Batman vs Superman: Movie and Cereal Overview (Spoilers)

     I'm going to start with the cereal actually and put the spoilers after the jump just to be safe. The Superman cereal wins the box design category because the logo is shiny. Overall, I have to say these are probably the nicest cereal boxes I've ever seen. It's hard to tell in the picture but both of their logos are embossed and feature unique textures which is probably the main reason I felt like they were worth buying. Now I have to decide if I actually want to keep the boxes...

     In terms of flavor, the Superman one sort of tastes like graham crackers with a hint of Waffle Crisp flavoring, and the Batman one is like a combination of Cocoa Puffs and Cap'n Crunch Berries. Both are good, but I have to give the points to Batman here for at least being unique. The Superman one just tastes like a run of the mill sugary cereal although the sugar at the bottom of the bag was REALLY fricken good. So basically overall I think Superman wins this one.

     Now, as for the movie, I'm pretty sure I actually liked it. I was mostly just in it for Wonder Woman, but throughout the movie I didn't notice any glaring issues. I kind of felt like the animosity Batman had toward Superman shifted too quickly, and maybe should have never really been there to begin with? I don't know. I guess I'll just let it slide. And I know Lex Luthor is a brilliant schemer and all that, but he totally chumps Batman and that doesn't feel right to me. Otherwise the only real issue I have is that it's a Zack Snyder movie which means green barely exists and lots of high contrast shadow stuff going on.

     As for the good stuff, I think Ben Affleck did a pretty damn good job as Batman/Bruce Wayne. And while Gal Gadot isn't as beefy as Wonder Woman probably should be, it's hard to argue with how good she looks in that costume. When she first shows up to block the laser and her music starts I nearly jumped out of my seat. Also really glad to see her grinning in battle; that's the Wonder Woman I love most. 

     So overall I'm fairly pleased with this. I thought Man of Steel was pretty crappy but Dawn of Justice has made me excited to see how this franchise evolves. 

(P.S. I just decided I will keep the boxes in the hopes that Wonder Woman gets her own cereal when her movie comes out. She damn well better.)
