I love both Marvel and DC. I've watched every Marvel show and movie ever made. I'm still catching up with DC. Overall though, I think the DCEU is starting off better than the MCU. And the MCU isn't as impressive as people make it out to be. Some of their movies are amazing, but most are just mediocre. Where both DCEU movies were different and amazing in their own way.

[@omieqqea]

[@nicholasbintner4677]

I love this movie, and this being your response after only seeing it once is awesome. I hated it when I first saw it. You made me cry dude. Batman/Superman mean so much to people, its so weird that their diehard fans couldn't deal with watching them go through hardships

[@queens2nd2none]

It's been about 2 years since I've cried... You just brought about the end of that streak. Thank you.

Nailed it. This is exactly what I've been saying since day 1. Shame so many don't seem to understand all this.

[@DylanMadd]

You're not alone. If the 2000 comments already posted haven't said it already, being a hero doesn't mean we don't fall. And being alone for a while doesn't mean it'll last forever. This was an amazing movie and thanks for sharing.

[@andressernaisaacs5558]

After watching (and unreasonably still looking for) multiple BvS reviews, for more than a year, I have finally found home. This is a film, which reactions have really made me angry, dissapointed and now, heart-opened, because it reminds me of the amount of sheep audience that sits in the theatre, waiting only for more comfortable stories that rise emotions but do not challenge them. Now, it also reminds me that a guy like Zach Snyder (within his own tragedy), was able to keep this gigantic project alive with the spirit of narrating life differently, and making risks with dealing with emotions the way no one has done before on a superhero story (This clearly started with man of steel). I don´t know which superhero film can even handle the level of complexity that this film universe deals with, and that is why i believe it is so rejected... people reject what they don´t understand, we have known that for a very long time. Thank you Brett for sharing what millions of viewers have experienced. You are not alone.

[@Jewkester]

Beautiful. I couldn't have said it better myself.

I like when the two bums are fighting and Batman tells the black guy a fighting tip and then he comes back and wins the fight. Affleck is so cool as Wayne

[@SteveBrant55]

This is a very emotion-filled response from a filmmaker to "Batman v Superman". The movie touched him in ways that go beyond style or technique to how the characters related to each other and changed as a result of those relationships. If you've seen the film and haven't liked it, this man's perspective may help you see what you might see in a second viewing. If you already like the film, this may help you like it even more. I think his take on the film is brilliant!!!

[@d1want34]

+Steven Brant i got the same emotional feeling similar to him after the 2nd viewing. i wasnt satisfied in my 1st visit to the theatre because i knew there is something inside this movie that snyder is trying to tell..

[@NikhilMaurya10]

This movie is like an addiction, I watch it every now and then to feel those emotions again and again, but definitely some of his views are heart touching.

The Batman origin opening is really beautiful, who cares that some people don't want to see the origin again.

[@shehrlock5780]

How did I miss this! The part before where you said spoilers ahead was the best and fresh explanation of the theme BvS was about. ❤

[@MetamorfotikaChannelMex]

Maaaan, I cried with you, I totally resonated with your words and feelings with this movie, and this movie is totally deep, dramatic and teaches you something. I remember that one of the things as a little girl that impacted me was about the Batman Returns movie, had a lot of dramatic moments. Catwoman's fell down, the penguin's dramatic death, jeeez gives me the chills. This movie has brought that back since Batman returns for me. My Batman is back definitely, and I'm starting to love Superman. I was always a #TeamBatman girl, but hey I can be #TeamSuperman also, and I can't wait to feel #TeamWonderWoman :)

[@bwbh117]

It's amazing when a kind-hearted person gives his/her perspective on things. It makes me hopeful and reminds me that all of us on this planet are actually family. It's something we forget or choose not to see. But we're all relatives. And just by simply knowing that, we're able to allow ourselves to feel the obligation to help lift each other up. We have to learn to acknowledge it.

[@Shakpjohn7]

This has literally made my day. The whole point to Superheroes is to inspire us to be better people and make this world a better place. "Why do we fall...so we can learn to pick ourselves up again!"

[@williamblakeanphazethe1st831]

THANK YOU DUDE, CONGRATS, TRUTH, TRUTH, TRUTH, You're not alone, that film was too deep for the audience, ahead of its time, it meant people looking at where they placed their ideals, is it about winning in itself? nope its about true progress in winning hearts and working together to change things. You helped to remind me what's most important, regarding such issues, I support you fully in your endeavors you speak a lot of sense, nothing is ever light and fluffy, there is also a challenge we have to rise to, the path of least resistance isn't always the right one, I think this film demonstrates this fact, if it was just simply good vs bad that would be horrible and predictable film, so I'm with you on this one stay strong dude!!!

[@victor6207-d6h]

That was the most emotional review I have ever seen. Now I must say I absolutely loved this movie through and through. I had already felt with great confidence being a big fan of Zack Snyder's work. 300 is on my top 10 movies of all time, as well is now Batman v Superman. I've so far seen this movie 3 times at the theater. The only thing that changes is that I grow to love this movie more and more as did my kids and remarkably my wife, who I have to say, sees movies in such a unique way it's a joy to now and then share that loved it moment. She specifically made the point of acknowledging how much more she enjoyed the movie the second time, which many other critics also experienced. I would like to say thank you for bringing out even more emotional energy to this story. My eyes swelled up when I first saw Batman make the connection that he and his mother have the same name and now hearing you remind me that same truth. That you and I have something in common with our fellow brothers and sisters. In whatever language we speak we all translate it to Mom. That was deep and I'm glad you spoke with vulnerability. It's refreshing in this day and age with all the hate on social media (in general)and overly spiteful criticism of a different approach on iconic characters. Thank you for inspiring me today. And keep speaking, you have a gift.

[@josue.saldivar]

Four years ago, this video opened my eyes to the deeper meanings of bvs. Now that Snyder’s has the opportunity to reclaim justice league, I had to rewatch this video.

[@prettyflyforafilipin]

So thank you for this video. I probably would’ve dismissed this video like everyone else back then.

[@21stcenturyhiphop]

I like that people are fighting back for the right to like what they like. There has been an unprecedented bully pulpit about this film. The nerd establishment feels they can tell us what to like and not like, and we're not tolerating it.

[@wildevil]

This is the best review I've ever watched so far. This is why DC is catered to more mature minds, because they dont give audiences the usual plot friendly popcorn baby sitting that tutorials you through the whole movie. You have to have read the comics, seen the movies, understood their histories, and grown along side their evolution. This is why these characters have this effect on people, because they were a part of our childhood to adulthood and it's tapping on real raw emotions that were usually always depicted the opposite way in cartoons or movies. I think this is exactly how this universe should be portrayed, as dark, grim, treacherous, and that might be ultimately what people didnt pay to see. I really dont mind all the critics that hated it and the bandwagon haters following them, cause it made sense to me, and they should see your video if they need it explained to them like they were a 6 year old. You gave a definite and clear encapsulation of why it's still a better movie than all these other shallow, emotionless comic book characters that rely on humor to trick an emotion out of people. Let the haters have their fake cake and eat it too.

[@SriM0]

well written!

[@FuggYew666]

Yep. Agree. Fuck the critics and fuck the haters. This movie has depth and its amazing.

[@wildevil]

***** It just wasnt made for you I guess. As for the rest of us, we enjoyed it, appreciated it, and understood the message being conveyed. The movie and it's director make no apologies for not being the typical colorful, comedic, family friendly blockbuster for the masses, and I'm GLAD for it. Let Marvel make their fun, trendy movies, they are really good at it. Loved Guardians, Loved Ant-Man, but I can use a little bit more.... 2 of my favorite movies, Fight Club and Shawshank Redemption, bombed at the box office, god awful returns, but some would say those are really good movies...but it's not for everyone, not for families, not for the average movie goer, and I'm fine with that, cause I LOVED those 2 movies. Some people just didnt get the beauty of it, the art, the complex story telling, so just cause some critics didnt get the typical comic book movie they wanted, they get to call it bad? In a short while nobody will remember what the critics or haters said, we'll all just remember this movie happened, Batman and Superman kicked each others ass! WonderWoman's clash with Doomsday was epic! The Batman warehouse brawl was awesome! ....No, you shouldnt have to do prior homework for BVS, the rivalry has only been brewing for 75 years, which is how I mean, it just wasn't made for you.

[@GraysonToddDrake]

+wildevil I'm sorry man but no. The Dark Knight was written for mature minds. Films like Birdman, Revenant, Pulp Fiction, Training Day etc those are mature mind films that deal with complex thought and emotion. Batman v Superman was poorly written and edited. Im a huge comic fan and grew up watching all DC animated shows. Shit, YOUNG JUSTICE is for mature minds. As a fan of DC I can't excuse them for this movie. It's was sloppy. We deserve better. Glad you liked it but don't insult people who know what a well paced film is supposed to look like.

[@wildevil]

***** You have your opinion, I have mine.You dont get to lecture me on whats poor or good. Go watch your cartoons.

[@jtjdrums]

I fell in love with the Ultimate Edition. I came out from seeing the theatrical version scratching my head. I imagine anyone who was a genuine fan of Man of Steel felt similarly. MoS's Superman/ Clark was absent in BvS theatrical. People can trivialise the shaving off of thirty minutes run time from a film, and the impact it can have on its quality, but BvS really suffered as a result. Putting salient Superman and Clark scenes back in (and also detailing Luthor's plan more effectively) added so much to the film for me...both as someone wanting character/ story continuity to carry over from film to film, and as someone who appreciates clear storytelling. I love BvS UE!

The underlining message of this movie is what will give it longevity. While the "fun" and "lighthearted" style of Marvel quickly fades, movies like this live forever

[@skotmongoose]

Great vid man. I cried for the final 20 minutes of this movie... I literally had to wait until the credits ended to get it together cause I realized I had to go back out in public. It's really powerful stuff. Wanted to add - before the movie came out, fans were arguing about who would beat who in a fight. I haven't seen anyone talk about it since the movie released, for numerous reasons sure, but it adds to your point about them rising together, and the commentary the makers of the movie wanted to make about violence in general, and how God should inspire Man.

[@matthewrocca4197]

Wow, your thoughts are incredibly profound and beautifully genuine. I feel the exact same way as you do about this film. There is SO much heart, and such an important message, and I feel very frustrated that many critics seemed to miss that. As both a comic book enthusiast and a filmmaker myself, I feel that this movie was exceptionally well-made. I've seen it twice, and plan to see it again. Your video has inspired me to make one of my own to promote this film to those who have not seen it. Thank you for posting this!

Thanks for making this review. I felt the same way about many of these moments : ) I remember the very last thing his father on earth said, of should i say gestured before he died ( No, do not use your powers to save me. Do not let the people know what you can do ) That would play on Superman's mind constantly. Loved BvS.

[@idawg7332]

Thank you for actually paying attention when you watched the movie. Its clear that a lot of people weren't which is why they think its as bad as fant4stic or green lantern. Oh and apparently if you say that people didn't get it that makes you pretentious. God forbid a superhero movie tries to have interesting ideas, instead of just having quips and boring villains

[@EclipseHedgehog]

+Ian Levinson thank you! i hate being called pretentious. idk where they were when the dark knight came out, at least this movie embraced the comic book-ness unlike nolan who wanted to be taken seriously so badly yet I personally couldn't because bale's character was more of a clown than the one he fought.

[@AwesomeEpicBros]

+Ian Levinson Exactly.

[@Films-Unlimited]

Well my faith in humanity has been restored by this review.

[@WhatsBiggin]

Because as he was facing death, the life Superman was begging for was not his own. It was for the life of another. And THAT was the catalyst of the change in Batman. And in return, the willingness Batman showed to put helping his mother above his own vendetta, was the catalyst for change in Superman. We need to understand, that the subtitle of Dawn of Justice. It is always darkest before the dawn. And Dawn also means beginning. The beginning of both of them reaching their ideals(Justice), not just with one another, but THROUGH one another.

[@TankLCDx]

+James Biggins the scene was idiotic. batman stood there and did fuck all while wonder woman did all the real fighting. superman couldnt swim with the kryptonite staff and lois had to throw it away from him in order for him to even function.. but hes able to fly off with it mere seconds later, WTF? they could have had batman give the staff to wonder woman since she was already having no trouble cutting doomsday up and he was running around like a little bitch anyway. he put himself in the position of "facing death" when it couldve been solved a number of ways. im almost convinced wonder woman couldve just killed doomsday by herself..

[@7hew0lv3r1ne]

Michael G So everyone who believes it was a poorly done movie is a hater? How about you elaborate on the point your trying to make? I'm up for an honest explanation. You have Batman on the verge of killing Superman, but then because their moms happen to have the same, he stops? If their mothers had different names, would Superman have died? On the screen it appeared as such a terrible explanation. It encapsulates also how poor the transitions were in the movie.

[@obiwillkenobi9409]

Awesome and very heartfelt view of the movie. I liked the movie for what it was but you gave me a different view of the movie which was a pleasant surprise. I saw the scene with young Bruce rising from the pit as just a dream sequence, but now i see that this was symbolic and meant that Bruce would rise above that situation. Just as we can overcome adversity and become better. Thank you. You just blew my mind.

this movie really touched me like no other movie has, i never expected it to do this way, i actually was trashing the movie before watching it. but man was I wrong, had to go watch it another time It showed mature concepts and characters who are struggling between their roles as heroes and ordinary men. definitely one the best movies i have ever seen.

[@cenagang54]

I love this movie and I feel you man

[@NikiWonoto26]

the reason I love your review the most is not just because you can see the 'positive' aspects of the movie (while most people/reviewers/critics generally just only look or even intentionally seek-out for minor-detailed 'flaws/negative' of the movie), but it's also because you can see the much more DEEPER aspects (and thus the BIGGER-picture) of the film/movie. and unfortunately/sadly, in our world, there's NOT a lot of people/humans who have deep/in-depth, wise, & beautiful mind and heart like yours..! I really respect your take/perspective.. and yes I agree with many who said in the comments that there needs to be more people like you in our world/human's society.. we often quarrel, argue, & fight over just some small minor little & even insignificant things/matters in the grand scheme of everything,.. and yet forgetting perhaps some of the most (& deepest) important lessons/things in Life.. and you've reminded people about this fact really well, and beautifully.. thank you very much :) - from Indonesia -

[@juicemanbenji]

I actually remember feeling emotional when Batman promised Superman he will save his mother. One of my favourite moments from the movie.

[@jamyskis]

Just briefly addressing your point about how people's expectations of Superman tend to centre around the "boy scout" model - that pretty much defines the very difference between Reeve's and Cavill's Superman. Reeve was supposed to embody an unattainable ideal of moral and physical perfection, adhering to a singular moral standard ("the American way") and judging all other moral standards by this reference. Cavill's Superman on the other hand, while being representative of physical perfection, is also representative of the struggle that we as human beings face to achieve moral perfection - he has no greater capacity to achieve this than any other person raised on Earth, but the expectations are put upon him to meet this standard nonetheless. He's expected to be a leader on a leash, which as you say is a by-product of the modern-day Facebook/Twitter culture - society's developing tendency to demand solutions from those in power while expecting to maintain control over them. One of the greatest problems with the Reeve-era Superman is that the unintended consequences of his actions are poorly examined. In one of the very few "morally ambiguous" choices he faced, he opted to go against Jor-El's command ("It is forbidden for you to interfere in human history") and there were no adverse effects from it. Likewise, when he abandoned his powers in Superman 2 to be with Lois, his decision is basically reversed at the flick of a switch to enable him to face Zod, again despite Lara's warnings. One of the greatest things about BvS in particular is that it shows that morality is not as black and white as people today seem to think it is. Superman does screw up from time to time because his capacity to assess the consequences of his actions is no better than that of a human being. He's a model for the human race in that he encourages us to learn from our mistakes and to not be discouraged from doing good in the face of unfair criticism, whereas Batman essentially serves as a cautionary tale about what happens when we do let ourselves be consumed by such acrimony and loss of self-confidence.

[@misaeltoral508]

Exactly my thoughts about Superman, I've been sick and tired of repeating the same thing. Cavill's Superman is a god-like being raised with the morals of a normal everyday person. He has the same flaws and virtues as everyone else. How people can't grasp that is beyond me.

[@EclipseHedgehog]

+jamyskis its like people want superman to be perfect from the start. Yet these movies are clearly showing him going through an arc just like Luke skywalker. he's changing as these films go on. I remember complaints about superman being too op, dorky, too much of a boy scout, little drama. Yet here and man of steel answered that and they're now complaining that its too mopey and dramatic! you can't win with these people. They just need to come out and say "i don't like superman, i don't want to and never will." i understand some fans of Chris Reeve want that superman back but we'll always have those movies. No ones replacing them. but that was in a time where things were different, and they had different intentions. They just took superman and put him in today's world and people today are very negative. They didn't make superman himself dark, its just the world around him is. He has to bring hope right? so what would the point be if everyone and everything around him was cheery and happy and fine?? its showing that he's making a difference. He does have conflicts, he can be hurt and he does struggle and have challenges. Being serious is not an issue. sometimes we as people have to face serious every once and a while. We can't just ignore them and expect them to go away.

[@viqneuman.5111]

I went into watching Batman V Superman with pretty high expectations, seeing as I'd been waiting for it's release for so many years. When I walked out of the cinema with my friends, we all had massive grins on our faces and we couldn't help but talk about the action and aesthetic parts of the film that we all enjoyed. After letting all the negative reviews get to my head, I went to go see the film a second time in order to take everything in. I started to pick up on some of the emotional issues felt between the two characters of Batman and Superman and soon after watching it when I got home and began to think the film over more, I didn't care about the somewhat convoluted plot or the fact that Lex Luthor's motivations are a little confusing - I was reminded of almost everything that you pointed out in this video. I'm so glad that I'm not the only other person who felt this way about this film. If I get the chance I'm definitely going to share this review with my friends and some of the people I know who are still skeptical about the movie.

[@ianleex6874]

To add on the symbolism of him falling in the beginning and how he felt that same thing in metropolis(Great writing, and well done sequence). I would like to point out that during that monologue he said something about how that fall, fell again. Basically saying after he fell, he fell again. Almost reaffirming exactly what you you said to the letter. It was almost to on the nose how you spotted that which made his motivations all the more layered. Glad you pointed that out. How good was that sequence by the way? The way the whole thing was shot beautifully and grounded. So when the kid fell, you really felt shocked and scared for the kid because of how he falls so abruptly. His facial expressions as he was falling, was great. He looked terrified. I really believed that kid was falling. Plus the whole scene with the bats bringing to the light was masterful imagery. Well done sequence all around.

[@EARLandPEARL-c3i]

best review of the movie posted...thank you for wearing your heart on your sleeve

[@Avatariuz]

I grew up with 70's Superman and tv series except Smallville, and Batman through the 80's and 90's also seen some of the old tv series. Ive read Supermans death early 90's. And i loved MoS, it was weird to watch for the first time as ive seen the other movies too much and havent seen any trailer upon watching the movie, but got it on bluray and then loved it even more every time i watched it and looking forward to BvS. As soon as i saw the teasers/trailers i was excited, ive recognized elements from the other media like tv series cartoons, and the stories. I very much loved both of them in BvS. I teared up in some scenes and that martha scene was tense for me, great acting from Ben, you could see the confusion on his expressions and by having seen his nightmares through out the movie, especially that monster bat scene added with future scene with flash warning you really get that. That scene with Clark and Pa Kent, hit me really hard. Also, critics watch too much movies to review that they cant stand any movie that are different in the same genre.

Keep coming back to this video amazingly honest thank you

[@AtlantaGuns]

no brother, you are not the only one who feels this way about this movie. I absolutely adore this movie and you have just so eloquently expressed how we all felt when we came out of the theater. thank you!

for me is the most true bold CBM ever made

[@RiSEME1733]

+Tysonescobar Marioescobar I concur.

[@boo1232able]

I agree.

[@Treezum]

yes

[@Dark6Blood9]

+ezwar99 It's ok. This film is anything but underrated despite the sold out negative reviews. Thankfully, there are still many people out there capable of critical thinking to know what this film has to offer and what it really was about. About what superheroes are all about and what they stand for, how they evolve and how they inspire us. Most Marvel movies have yet to reach that level of emotion or depth, they are just following a safe family friendly formula.

+Dark6Blood9 Bravo! You nailed it.

[@robsonbento]

Brett, I just wanted to hug you and say: you inspired me. I've always been a Batman fan but I didn't know why I needed to have a Batman suit. My life only made sense after watching your documentary Legends of the Knight and starting my social project. And today I 'm the Batman of many people. Thank you. Thank you!

Excellent! I saw the reviews of this movie and thought I am going to see a bad movie. When I saw it I was enthralled. This movie gave me all the emotions of laughter, sadness, excitement, and happiness. I ask the question, what movie did these critics see? ,

[@overchipz]

+Jonathan Barbee those critics probably never picked up a comic book in their lifes

[@barbeej12]

I am not that much into the comics. There were some things I did not get, but the movie was still thrilling. And I don't like any type of movies.

"This (the movie) is not for kids.." well said dude! That's so true.m

[@Movieknightsfilmreviews]

This is why Batman v superman was perfect & why some didn't like it. what you've said hear said it perfect about the film. its why i loved the direction of the film.

[@rushpan93]

It's been nearly 5 years since the movie was out and since the day I loved it. But all this time of defending it, trying to understand what was wrong with it, I had forgotten the simple things that made me love this movie so much. Thank you for reminding me. The irony of how this video itself is 5 years old is not lost on me either.

[@AdamCollings]

Very well said, Sir. I'm glad this movie touched you so deeply. That's what stories are supposed to do. One of the things I love about Batman V Superman is that every time you dig into it, every time you hear another fan's perspective, you see something new in it. This movie is a goldmine. That's one of the many reasons I love it.
