The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzMar 24, 2016
The film might be pretty to look at, but narratively speaking, it is a disaster. Read full review

The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenMar 23, 2016
Many decisions...make “Batman v Superman” a joyless slog. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsMar 22, 2016
Snyder is not without skills, or ideas, but when a critic finds himself at odds with almost every aspect of a director’s visual approach to material like this, material like this becomes pretty joyless. Read full review

Washington PostAnn HornadayMar 23, 2016
Strip away the trite character beats, rote plot points, random dream sequences and other narrative padding, and “Batman v Superman” comes down to the actors, their characters and whether they can sustain interest over the long haul. The answer is yes, if they wind up in the hands of filmmakers blessed with authentic imagination rather than serviceable technical chops. Read full review

The VergeTasha RobinsonMar 23, 2016
Batman v Superman addresses Man Of Steel's problems in words without learning anything from it in tone. Instead, the new film doubles down on the grimness, the ugliness, and the indifference to human life. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMar 23, 2016
“Batman v Superman” is an insanely long and convoluted action movie, made worse by an air of importance. It’s dispiriting and visually bland. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternMar 23, 2016
Spasms of highfalutin philosophy, and howlingly pretentious dream sequences, serve only as the thinnest of veneers for incessant action in one of the most assaultive movies ever made. Read full review

The Film StageBrian RoanMar 23, 2016
It is a movie ostensibly about consequences that never lingers long enough on its own story to consider that the things happening in the narrative present ought to have consequences as well. Very little matters; very little makes sense. Read full review

SlateJonathan L. FischerMar 23, 2016
To put it delicately, this comics fan hated Batman v Superman with the fury of a thousand red-dwarf suns. Blunt, humorless, and baffling, it collides the brutish directorial stamp of its director (he of 300 and Watchmen fame) with the most shameless instincts of our latter-day superhero franchise bubble.
