When this film is good it is great. Say what you will about Snyder, he knows how to pull off an awesome action sequence. Visually the film looks great and (while some people seem to dislike this) I think the dark tone is good too.
DC are trying to distinguish themselves from the Marvel films and I think going for a more mature vibe is a smart way to do it.
The performances are solid but my favourite has to be Jeremy Irons. He isn't in it long but I love his portrayal of a tired and cynical Alfred.
Also I the sound track is just great! I especially like Wonder Womans theme.
All that said, this film has problems. Lots of them.
Like I say, I like that they're going for a more grown up ton but there are moments when it gets a little heavier than it needs to be. There are three superheroes in this film and they all seem to hate being a superhero, I don't think it would hurt for one of them to at least seem like they like what they do.
There are a lot of easter eggs and set ups for future films, some of which are done better than others (the justice league cameos are really lazily done). I really enjoyed looking out for the nods and winks but there are so many of them in this film and so heavily emphasized that I think it would be quite alienating to a casual viewer who wasn't that farmiliar with the comics.
Henry Cavill is a good Superman but we knew that already. The new heroes (Affleck and Gadot) are what I'm a bit conflicted about.People say 'Wonder Woman stole the show' but collectively she's only in it for like 8 minutes. It's a good 8 minutes, she doesn't get anything wrong but it's still just 8 minutes, hardly enough to steal a show.
Whether or not you'll like Batman depends on what interperatation if the character is your favourite. Personally I like Batman when he has his no killing rule so I'm not a massive fan of this one. Not to say Affleck does a bad job, he certainly doesn't but in this film Batman kills without hesitation or remorse.
Jesse Eisenberg as Luthor... I don't know where to stand. He gives it his all but I'm not keen on awkward nerdy Luthor.
Also the editing in the first hour or so of the film is kind of clunky and the final fight at the end feels kind of tacked on like they just needed a last minute excuse to get the three heores in one place. I mean Doomsday (aside from looking like a generic CGI monster taken from WETA digitals stock library) just doesn't feel necessary here.
So all in all it's good but far from perfect. If you're on the fence about going to see it then I would definitely urge you to go.… Expand

Only the last hour of the movie is any good. I didn't even like the opening credits, they were so blah! And the music with a couple of exceptions is also underwhelming.

What a mess! Some good CGI action but a poor story and an even poorer script. One of those movies that just shouldn't have been made. Glad I didn't see this mess in a theatre, it was hard enough to watch through it all on TV.

The first act was okay the second meh and the ending was great. So its kinda mixed imo. Affleck as batman killed it. Cavill was fine. But I think the movie suffered from the narrative being lost in the action. Not balanced well at all.

Becoming one of the most controversial movies very quickly, Batman V Superman does a lot of things well, and a lot of things wrong. Luckily I have more pros and cons, but the cons are still there, so let's talk about the good parts first. Ben Affleck NAILED it as Bruce Wayne, Henry Cavill was an.. alright Superman, and Gal Gadot was a great Wonder Woman. I did feel like the movie was less fun, but it made it all the more AWESOME to watch. The dark and bruting Superman screwing with the mind of Bruce Wayne was interesting to see, and the rivalry between the two was entertaining to watch. However, let's get into the cons. Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was a very poor choice, as the actor was very stupid and unentertaining rather than hysterical and insane. Plus, the first hour of the movie was a lot of unneeded exposition, but I didn't mind the rest. However, Doomsday looked absolutely terrible, and is easily the worst part of this movie. Overall, Batman V Superman isn't a bad movie, but it isn't a fantastic movie either. If you ever watch this movie, don't go into this movie with high expectations; if you do, you won't like this movie. I personally thought it was alright.

On one hand, I was satisfied with the film, but on the other, I felt like this film was released to early. Even still, I was hopeful for BvS. After the disaster that was Star Wars Episode 7, I needed a movie to get me excited for something again. Unfortunately, BvS was a film of extreme ups and downs. The film absolutely excels in its action and visuals, and both Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck fit very well in the roles of DC's two biggest characters. But the film is also overstuffed, unfocused, and lacks proper build-up. For me, DC's desire to compete with Marvel is costing them dearly, especially since Captain America: Civil War came out this year as well, which is without a doubt, one of Marvel's best films. They need to take their time to build a proper universe, instead of trying to fit numerous unrelated stories into each of the movies. So for me, I'm still recommending for people to check it out, just be sure to keep your expectations in check.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman v Superman
The movie has a welcomed serious tone and a depth that is intriguing, but it twists itself around ruining the characters. Overall I really enjoyed parts, but it makes me want to know what was reshot and what they changed on the cutting room floor. I loved one theme of the story; the theme of Superman being an idol/god to many people, and the danger that may cause. Batman distrusted this unequal balance of power of a god Superman, and it seemed like a true motivation to oppose Superman. This would have been a perfect setup for a Bizarro Superman to trick the masses, and become a real false god who abuses his power. But instead the movie relied on unreasonable misunderstandings between Batman and Superman that ruined any good logic of the characters.

The movie made Batman emotionally blind and sadistic, and the way he treats Superman is moronic. The movie basically created a big misunderstanding that goes on most of the movie, so that Batman wants to sadistically murder Superman. His detective skills and reasoning are gone from this movie. A few scenes are enjoyable like when Batman is purely badass to the bad guys. Batman is only a "good" guy because we like Batman, but if he were dressed in a different custom then his actions would make him the villain. Superman is mute and moronic. The US government is condemning of Superman and distrusts his powers, all because of a big misunderstanding, yet Superman has no voice. Everything about Superman's thought process is slow, and frustrating to watch. Doesn't Superman talk ever to explain? (Yeah I know he shows up at Congress well into the movie). doesn't Lois Lane even write articles to explain her first hand knowledge of Superman? Does Superman land far away from Batman so he can moronically walk into Batman's trap, and meekly tell Batman about the misunderstandings orchestrated by Lex Luther? The movie tried to make Lex Luther be the glue to connect everything together. He invites Batman, Clark Kent, and Wonder Woman to the same party. He has files on the other mutants. He has access to all science and money, bails out the guy in the wheelchair, and gains access to Zod's ship. He has his finger in EVERYTHING and pulls the strings to trick EVERYONE. It was too much, and not a satisfying plot connection. Also he shows up everywhere as the plot needs to force him to connect, which was only topped by Lois Lane being everywhere as the plot needs.

The movie relied on both main characters, Batman and Superman to be stupid and not empathetic to each other, which hurt the film. They resolve their differences immediately in the movie, with a stupid connection, and they forget the whole hate for each other. The film makers forced the team to come together for the end scene. They did fine with including Wonder Woman, in fact I felt proud when they were all working together. But it was lame how they pasted in the other mutant characters like Cyborg, Aquaman, Flash, by using top secret camera footage that was like posed commercials.

I enjoyed the foreshadowing scene of Batman's dream in the desert, of evil superman, flying bug guys, someone in a portal warning Batman. Did they intend to have Superman evil at some point? We shall see if this is all meant for later movies, but it shows how unfocused this film is.

Final annoyance, Why does Doomsday's roar sound EXACTLY THE SAME as every big monster IN EVERY MOVIE??… Expand

The final major flaw was the situation didn't make much sense, i mean batman and superman have saved many lives and they are looked at as enemies? Kinda strange.

Underneath all of the CGI and cinematic bravado that Zack Snyder layered on us, there is a great story about the misuse of power. A little too long and slow, and a few minor plot flaws spoil this otherwise fine addition to the DC universe.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to love this movie. I wanted this movie to be the best superhero movie. But this movie falls incredibly sort from my hopes for it. However I do not hate it like others. First of all, Ben Affleck is outstanding as Batman in this movie. Everything from the costume to the performance was spot on. Although a few of his actions are not explained which leads to some confusion with the overall character. Also, Wonder Woman is great when she appears in the movie at different points. I must point out that it is hard to judge Gal Gadots performance as she is in the movie very briefly. For me Wonder Woman saves the climax of this movie, which was otherwise unnecessary. The third member of the Holy Trinity, Superman, is horribly under-utilised and the great character he developed in Man of Steel is completely tarnished. It feels as though Supermans arc in this film is pushed aside to make room for the ridiculously out of place end fight which the trailers already spoiled. And Lois Lane is useless in this film. They tried to give her a story of her own, which just ends with no actual payoff. It literally changes nothing in the overall plot of the movie. Again, Lois is another character from Man of Steel that is tarnished by the story telling in this movie. Jesse Eisenburg gives it his all which I respect him for. Despite this, the way Lex Luthor is portrayed is not what I hoped for. He's an unhinged, twitchy child in this film and not the intelligent business man in the comics. He's Joker 2.0. I will say though if he was doing this exact performance in another movie and without the name Lex Luthor I feel as though he would have recieved great praise. He's just not the Lex we wanted. The plot is messy, but not incomprehensible, though when you piece it together the only storyline/motivation that is remotely believable is Batmans. The others are strange and Supermans takes a sudden, unexpected change. His motivations completely flip from wanting to fight Batman because he hates him, to fighting him reluctantly because Lex forces him to. I will say the action and cinematography in this film is pure perfection. Sack Snyder is a visionary, but his story is messy and the editing is jarring. You can really see little pieces of a great movie in Batman v Superman but strange editing, convoluted storylines, a bloated runtime, weird character choices really drag this movie down.… Expand

I also enjoyed Ben Affleck's Batman; feeling much more like the muscled hidden-in-plain-sight playboy billionnaire of the graphic novels. And yet, the movie still failed because of an awful script, all the create the contrivance that is why Batman would fight Superman. Logically this makes no sense whatsoever, and for this to work it needed a much more nuanced plot than we ended up getting. Batman disliking him because his attempts to save the world as well as his presence ended up killing innocent lives isn't good enough, not on its own. The worst thing is it could have acted as an exploration of Batman's character. This would make sense if it was actually Batman running away from the fact his own actions cause exactly the same problems... His own existence causes other psychopaths to murder and steal in Gotham city. Batman v Superman should have been about the fact he was actually fighting the things he was running away from in himself, projecting them onto Superman.

Marvel's Universe was just as guilty in their Civil War film. Superheroes fighting each other makes no sense, not unless the fight is ideological (which usually stems from whether it is acceptable to kill or not), but neither Universe wants to taint their biggest franchises. To me, the difference is at least Civil War provided an enjoyable movie that kept my suspension of disbelief well enough to not detract from the experience. The same, sadly, can't be said for Batman V Superman.… Expand

Some minutes were removed, the film is very robust for little plot and the villain is not scary, scary or anything of the genre. In visual and technical terms the film is very good the cgi is well used the cuts are very good, often imperceptible , The photograph focuses well on the facial espressoes and the action scenes are well developed, but the plot should be better, it could not, SHOULD be better at several moments it is the focus of the main focus of the henredo which is very massante, the dire Ben Affleck's Batman, an embittered batman and even traumatized by the losses of his parents, is arrogant, intelligent and this time much more violent, even killing bandits. , Which in my opinion is very good all that a bruce wayne needs to have, Henry Cavill as clark kent / superman is very good also he unmasks very well the internal doubts of the character and his kindness assuma of all things, Amy Adams as Lois lane is ok, Jesse Eisenberg plays lex luthor which is not very good, he even tries to integrate a decent character but this does not happen as well as planned but his motivations are not at all plausible, highlight Jeremy Irons Like alfred, he manages to integrate a remarkable character and similar to that of hq what for the min is very good.

It suffers from dodgy character motivations, questionable casting choices, and a lackluster climax. The movie has a bit of an identity crisis. The core concept doesn't really even make up much of the overlong runtime. It feels like three movies smashed into one, which is never good. There's strong stuff in here, sometimes very strong, but at the end of the day, it's a disappointingly mediocre affair.… Expand

Batman V Superman isn't nearly as bad as the critics made it out to be. Sure it's a disappointment, but not what I'd call bad. The story tries to cram in too much yes, and the villains are a little pathetic, but where all else fails, Batman shines. Ben Affleck's Batman fits in well with the darker tones of the movie, and that warehouse fight scene resembles much of the critically acclaimed Arkham series. The fight between Batman and Superman, whilst short, is still entertaining and miles better than the lacklustre fight that was Master Chief V Locke. Wonder Woman also shines as one of the best features of the movie.

However, Lex Luthor is just plain weird, Doomsday resembles more of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle crossed with a cave troll and Superman is pretty dull for the most part and the story is just a mess.

The score is fantastic as one could expect from Junkie XL. The cinematography is stunning and the costume design really captures all of the characters their equipment (I adore the Bat-mobile's design).

TL;DR
Batman and Wonder Woman shine.
Superman is boring
The cinematography and action is stellar
The score is stunning
Prop and costume design is wonderful
Story is a mess
Villains disappoint
Warehouse scene is one of the best superhero action scenes in a movie

Final Score: 6/10… Expand

There isn't a seemingly repetitive formulaic feel as in other films as we've seen before in the same universe, and this, although still having world-class action scenes, has a lot more story and character development in it making for an extremely entertaining film. Moreover the acting was brilliant and also having world class performances from the likes of Jesse Eisenberg. A must watch for action fans, a must watch for slightly more engaging films and of course for any fans of the marvel dc universes.… Expand

He had no place in this movie. If I were to summon up all of my complaints for this movie, it would be that the whole movie feels like a build up for a sequel, which meant I was never invested. This seems to be the new trend in superhero movies, and it's stupid. Most of the cameos for the flash and some of the other superheros were very poorly written. Overall, Batman v Superman was very disappointing, but still not an awful movie.… Expand

When I see a Marvel movie, I'm expecting a bad movie to come up. With DCEU, I'm expecting a good movie to show up. Even though DCEU is falling apart, I still enjoyed this movie. I like it, but not as much as Marvel and The Dark Knight Trilogy and the X-Men franchise and DCEU need to step it up or get rebooted which might be a good idea and hired great movie directors and writers and someone who gets it right.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (ULTIMATE EDITION) So here's what I love about this film: I do believe that Ben Affleck plays the best comic book version of the Batman. Whenever he delivers his lines I simply believe that he is this character and he also looks the part more than any other actor who portrayed this character. I love the tone and overall I think the movie is visually stunning for the most part. I like that key characters initially have clear motivations and are fleshed out. Score is phenomenal too and fight scenes are worth re-watching. I DON'T LIKE how this movie tries too achieve more than it should - introducing members of the justice league (through short videos sent via e-mail, like... What?) Making Lex Luthor the main villain when it could have easily been just Batman vs Superman. No need to have a mastermind pulling the strings. Just have two forces be pitted against each other. Also, Eisenberg's performance is annoying. I don't even care that it's not accurate to the comics, it's just annoying. Doesn't strike me as a villain who should be feared. Looks like a spoiled brat that could just get slapped and would cry somewhere in a corner. Anyway, Martha scene... I get what they were trying to achieve but it was just too sudden, so it just cracks me up every time I see it. They needed some other way to show superman's humanity to Batman. Then killing off superman in his second movie was a mistake. Way too soon and Wayne with Diana talking at the end like they knew Kent for centuries. That was dumb. Batman's nightmare should have been cut out. So out of place (or after credits scene maybe?) Not going to even talk much about Doomsday. Just.. (sigh). I'm still hopeful for DC. I'm a fan.… Expand

They gave the title of the movie to a 5-minute fight. While watching the movie, I wished he was the Joker and killed them both by hitting each other. It's one of the few movies I've ever been bored with. When it comes to his subject, Batman, who thinks he is the provider of justice on earth, sticks his nose in Metropolis and Superman is the setting for it. Over time, they hate each other more and more. Then they trump cards in a fight cage organized by business Lex Luthor. Do not think that one of the two will stay. Totally false. It's not versus, or it could be Lex Luthor vs Superman, Batman, Diana.

There is no sex or nudity in the movie. If you have that much patience, it can be watched as a family. But I think it's a complete disappointment.… Expand

Esta historia inicia con el origen de Batman para luego transportarse en el medio del climax de "Man of Steel" donde Bruce Wayne se da cuenta del poder destructivo de Superman y el riesgo potencial que representa para la humanidad; mientras Clark Kent en su nuevo rol como periodista se percata del desatado vigilante que tiene atemorizada a la gente de Gotham por su brutal forma de combatir el crimen, poniendo así a Batman en la mira de Superman, y viceversa.
Si hay algo que destacar es la fotografía, cada cuadro esta bien pensado y captado para que cada imagen se sienta icónica, y resalte en pantalla. Como el interior de la Baticueva con los artículos recolectados por Batman a lo largo de sus aventuras, o la estatua de Superman profanada con la leyenda Falso Dios.
El error absoluto de "Batman v Superman" son los huecos argumentales, hay tantas cosas ocurriendo en pantalla que no se sienten propias de los personajes, como así también otras que se dan por sentado, por lo que uno se desentiende de las motivaciones de los protagonistas. Sin mencionar las malas decisiones como el facilitador usado de "Martha" para poder poner fin al conflicto entre héroes y saltar al nuevo climax.
Sin lugar a dudas esta película es muy pesada en contenido, y la versión cinematográfica pierde mucha calidad por los recortes de escenas. Sólo la recomiendo si eres muy afín de los personajes, y si vez la versión extendida de Blu-Ray.… Expand

"People hate what they don't understand." That only line from the movie describes perfectly the relation between the public and this movie. Is not nearly as bad as how much people say, but not a masterpiece like how some DC fans say. Is not a"People hate what they don't understand." That only line from the movie describes perfectly the relation between the public and this movie. Is not nearly as bad as how much people say, but not a masterpiece like how some DC fans say. Is not a bad movie, but is neither an excellent movie. It has a lot of flaws in it's structure. There are scenes that are horribly executed like the "Martha" thing. If you see it in a technnical way, you'll see a very disorganized mess of a movie, if you see it like just a story, you'll get an interesting story about the clash of the two greatest superheroes of all time in a philosophical background. That's when my second problem with this movie comes, the third act. The payoff to all this plotlines that have been builded up to the end of the movie just end in a dumb blockbuster way. Like the conflict between Superman and Batman, that ends with a CGI monster destroying all of the internal conflict.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman v superman is bad, both as an independent movie and an adaptation of the DC characters' stories. As most Zack Snyder movies are it is visually incredible, with great score and amazing costume design.

Storywise it is boring, overstuffed and undercooked all at the same time, it yet again misunderstands the appeal of Superman and makes him overly dark. It presents an older batman who's been through all the stories we've come to expect from batman, yet still feels the need to show us the death of his parents yet again. It mixes too many comic book stories into a much worse adaptation, and it expects us to take superman's death seriously after 2 movies into the cinematic universe.
Its a smart dumb movie, a movie that thinks it's smarter than it actually is, but that treats it's viewers like children that need to be handled through the whole experience.

It does however have one of the most entertaining villains in recent memory, he is very smart and feels like he's constantly 5 steps ahead of our protagonist leaving only slight clues and nods, unfortunately it's Lex Luther not the Riddler

Its better than man of Steel but is still not good… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie felt okish. The movie was highly hyped and had so many expectations but compared to them it was just meh. The story of the movie felt was not that bad, batman and superman both felt threatened against one another made a lot of sense, and the lex Luthor arc could have been better made tbh. THe one MAJOR issue the movie had was - pacing. The movie was prolonged. For the 2/3rds of the film, it was just dull, it took a lot of time for something interesting to happen. Tbh the story could have been a build-up from multiple movies instead of just a new film. The fight between B and S was short but good however the final fight scene was amazing and so was the cinematography I have to give that to the team it was just amazingly made. But other then than those 2 it was just a boring film. Lot of potentials was just wasted...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's set Martha's iconic scene aside for a second, though a note needs to be made nonetheless. Snyder's intention wasn't for Batman to spare Superman because of a coincidence about their mothers' names, but he spares him because for the first time he goes beyond the alien, he sees the Clark Kent as a person. Without this nice little speech, however, the scene is still largely illogical. There were like seven moments before that scene where Batman and Superman, instead of playing who had the biggest cock, could just confront each other and talk. 10 for the idea, 5 for the realization. The rest of the film is a mess. DC tried to keep up with Marvel by literally throwing everything into this film, shooting a sequence of scenes that the public, especially the general public, cannot understand! And also by entering a number of heroes, many of them with a time counted with a dropper on the screen, without there being a real underlying meaning behind this wicked idea. To make cinematic universes takes time and, above all, if you pillory a 2 and a half hour film, make sure it has a few moments of levity, because it's damned too heavy and it reaches the end that you're literally desperate. Not so much for what happens, because what happens happens a little by chance, a little for the needs of the plot. How much because you are mentally tested.… Expand

There are so many problems with this movie. It never knew what it wanted to be and had a hard time getting there
