Watched the 3 core DCEU films in preparation for Justice League next week.
Man of Steel - 9.5/10
Love this film. For me it's got it all. Grounded, powerful, emotional with well developed characters you can relate to. Hard hitting action on a massive scale with destruction and scenarios that have real world consequences. This may not be the Superman film the boyscout purists prefer but I personally found this interpretation refreshing and more engaging than most superhero films.
Batman V Superman: Ultimate Edition - 9.5/10
Admittedly this isn't your traditional superhero/comic book movie. It's dark, gritty and deals with complex real world issues. While I'm not the biggest fan of how Lex Luthor was written/portrayed on a character level I think his manipulation of the title heroes and fears of a nation were brilliant. Like Superman before this in MoS this is the version of Batman I've been waiting for on screen. The burnt out grizzled detective that has been driven to extremes. I didn't have a problem with the theatrical version of the film but there is no question the Ultimate Edition adds a ton more depth, makes the underlying narrative and character motivations much clearer and improves the overall flow dramatically. It's the only way to watch BvS and it's a shame it wasn't delivered to theaters this way.
Wonder Woman - 7/10
It's awesome seeing a beloved character finally hit the big screen. Gadot is perfect as the title character and Chris Pine is excellent as Steve Trevor. Not as good as MoS or BvS for me due to a pretty straightforward narrative, weak antagonist and some dodgy CGI (particularly in the Themyscira scenes.) While I do feel the fish out of water scenario is rather cliche at this point they still did the character justice here and I applaud them for going all in on delivering her origin.
