Best comic book movie of all time.

I don't get the negative reviews. This was well done and fun. I went in for the AC expecting nothing much and was pleasantly surprised. A hellava lot more compelling than the Capt. America: Civil War snooze fest. What a bore Marvel has turned into.

I am a comic book fan and a huge Batman fan and I absolutely loved it. Zack Snyder does a great job of telling several different stories at once. Honestly I couldn't think of any better way to start up the Justice League. He was starting with bascially the DC's version of Avengers movie and had to fit that with back story for all the characters.

I love the Marvel movies and I also loved MoS. I was blown away by BvS! It has a dark tone to it and doesn't integrate humor like a Marvel movie. If you go in expecting a DC version of a Marvel movie, you probably won't be happy. If you go in looking for a good superhero story playing with some pretty deep themes then this movie won't disappoint. It had a slow build up and then just simply exploded (in the best possible way)! I thought it had the best action set pieces I think I have ever seen in a superhero movie. I've never been a super big Wonder Woman fan but when she hits the scene as WW, she nails it! I wasn't sure how I would like Ben Affleck as Batman but I really liked his Frank Miller inspired Batman. Finally we have a cinematic batman who combines the super science, the world's greatest detective, and the world's greatest combatant into one version of the character. Henry Cavill (and his Superman) continue to grow and by the end of the movie, he truly is Superman, not just in name, but in deed and spirit. The easter eggs were awesome and exactly what I hoped for in a movie intent on launching a shared movie universe. I am going to watch it again just to try and discover all of them. Again, I love the Marvel movies but I have never had an emotional reaction to a Superhero movie like I did with the end of BvS. I'm not a very emotionally expressive person but I actually choked up!… Expand

Yes, this movie had its fair share of flaws, I will admit that. But otherwise, it was a very exciting, very thrilling movie. The action was great, the acting was great, it was all around a good movie. Not a perfect movie, but a good movie.

How the movie was bland or to hyped up, and lex luthor was perfectly played. I found the complete oposite experience actually. Im not saying the movie was extraordinary and mind blowing. Im saying that that i enjoyed it other then lex luthor. Now im not as versed in the comic book world as i should be, but i found the portrail of lex rather annoying then menacing as you would think he would be. Sort of joker esk if you will. Otherwise i think its a fun and pretty alright movie just like the other dc and marvel movies that have been released.… Expand

Who are these critics and why is their opinion of any relevance? Star Wars Ep.

Star Wars Ep. VII gets a whopping 81 from these so called cinema experts and really it's nothing but a watered down, cliché ridden version of the true essence of the Star Wars universe, clearly targeted at children and teens (because lets be honest, did anyone leave that movie theatre with a stimulated intellect? I highly doubt that.) I don't particularly feel inclined to believe or accept these 'critics' opinion.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was and is a great movie. Yes it has it's flaws, the beginning is a little bit messy and some segments could have been done differently in order to create better flowing action and even the storyline could have been more refined. But the content is still there. In the end it all comes together and this is all I can ask from this genre of movie. Great acting, Affleck surprised me (positively) with his Batman/Bruce Wayne. I feel bad for prematurely judging him before watching the movie. Henry Cavill is just such a great Superman. I could really feel his mental struggle in a level than I couldn't help but sympathise with his gentle and noble spirit. He has a very expressive face and was able to transmit his emotions to me with a simple look. Now this takes talent.
Lex Luthor was amazingly done by Jesse Eisenberg. I do love me a crazy eccentric genius for a villain.
Didn't particularly see the point of presenting Wonder Woman in this film besides creating already some hype for future movies. I can't say I agree with that.
With good CGI, interesting plot and very cool cinematography, this is more than enough to receive high praise from me.
Overall this movie surprised me... quite a lot. I went there thinking this would be another awful Hollywood take on the classic comics and came out actually happy that I spent my money on it. Mind you, this happens quite infrequently.
Just go watch it. Please ignore these ignorant 'critic' reviews. Take your own conclusions from it. We really don't need more of these 'experts' telling us what we should or shouldn't like. Their opinion is theirs and it holds the same significance (certainly not more) of anyone else in this world.… Expand

The movie makes a few bald choices that you would never expect in a super-hero movie, which is a positive and negative at the same time. The other problem is that the writing is all over the place and the editing is very choppy. The tone as well is not for everybody and I would definitely not take kids to watch this movie due to how mature it is in some scenes. That being said, if you give this movie a chance, you will get the best Batman and Bruce Wayne you have ever seen on the big screen, you will gasp at the stunning visuals and cinematography and you will also be entertained by every action set-piece. In the end, how much you like the movie will be determined by how much you can forgive.… Expand

That being said, its not a bad movie either. Its good on a technical level. Its shot well and has fleshed out characters, deep thought provoking messages about hope, humanity and redemption and it sticks extremely close to comic books that I grew up with, namely The Dark Knight Returns, The Long Halloween and The Death of Superman.

Themes and plot elements are used throughout the movie from these comic books and fans of these books will be ecstatic to see panels lifted straight from the comics and placed on the silver screen.

That being said, this movie may be and early Christmas for older fans, new batman and superman fans may be put off by the deeper, darker and more violent themes of the movie. Its easy to see why younger fans of the comic book heroes, or even people who have grown to love the newer takes on the characters, may no longer be open to this interpretation of the characters. But that's what this is, another interpretation, one that I loved dearly.

I can rest happy now that MY ideal Batman vs Superman has been on the silver screen, regardless that so many people seem to dislike it.… Expand

To put it in to perspective, you give your brother $100 to buy firecrackers for the 4th of July and he brings back a whole pile of cherry bombs. It's fun to watch, but you're never awed and lament what it could have been.

I did enjoy the movie. It's Superman and Batman for god's sake. And Wonder Woman was a nice surprise.
I loved Affleck's Batman. Made Bale's Batman look like a Sunday school teacher.
Eisenberg seemed to be channeling both Ledger's Joker and Jim Carrey's Riddler.
He was good, but I don't think Lex Luthor needed to be a goofy psycho. (I hoped Mark Strong would've been Luthor, one can dream..)
Most glaring issue with the movie is that it jumps around, a lot. Fire the editor and hopefully Snyder for the future films.
Hopefully, blu-ray will add deleted scenes to minimize the gaps, jumps.… Expand

All actors are making an exceptional job with their roles. Some mistakes that were done on Man Of Steel were corrected, mainly the mistakes related to Superman's personality.
The main problem of this movie is Lois Lane, their scenes break the momentum of the movie, specially between the fights, also these scenes doesn't add too much to the history (except for the first scene), and they're just there to connect some scenes. I would prefer more scenes to develop the relationship between Batman, Superman and Lex Luthor than these pointless scenes.
It is a great movie, and thanks God that it is different from Marvel's movies. I think it is great that DC is trying to make their movies in a different way, treating each one of their movies with a different environment and tone, instead of the standardized Marvel way to do their movies (which I don't think it's bad, but I don't think it would fit in DC's universe).
I recommend to everyone to watch the movie, and make their own opinion about it. Don't care about the reviews. Watch it and see if this DC Universe is appealing for you.… Expand

I suppose this is why 99.9% of them can barely pay their rent. This movie may not be a masterpiece, but it is worthy of watching and that is a lot coming from me. I am a tough critic... just check my reviews.

The visuals look good though Doomsday looked a bit like clay. The comic book tie-ins were fun, but they are not exactly "loyal" and a few might be confusing for folks who dont read comics but its trivially easy for them to look it up if they care to (specifically the future dream). Acting was good all around although I think that Affleck is a miscast as was Alexander. The fight between Batman and Superman was ok but inconsistent with Superman's powers. The fight against Doomsday was great but very short lived and as stated earlier, not exactly consistent with the comics but that is not a requirement.

Lets look at the flaws. Waaaaaaaay too much going on in one film. They took two major comic book stories and pressed them into one film. The problem with this is that character development suffers and that is exactly what happens. Bruce Wayne ends up getting more quality screen time than both Clark and Wonder Woman so the movie feels like a Batman story, with the other two characters thrown in as support. This would not be a bad thing if it were not for the fact that one of the two major plots was based on a major Superman story (Doomsday) that spanned many comic books. So here we have a major story line about Superman and Doomsday and it gets washed aside in favor of getting to know the dark side of Bruce Wayne.

The other problem I had is with Affleck... he did a good acting job but no matter how hard I try, I find him too goofy to be Batman and it killed immersion. His facial expressions are just funny... and not intimidating yet he is cast as something that is supposed to bring nightmares to people. I mean... he just didnt look right even with a mask on. He is simply too soft. When he says that the Wayne's were originally hunters, and walked off with a serious look on his face... I laughed because A) he is looks goofy and B) he played a character in a (great) movie called Good Will Hunting lol and that is about all he has in common with hunters.

Alexander was by far the most poorly written character. The problem with his character is that he is kind of dumb and his motives are just childish. His mannerisms are more like the Joker or Riddler than they are of a Luthor, who are usually well grounded and complex. Instead, Alexander is just another nut job. It simply was not believable that someone like him would be able to orchestrate all the things that happened but I suppose anything is possible... just look at politicians and many corporate executives.

Other than those points, there are plot holes in this movie and several minor issues but they all revolve around point #1 in that they tried to cram too much into one movie. The Doomsday arch should have been left to the next movie while the Batman v Superman battle should have remained the focus of this one with more screen time given to develop the plot and more character development for Superman who seemed to be somewhat lackadaisical in this movie.

Overall however it was a good movie and a fun time... again, from me, this is high praise. I want to see Superman again and I want to see Wonder Women and although I like Batman... whenever I saw Affleck I quickly got pulled out of the movie. This is no fault of his, he is an ok actor, but frankly Matt Damon would have been better and even that would be sort of funny to see. Collapse… Expand

But, you know, I still enjoyed it. If you like superhero movies, you should go and see it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La película no es genial, pero definitivamente no es ni mediocre y para nada mala. Hay ciertos puntos en los que coincido con la prensa, por ejemplo la actuación un poco exagerada e irritante jesse eisenberg, la cual no es demasiado acertada para el personaje. También podría decir que la Mujer Maravilla queda un poco descolgada en la historia y Superman sigue siendo aburrido. Me gusto bastante la actuación de Ben Affleck, con una personificación muy solida y sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que la vara venia bastante alta con la trilogía de Nolan, sin llegar a comparaciones ni nada por el estilo.
La aparición del resto de los integrantes de la liga de la Justicia, aunque sean solo escenas, fué interesante, aunque todavía faltaría saber acerca de Linterna Verde.
En resumen la película es recomendable para quien le guste este tipo de genero, y recomiendo que no entren a la sala con prejuicios acerca de los actores, la historia en relación a los comics y las anteriores peliculas.
Una sola critica muy grande, la verdad que es algo que me disgustó y como fan desde hace años y años de los Comics tanto de DC como de Marvel y otros, un error gravisimo: Batman mata personas.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich bin mit einem gemischten Gefühl ins Kino.
Nicht weil ich mich nicht gefreut habe, sondern weil Kritiker den Film in ein Bodenloses Loch treten.
Jetzt, nachdem ich ihn gesehen habe kann ich nur eines sagen.
Batman v Superman ist ein toller FIlm., wobei das Wort Toll für Genial steht !

Die Schauspieler passen alle wunderbar, ich sehe keinen einzigen als fehlplatziert an und bin begeistert von Ben Afflecks Darstellung als Batman.
Henry Cavil ist meiner Meinung nach der beste Superman der je über die Leinwand flog.
Jesse Eisenberg war in den Trailern zunächst Gewöhnungsbedürftig, hat mich jedoch vollkommen überzeugt, er hat den verrückten und doch genialen Lex Luthor sehr gut gespielt.
Gal Gadot als Wonderwoman wurde gut eingearbeitet und ich bin gespannt was man aus ihrem Charackter in den kommenden DC-Verfilmungen noch macht.
Amy Adams als Lois Lane finde ich auch in Batman v Superman super gut besetzt und Laurence Fishburne als Clark Kents Chef Perry White hat mich mit seinen Führungsstil mehrere male zum lachen gebracht.
Und der in die Jahre gekommene Alfred, gespielt von Jeremy Irons war eine gelungene Überaschung, auch in BvS versucht er Bruce Wayne mit Rat und ironischen Antworten bei klarem Verstand zu halten.

Zum Thema Sound und Bild bleibt nicht viel zusagen.
Die CGI-Effekte sind bombastisch, der Ton und der Soundtrack mischen sich perfekt zusammen und untermalen jede Szene im Film so gut das man im nachhinein beim anhören des Soundtracks jede einzelne Szene im Film in Gedanken abrufen kann.
Und eine besondere Erwähnung muss ich den 3D-Effekten zukommen lassen.
Schon am Anfang des Films wird man regelrecht überflutet mit einem Effektgewitter.
Ich persönlich habe in noch keinem Film solche schönen 3D-Effekte gesehen.

Die Geschichte die Zack Snyder und seine Drehbuchautoren da auf die Leinwand gebracht haben ist nicht sonderlich kompliziert, sie hat weder Logiklücken noch sonstige unnötige Szenen die man sich hätte sparen können.
Man sieht wie sich in Batman Hass gegenüber Superman aufstaut, durch Verlust, Angst und Machtlosigkeit.
Dieser Hass in Batman wird zu Wut und lässt ihn nicht mehr rational denken, er fixiert all seine Kräfte darauf einen Weg zufinden Superman zu töten.
Und während das geschieht leutet Warner Bros. das DC Universum ein, einige verstehen wahrscheinlich garnicht das Batman v Superman eine Einführung in die Justice League ist und damit sozusagen einer Ursprungsgeschichte gleicht.
Bis es zum Höhepunkt im Film kommt versucht man den Zuschauern viele Informationen zu vermitteln, nicht zuviele, den wie schon erwähnt findet man keine Lücken, einiges wird vielleicht nicht nocheinmal extra erwähnt, warum auch, entweder man kann es sich selber erklären oder man wartet bis verschiedene Themen in den nachfolgenden Sequels und Prequels wieder aufgenommen werden.

Zum Schluss bleibt mir nurnoch eines zusagen, ich bin mit einem Lächeln aus dem Kinosaal gegangen.
Der Film hat alle meine Erwartungen erfüllt und mich auf Fortsetzungen vorbereitet.
Lasst euch nicht von den sogennanten "Professionellen" Kritiken beeinflussen und schaut den FIlm einfach selbst an, dann werdet ihr sehen ob er euch überzeugt oder nicht.

Und danke an Zack Snyder und die gesamte Film- und Schauspielcrew für diesen großartigen Film.

I saw this movie tonight and made a few expectations to what might happen throughout the movie; even through moments many consider unexpected as I'm the kind of guy that does think outside the box, though I won't spoil anything here.

Most of the reviews you find from other "professional" critics would be mixed to negative and positive from the fans, even on Metacritic. What I thought of this movie was that it was thought out well and has made many points of the movie worth seeing; it's Batman versus Superman, the 'God versus Man' scenario that long-time fans have been waiting for and I guarantee you will not be disappointed at all with this movie if you're one of them.

However, not everything is flawless as one or two points of this movie has those moments; you'll catch on as it goes along, but those flaws are why the score is a 9 out of 10. By all means, this is a great movie; it has a collection of great actors like Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot; the CGI used is mind-blowing and the story has its many moments of surprises which caught me off-guard and that can only happen within well-written movies, games and TV shows.

Many reviews of the fans, both positive and negative I can agree on and why they thought of this but this short review of mine (if you can call it short) makes a summary of what was the best and worst moments of this movie.

Some may even think that the new Batsuit is a terrible design or that Ben Affleck isn't the greatest actor to fill the role of Bruce Wayne, but in all honesty, as long as this incarnation of Batman screams the "I am vengeance, I am the knight" pose, I'm fine with that.

So what I'm really trying to say here is watch the movie yourself, even if you're a fan or not of the Justice League; it is what some were waiting for and what were given is something that I consider a great constructive movie.… Expand

Noticing that,At first, I want to say that critic reviews are not really so far from truth, because besides BvS is a good and entertaining movie, it has several plot errors and comic winks that could be annoying for the regular spectator. Noticing that, the logic conduces me to rate this movie as a 5 or a 6 in the best case, but I can't do that. Why? Because Ben Affleck's casting, and his performance was without exaggerating, a complete dream. There's nothing bad you can say about his Batman after watching the movie, he was just 5/5, and he really steals the scenes. This is obviously powered by the initial rejection to Affleck's choice for the paper. Gal Gadot is a convincing WW, even with her short on-screen time, Henry Cavill is on MoS line, good, and Jesse Eisenberg does a 'jokered' Lex that looks like a tribute for me, and I liked it, just as I liked Heath's performance.
In the other side, Doomsday was just ridiculous.
In the overall, the movie is a nice show,but it has several problems.But if you like the bat, that will not matter at all, and you will enjoy just like I did, remembering when you were a child, or a teen, and seeing THE SAME Batman on screen played perfectly and perhaps dropping a tear seeing him.… Expand

Its essence is not in the conflict between Batman and Superman, but in some very important moral reflections about the divine and goodness in this cynical world of ours. The fighting sequences were good, the characters, well portrayed and there was a really interesting discussion about how people react to things that look "too good to be true".

What I liked the most is the meaning of "hero" the movie presents us: In Marvel movies, being a hero is cool, funny and popular, but here, it is a very big responsibility, a sacrifice. People you save today can be trying to kill you tomorrow, you will never please everyone and worst: By fighting for what is right, you may endanger the people you love the most.

This movie should be called Batman AND Superman, since the pointless fight between them was (thankfully) very short. But even if the title gives us a wrong impression about what to expect, this is a great movie. Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are great, and many relationships, like Lois and Superman´s (and even Batman and Wonder Woman´s in the end) are very beautiful to see.… Expand

I loved how Wonder Woman appeared in it. My personal favorite scenes were these: the warehouse scene with Batman fighting all of Lex Luthors men it was great, another scene I loved is with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman fight Doomsday, just phenomenal. This scene is by far the best scene and best fight scenes I've seen in movies was of course the fight between Batman and Superman. It's such a good fight they both get beat up, I liked Batmans tactics with his smoke bomb and using his Kryptonite gun to weaken Superman I like Superman literally beating Batman up and tossing him everywhere it was just awesome! I liked the end of the fight as when Batman throws Superman down a whole balcony to the bottom level of the building and soon he grapples him and swings him, really damaging Superman, and as expected, Batman wins the fight and right at the end Bats gets his Kryptonite javelin and almost kills Supes when Supes says that "they're (Lexs men) are going to kill Martha Kent" who is Supes human mother and the name Martha is Bruce mothers name (Batman is obviously Bruce Wayne) and Bats yells at Supes and that to me was a touching scene as Batman had a tough childhood losing his parents and this scene makes you feel sorry for Batman. The actors who played these characters, phenomenal, every one fitted their role they were all great.

Zack Snyder's follow up to his amazing film Man of Steel continues to explore the character of Superman in a very unique way. Taking inspiration from several stories (Injustice: Gods Among Us, Superman: Earth One, Kingdom Come to name a few)Zack Snyder's follow up to his amazing film Man of Steel continues to explore the character of Superman in a very unique way. Taking inspiration from several stories (Injustice: Gods Among Us, Superman: Earth One, Kingdom Come to name a few) Zack Snyder and writers David S. Goyer (Story) and Chris Terrio(Screenplay) showcase the aftermath and consequences of a world with Superman and a world that's first glimpse of Superman is through death and destruction (end of Man of Steel).
The story picks ups 18 months after the last film, but not before we get a dream sequence replaying Batman's origins, which serve as a window into Bruce's psyche as well as the battle of Metropolis through the eyes of Bruce Wayne (its pretty amazing how accurate they recreated the action, even down to timing). We get a great sense of what is driving Batman's paranoia with Superman.
We get at least 5 story-line's that meld together throughout the narrative perfectly. Giving each character something to do.
First we get Lois Lane's story arc in which an incident in Africa causes people to view Superman as an out of bounds type menace, who has no boundaries.
The second story-line involves Superman, who now has to deal with the ramifications of now having the world know who he is and his attempts to be the good man his father knew he could be. We get some great imagery that continues to bring the character to a more prominent light through tragedy. There is a scene when the Congress Hearing Explodes and we see his point of view within the destruction and can see the tear in his eyes, the hope he has going away, a scene I think was done perfectly by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL's score.
The 3rd story-line involves Batman and Bruce Wayne's continued focus on getting some Kryptonite that he knows will stop Superman once and for all. It's never fully explained how he discovered Kryptonite, but my guess is being the World's Greatest Detective he would have similar resources that Lex has and was able to discover it.
The fourth story-line of course involves Lex's manipulation of everyone, this story line weaves itself throughout the rest of the story-lines so in a way its not its own to begin with, but suffice it to say he's a huge reason what is going on happens.
The 5th story-line is the smallest and involves Wonder Woman's search for the a file that Lex has taken of her, proving she is not human and her and Bruce's discovery of other "Meta-Humans" setting up the DC Extended Universe. I felt this was done amazingly as it goes along with the rest of the this story but never feels intrusive.
Now on to the action, which again puts a huge smile on my face, the action between Batman & Superman is great and well worth the price of admission. It would have been nice to see an earlier fight showing that Batman has to test him first, but with the other stories going on its not a huge issue for me. The final fight between Doomsday, Superman and Wonder Woman, for me was even better and really gave us a great sense at what we can expect in Justice League: Part One and how amazing Zack Snyder understands these characters and their fighting style. The Batman fight scene we saw in the trailers is even better in the context of the film. To see Batman fighting MMA style, get mad and annoyed and even making tactical mistakes but never flinching just felt like I was reading a comic or playing one of the Arkham Games. Christopher Nolan must have seen those fight scenes and shook his head as to how bad his were.
The acting in the film is also top notch, Jesse Eisenber, who many claim is just doing a Joker impression, I felt played a psychotic Lex very well, he has three personalities, the rich spoiled playboy, the maniacal sadist and the personality we saw at the end. Hency Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne & Diane Lane all return and continue to amaze me with their depiction of these iconic characters. The new players being Ben Affleck, Jeremy Irons and Gal Gadot are a welcome addition, Affleck is definitely the new definitive Batman and it was fun seeing some of the future films teased (Red Hood anyone). Gal Gadot is only in a few scenes but she certainly steals the show, her fight scenes are great, loved when she was knocked down and smiled at fighting again, certainly makes me excited for the Wonder Woman film.
Jeremy Irons was seen the least sadly but his scenes are great. You can really see the chemistry between him and Affleck and it plays like you would see in Batman: The Animated Series or even The Batman.
The special effects and score I felt were even better than Man of Steel, you can see Hans Zimmer's love for these characters and Junkie XL's being bought on to do the Batman part of the score was great too.
As you see I rated this 4/5 out of 5. The only issue that is here that I hope they fix is the way it was edited, now I'm not saying the film was edited badly in the sense that you couldn't understand what was going on or it felt like the editor knew nothing of what he was doing, but it does go from one scene to another quite frequently. I understand the need to keep the film going, but its also important to savor the scene and let it talk to the audience.
Many criticized the film for not being coherent or being confusing to anyone who doesn't read comics and I will have to disagree. The film is the first part of a two part film. Its like how Superman: The Movie introduced Zod, Ursa and Non, setting up Superman II, this film was doing the same thing. I'm not gonna accuse those who didn't understand as being stupid either, but I do blame them for not paying attention and some for looking for things to hate. I saw this film once and understood everything, after seeing it a 2nd time I felt the viewing experience was even better and for me the best films are those you can watch over and over again and find something new.
I am so ready for Justice League: Part One… Expand

I think the casting is awesome, and the storyline is not deep... but is a super hero movie, do you remember?, t

the thing is, Zack Snyder uses a different approach for the story telling, and we aren´t used to it, and of course the stupid critics punishes because if it doesn´t include something about racism, slavery, or a surviving story, it is crap

Batman is based on Frank's Miller Character, but only a few know that, and everyone else was looking for the Christopher Nolan´s creation, or the tv characters, and the same goes with Superman, I hate when people says he loves a Character, but they only know one version of them.

I am not saying the movie doesn´t have downs, of course it has, WB wants so bad to catch up with marvel, that they are rushing so many things, but i hope, that eventually they realize that with some patience they can build a universe even bigger than Marvel.

And for the only-movie fans, DC has always been a in a different tone from Marvel in the comics universe, and no, they don´t have to be the same thing as Marvel.… Expand

Cavill is okay, Im English but I can tell his American accent is off at time but oh well he looks the part and thats the main thing.

Either Disney/Marvel has a bunch of critics in its payroll or critics somehow had unrealistically high expectations for this movie. The film in and of itself wasn't any worst than either of the Avengers movies. So an average score of 4 of out 10 is undeserved. It's the typical superheroes movies, which I usually give a 6. But I like darker superheroes movies so I give this one one more point. The batman fight scene against thugs were very well done; better than any fights in Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. The worst aspect of the movie is the terrible editing -- the movie jumps from one short scene to the next in quick succession without logical flow. Even though, the movie is pretty long, there's so much going on (but not many scenes truly contribute to lift the main story) that everything feels rushed and compressed. The Dark Knight was an equally long movie but scenes flow logically and each scene contributes to the movie. So the main problem with Batman v Superman is story-telling.… Expand

Batman vs. Superman has exceeded my expectations. I am very satisfied, although saddened by the backlashing Zack Snyder is suffering from "specialized" critics.

Complaints of negative reviews can be summarized to the following: 1)Batman vs. Superman has exceeded my expectations. I am very satisfied, although saddened by the backlashing Zack Snyder is suffering from "specialized" critics.

Complaints of negative reviews can be summarized to the following:

1) Forced / rushed plot.

2) Non "believable" universe.

3) Eisenberg was a bad choice to embody Luthor.

4) Superman has no charisma.

5) Film is too long.

My point of view:

1) Understandable. You can't deliver to comics fans so many spectacular sequences without paying a price. The plot really looks fragmented and a tad rushed at times, but not enough to ruin the experience.

2) This is the universe of comics, as I always wanted to see on screen. Zack Snyder won the antipathy of those arrogant critics when he dared turning his back to the "casual" audience, always so cuddled with traditional concessions by directors like Chris Nolan. Kudos, Snyder!

3) At first I also thought the choice weird, but the young man do convinces as one of very superior intelligence. If that was the main purpose, it worked well.

4) Snyder portrays a Superman still young and unconfortable with his condition as an omnipotent being. It is not time to be charismatic yet. Cavill is fine in the role, and for me, second only to Christopher Reeve.

5) This is the easiest: for those who expect to see little or no "comics material" in a movie about Batman and Superman, maybe half an hour had already been too much.

The best part is that thanks to Zack Snyder and Ben Affleck, Batman finally made his debut on the big screen, and with lots of amazing references from Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns.… Expand

But, what can I say? Personally, I enjoyed "Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice" - though, that isn't to say it's without its problems. Indeed it's nowhere near as focused and as cleanly plotted as its 2013 predecessor, but there really are a bevy of things to enjoy throughout. Ben Affleck's turn as Batman is arguably the most enjoyably rendition of the Caped Crusader to date - and considering that Affleck achieves this whilst sharing half the running time of the film with Henry Cavill's Superman, that's saying a lot. Speaking of Cavill, the English actor brings yet another interesting take on Superman to the table, giving the audience a lot to think about. Jessie Eisenberg's Lex Luthor may not please all filmgoers, but his effort is evident and he's definitely crafted one of the most memorable comic book film villains in recent memory. The cameos and easter eggs aren't exactly normie-friendly, but for this self-respecting comics fan, they delivered. Props to Zach Snyder for delivering another visually dazzling debate-starter.… Expand

I think this movie successfully setup a few different solo films I'm craving and it was visually interesting. Ben Affleck's batman has me interested and this movie makes me more interested in seeing the next Batman solo film than in seeing Snyder's next opening.

While I did enjoy the visual narrative of the film, I thought it was ultimately wasted on a hodgepodge of different storylines that seemed to have disregarded the film's center narrative in favor of packing it full of as many different ideas as possible. So while I do think the story may go in interesting places in the future, this film taken on its own merits did not necessarily work as the brooding piece about what is justice it seemed to want to be.

Nonetheless, I can still enjoy a bad film. Some of the new characters were enjoyable in ways that Snyder's superman is not, the lead-in for Justice League has piqued my curiousity, and the visuals here were better than Snyder's past outing. As someone who hated Man of Steel, I think this is an improvement on Snyder's vision for that movie but how far that will take this franchise and DC movie franchise is questionable to me at best. I would say this film certainly deserved its divisiveness.… Expand

mythological pantheon of comics' pseudo-pagan "deities". However in the "Man of Steel", and in the "300" sequel Zack has not simply played with a myths, but has tried to turn a myths into effective tool to represent
to mass audience real political problems and the genuine myth.

Mythology, long driven underground by rationalism and forced to act using guerrilla methods, appearing in popular culture in the forms of a "scientific" evolutionism, a "scientific" communism and racism, pacifism, humanism and democracy, nihilism and relativism, religious rites, is now boldly enters the scene through the comic book heroes, reviving the pagan pantheon.

Zack has used this modern manifestation of mythology as means to achieve something bigger. Although Christian symbolism was quite timid in the "Man of Steel", pulled into the myth by smuggling, the question of price of democracy in the sequel of "300" sounds quite vocally. But the new "Superman" audio-visually claims to be a complete mythological picture of the world - stunning spectacle with "grim realism" connected with excellent music and an explicitly referenced to the passion of Christ. Here we can see theodicy - "if God is all powerful, why does he allow evil?" - and allusions to rejection of Christ, His sacrifice, perversion of good and evil in today's world, demons putted in the place of angels, the fall of the world, which declared that "God is dead" and summoned demons under the guise of humanitarianism, to an unprecedented evil, hope for good and resurrection, and even the new Saul - Paul - embodied in Batman. Politics is not circumvented in the movie too: here is your "useful idiot" depicted by Holly Hunter, who believes in stuff like that good and evil are determined through dialogue, and here is degeneration of democracy into the rule of mob, regulated like a stream of water at the tap by mass media.

So, we have a full-grown modern myth, and it is pointless to try to criticize a myth from the standpoint of logic - a myth is not based on logical constructs, but on facts and imagination. A myth is a holistic view of reality, not its analytical description. Thus negative critical reviews looks ridiculous - whether those critics are furious because of Christian symbolism, or because of satirizing depicture of the left-liberal useful idiots - they are trying to deconstruct an audiovisual concept on words and letters which are not there, claiming a violation of rules of construction of non-existent sentences. Myths are immune to such kind of criticism, and the critics only expose themselves to be fools, set out to chop up the wind.

Snyder was able to deliver what he wanted to with his myth - he took advantage of modern mythology to undermine its own pagan foundations, dragging in it and actualizing Christianity with its complex ontological questions and insisting on the absolute good and evil, contrary to the beliefs in "dialogue" by left-liberal useful idiots. All these are contained in a beautiful, fascinating mythological form, realistic, gloomy, dynamic and visually stunning. With great score and a wonderful selection of actors - cynical Affleck, ironic Irons, detached Cavill, natural Adams, convinced Eisenberg and antic cold Gadot - all are in their due places.… Expand

This movie was one of the best me and my kids have been to in a long time. The plot wasn't hard to follow, the acting was superb, the action was intense. Affleck's Batman is by far my favorite. Dark, angry, brooding, paranoid, and profoundly dangerous. Cavill's Superman is sometimes a bit too internally conflicted, but the guy fits the suit well and they did a great job in this movie of developing the chemistry between he and Lois. I didn't read a bunch of comic books as a kid so I don't know what story lines are pissing off what people, but I do know this movie was very entertaining. This is a movie worth seeing, and I can't wait for Justice League. Did Snyder personally take a dump on all these critics front porches at some point in history? There is no explanation for this much hate. This movie is a triumph. Go see it.… Expand

I don't know if this is the sort of thing most movie goers are looking for? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

There were a few convenient incongruities that I feel served to cater to what folks were hoping to see in the movie, such as Superman and Batman's totally unnecessary fight. Why did Superman stop trying to talk to him? A simple explanation would have sufficed.

However, something must fund blockbusters.

Anyways, don't always believe the reviews. What averages across the population may not apply to you. For example... I have hazel eyes. Statistically they should be, or would more likely be, brown. Similarly, statistically you shouldn't like this movie. However, you maybe one of the outliers who does.

So enjoy if you do.

It is a follow-up to Man of Steel and the second movie in the DC Extended Universe. The main cast includes theBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a superhero film directed by Zack Snyder and written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer. It is a follow-up to Man of Steel and the second movie in the DC Extended Universe. The main cast includes the names of Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot.
The general public is concerned over having Superman on their planet and letting the "Dark Knight" - Batman - pursue the streets of Gotham. While this is happening, a power-phobic Batman tries to attack Superman.,Meanwhile Superman tries to settle on a decision, and Lex Luthor, the criminal mastermind and millionaire, tries to use his own advantages to fight the "Man of Steel".
I personally really liked Man of Steel and I. generally speaking, am a fan of Zack Snyder so going in to this movie I had really high expectations especially considering that I'm a huge fan of both Batman and Superman also.
I only watched the Ultimate Edition though, so that's what I'm going to be reviewing.
Though quite long at 3 hours and 2 minutes, this is one great movie with amazing sequences and extremely great looking visuals. I personally loved Batman v Superman, Ben Affleck is perfect as Batman and Bruce Wayne. Though everyone was criticizing the choice at first, now that is by far the most praised part of the movie. I believe he is the best on screen Batman/Bruce Wayne we've ever had. Henry Cavill impressed me on Man of Steel and he is just as good here. I liked the whole controversy involving Superman, some of the things that included him and his choices affecting him and his moral values. Gal Gadot was amazing as Wonder Woman. I simply adored her portrayal of the iconic character and her motives genuinely make sense. Jesse Eisenberg did not really bother me as Lex Luthor, I know mostly everybody found his performance flawed and he was probably the most criticized of the cast, but he works on the movie as a villain as he gets the story going.
The end fight between Batman and Superman is amazingly well shot and done. The visuals just felt so real and grim, I personally love that this movie is dark and the cinematography is just brilliant and fitting, so is the fantastic score. The whole Doomsday fight had, as the entirety of the movie, great visuals and even though the story line takes a back seat still it is a superhero movie first and foremost, so that'd great if everybody remembered. Nothing beats seeing the trinity on screen for the first time ever.
The little cameos from the Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman are brilliantly well though out, and just overall awesome.
I have heard a lot of negative reviews for the original theatrical cut, so I hope more people see this version of the movie and appreciate it more.… Expand

Spoiler review part
What i liked:
seeing the events of superman in the eyes of different characters and how it affected them. I thought it was cool to see what it was like from the outside looking in.
Batman's twisted character: as a comic book fan, I liked how dark his character was and how scary he should be to everyone else in his world. The scenes of him in the jail cell and in that random gotham place with the captives showed us how terrifying he is (and is supposed to be)
The action: the action was so good
The effects: the effects were amazing
The soundtrack: the sound track was outstanding
I also really liked how big the heroes seemed to be. You could really feel how powerful each one was and how non human they are when they fight. even the small aquaman scene looked epic. unlike other superhero movies, i liked how gigantic the characters here were.
The villain(/s) was(/were) a genuine threat. The impact of the villain(s) was felt. I feel like in other movies the villain ends up being a pushover and not really doing much, or not threatening as much. In this movie the villain was real and you could feel it.
I initially hated the casting for wonder woman, but I loved the actress in the movie. (also her themes song rocked)
Almost all actors were good except for lex.

What i didnt like:
very segmented and dragged out middle part. Lots of story related scenes that would confuse non comic readers, or people who did not pay close attention.
Batman felt a little **** at times. Batman's costume looked bad
Lex luthor was played horribly, actor was really bad, i didnt feel that he needed to play him as a psychotic person, and even when doing so, it was really cringy. he did not deliver.

------------------------------------
bottom line: I really liked the movie, enjoyed it a lot! There were a few things that made me cringe, but overall i had a good time watching it.… Expand

I'm just going to say it: I loved this movie. I don't know why people give it such a low score. This movie wasn't bad. Maybe because people nowadays are accustomed to the formula of Marvel movies that this movie, to them, seems boring; but II'm just going to say it: I loved this movie. I don't know why people give it such a low score. This movie wasn't bad. Maybe because people nowadays are accustomed to the formula of Marvel movies that this movie, to them, seems boring; but I assure you, it's not.

The first half of the film is a tense political drama about whether or not the world needs Superman, while the second half of the film shows us that it doesn't need just Superman, but also the rest of the superheroes. Yes, the movie is dark as compared to Marvel's, but to me it's a wonderful change of pace. I always praised DC's comics because they're so much darker, so much close to reality. It leads you to think, to reflect, and to question your morals. That's what this movie does.

Although, I do agree that up to the end of the film, there is a TON of CGI, but we kinda already expected that judging from the trailer.

In my opinion, if you read particular Batman or Justice League comics, you'd know that there are a lot of references to them in the film. Comic books such as The Dark Knight Returns, and Injustice have heavy references here. There are particular scenes that really come from these books, and for me it makes these movies better if you have knowledge of the comic books that they were influenced by. It's like the director or the writers giving you a little wink whenever these scenes pop up with these little references.

Overall, I enjoyed this film. I think Ben Affleck did a great job as Batman, and I never really liked Henry Cavill as Superman, but he did a better job here, for me, than he did in Man of Steel. I look forward to seeing more films with Ben Affleck as Batman.… Expand

(Hated Avengers 2 FTR) An excellent second installment into growing the DC universe. While I do understand that many traditionalists might have issues with heroes killing off villains, I think maintaining character expectation of pure untainted goodness overcoming a hostile world full of evil armies with heavy artillery and nukes all while never taking a life is both corny and unrealistic.
Wonder Woman is way cooler than I ever remember the character being. Batman, rugged and dark. Superman uber but still holds onto some of his purity.

My gripes:
Lex Luthor was a young whiney psychopath that happened to have a scientific mind. Far less sophisticated than earlier representations of Lex.
Doomsday (The badass of all badasses) was wasted by being deployed and destroyed so early in the saga. My thoughts also the same for Superman’s demise…. Again too early. The following implication of a resurrection, also too early. The movie was greatly harmed by wasting great long term assets for short term gains.
A definite must see if you’re not looking for the 100% traditional incarnation of these characters.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman v Superman is a great movie. Ben Affleck is also a magnificent Batman rivaling both Michael Keaton and Christian Bale. In my opinion though Jessie Hisnberg was a mistake as Lex. Now this movie covers two comics. The battle between Batman and Superman in the dark knight returns and the death of
Superman. As I previously said, yes Superman dies by the hands Doomsday. Most people will think that it's too early to kill off Superman in the second movie, but I thought it was ballsy move and I'm ok with that plus it's great motivation to start the JLA.

There are two ways to criticize this movie. 1. Compare it with Disney's Marvel and complaint that this movie lacks the colors, quips and fun tone of the MCU. 2. Actually review the movie by itself and the universe its set in.

I am going toThere are two ways to criticize this movie. 1. Compare it with Disney's Marvel and complaint that this movie lacks the colors, quips and fun tone of the MCU. 2. Actually review the movie by itself and the universe its set in.

I am going to go with number 2 way of reviewing it since all the "critics" from clickbait article websites chose to review this movie using method 1. Batman v Superman couldve been a perfect sequel to a perfect Superman movie(Man of Steel). It still is except for few minor imperfections and crazy casting of Jesse Eisenberg and Gal Gadot. Likes:

* Casting: Ben Affleck as Batman and that warehouse fight scene.
* Best Batman ever and those who say Nolan's Batman, just pick a Batman comic fromm your nearest comicbook store
* Superman's unconventional but true to comics portrayal
* Philosophical take on Superheroes
* Hans Zimmers score (I personally believe he shouldve won oscars for this movie)
* Atmosphere of the movie.
* Cinematography
* Zacks understanding of both Batman and Superman characters and the mythos. ( Pseudo fans might disagree just because they read a couple of Batman comics or read somewhere that Batman doesnt kill or Superman doesnt brood. He explores these characters very well and portrayed it fantastically in the movie).
* Lex Luthor's perspective on Superman.
* Every scene is shot like a beautiful painting by itself.
* The opening and ending scenes.
* Importance of human characters and their perspective on Superman.

Dislikes:

* Jesse as Lex Luthor.
* 3rd act seemed rushed. The titular fight scene shouldve taken place during the second act.
* Doomsday couldve looked better.
* Cameos of Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg couldve been avoided.
* Wonder Woman casting.

These are some of my genuine opinions on this movie. I do not understand how this movie is called mysogynistic or panned for having too much masculinity, too much destruction count as reviews by "professional critics". This is a serious movie and when people blame Zack for riding on the success of Nolan's The Dark Knight, guess what Nolan literally pitched the realistic, emotional Superman (Man of Steel movie) to Zack Snyder. Nolan trusted Zack Snyder would be the only director to translate the true mythos of DC universe to screen after watching Watchmen and 300.… Expand

game2onApr 2, 2016

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. FAAAR better movie than critics would like you to believe, but first I'm going to list out pro and cons:

Pros:

#Ideological conflict between the all powerful and the all knowing is been displayed.

#Lex Luther is better than many of his comic iterations. Intelligent but a psychotic billionaire who is on the same side of the spectrum of power knowledge as Batman. His transformation from a rich billionaire wanting to keep Earth "safe" from aliens to a totally hysteric villian echoes Alfred's comment about how powerlessness can make one evil. In the end, he becomes a powerless version of Donald Trump.

#Batman. Because goddamn Batman! He is considerably more violent that nearly all of his comic iterations. He is more like a battle hardened marine who has a keen eye for truth and ability to foretell future. His dream sequences are hints to what might be coming next. The much maligned scene where Batman decides to not kill Superman because of common mother's name is predictably misinterpreted. Bruce was seeing superman as an all powerful alien to risky to live, just like a nuclear warhead waiting to blow up. But as soon he realizes that he has a mother, that behind that impenetrable skin lives a human like him what makes him realize his folly.

#CGI is very decent unlike people would like to believe. It perfectly renders the larger than life supernatural powers that are Superman, Wonderwoman and Doomsday, clashing with each other. The Bruce vs Clarke fight is relatively tame and "realistic" but is alright because Superman is attacked with cryptonite gas, twice.

#Finally we get to see Wonder Woman live action and the god that lives behind that armor.

#Sweet sweet justice league cameos by both Flash and Aquaman.

#The DCEU vibe is there as well as the Injustice and Frank Miller undertone.

Cons:

#Bit lengthy but that wouldn't matter if you're instantly hooked at the premise.

#Alfred's father figure role wasn't properly discovered.

#There are too many mysteries than remain unsolved which makes me already want the Director's cut.

WELL DONE ZACK SNYDER. BvS is a fantastic movie by all propositions if you are fan of movies that are dark and toy with ideas. If you are here for Marvel like gags and fun break, you're out of luck. This movie is not for you.… Expand

The acting is solid, the action is fun and plentiful, and the story is pretty good. Most surprising of all was how well Ben Affleck did as Batman/Bruce Wayne. I was VERY skeptical of Affleck's casting, but I'd say he's one of the top actors to take on the role, if not the best. Shocking, I know, but give him a chance and keep an open mind.

The worst part of this film is all of the slow motion and overly dramatic, corny shots. Gotta blame the director. Very amateurish. Also, cutting down on the stupid slow motion shots probably could've cut some of the films epic length. This film also makes use of the toned down colors from Man of Steel in a big way, and it came across like someone going over the top with instagram filters. The only other negative I saw was the lack of dialogue. As great as the acting was, the script did not give them a chance to shine. There was ample room for witty banter (maybe even some comedy), introspection into characters' thinking, backstory, etc. Maybe they could've given the characters a chance to talk, if they'd cut back on all of the slow motion posing.

Anyway, keep an open mind and give this movie a chance. It'll surprise you. (would've given the film a 9, but Holly Hunter is in it.)… Expand

I really didn't like Ben Affleck because of Gigli, but the guy is a bad ass Batman, a crazy, messed-up Batman. The rest of the cast was just as amazing. I was entertained and everything was basically Top Gear cinematography quality.

So is there really in a place in the world for movie critics still? I can not understand how they are slating this movie? But, at least the box office return and fan fare are proof enough that this is going to be a cult classic. Can't wait for the extended Batman vs. Superman. Entertaining and brilliant.… Expand

To find a movie that not only makes sense, but also makes another movie to have sense it's a hard thing. To find it in an action movie, harder. If it also is a movie of the world's finest heroes, the task is almost impossible. That isTo find a movie that not only makes sense, but also makes another movie to have sense it's a hard thing. To find it in an action movie, harder. If it also is a movie of the world's finest heroes, the task is almost impossible. That is BvS:DoJ.
The first time I watched it I felt it was heavy, "as a tank driven with a crank-set" I said when I left the theater; the second time was smoother. Now I'm craving for a third.
Is it a fun movie? Not at all. Is it a good movie? I still don't know. Is it a generative movie? We'll see. Is it a movie you should watch? Yes, definitely; even if you've never read a single comic book. This movie appeals to the deeply rooted knowledge that we have for just living in this era.
Fascism, authoritarianism, discrimination, distrust and the decay of the modern world; but also the hope of redemption in unity and justice.
This movie is a surprising feature in it's own, watch it just because it exists and, most of all, because you will be amazed for it's beautiful cinematography. Every shot is a picture you could frame.
As I heard a critic quoting Man of Steel "'They'll race behind you. They will stumble. They will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun", that's what this movie is about". I hope that this is what this movie will mean.… Expand

After seeing this movie twice I went from liking it to loving it! -I love what they've done with Superman. He's at a point where he sees no matter how much good he does there will always be those who put a spin his deeds.**Spoilers**

After seeing this movie twice I went from liking it to loving it!
-I love what they've done with Superman. He's at a point where he sees no matter how much good he does there will always be those who put a spin his deeds. The scene where they had the people on talk shows and only one person says maybe he's not a God or a demon but just a guy trying to do the right thing hit the nail on the head.
-I loved what they did with Lex! His motivation was that he needed to be the one with the power, with meta humans alive especially one like superman he could never have that. Like he says he has all the knowledge of who those beings are but no power over them. Hints the knowledge withought power is paradoxical line. Also it seems like Lex found something out on the kryptonian ship that started driving him little bit insane.
-Lex is able to take over the Kryptonian ship because it still had the master key in it. Remember in Mos Zod says that key has the power to overwrite previous protocols.
-This batman isn't stupid he's just driven and angry and Lex is genius enough to know how to play his emotions just right. So look at it more like Lex is crazy smart just like in the comics.
-I think Batman also misinterpreted the flashes message, and it reinforced he was doing the right thing.
-I love that superman sacrificing himself mad batman re-evaluate how he was doing things and made him feel like he failed the idea superman actually represented.
-Doomsday wasn't the best thing ever but it wasn't so bad it ruined the movie for me. Plus the fight and seeing bats, sups and wonder women working together was AMAZING!
-Was killing superman now any less impactful than it would ever be? Really you know it's not going to be permanent matter when they do it. I think Snyder has some mad balls doing this and the impacts to the story are awesome. Superman's sacrifice is the catalysy to bringing the meta humans together and creating the justice league.
-Wonder Woman was amazing
-Ben Affleck is the best batman

My only real complaint is that you can tell scenes were cut for time. Other than that I'm pumped for what's coming next! 9/10 for me… Expand

What that means is that for better or for worse, this is a comic book movie made for comic book fans. And unfortunately for Zack Snyder, comic book fans can be pretty harsh critics. Snyder does not do himself any favors by including a polarizing CGI villain (as seen in the trailers) and perhaps an even more polarizing Lex Luthor, played by Jesse Eisenberg. To say that this movie is dark would probably be an understatement for most viewers but this is the Batman that many fans have been waiting for and Ben Affleck delivers. Not only as the dark knight but also as billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. While it's great to finally see Wonder Woman on the big screen, Gal Gadot really shines as Diana Prince and Jeremy Irons is perfect as Alfred Pennyworth. The pacing is great until it runs into a brick wall of 90's nostalgia but even that can't stop two of the world's finest superheroes.… Expand

I think the movie got off to a slow start and some of the sub plots were just not necessary and could have been omitted. Although the start was slow and at times boring, it was essential for the overall plot of the movie's title. But once the action starts unfolding, its amazing. Did it exceed my expectations? No. But it didn't fall way short either like the reviewers want us to believe. I actually rated it an 8.5/10 and that's because of the slow pacing start. But go see the movie for yourselves and don't listen to the critics who seem like they had their reviews already printed before they saw the film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My expectations from Zack Snyder and Warner bros was just better than Man of Steel. Which I thought was a good film with some problems, it had mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
The film starts with Thomas and Martha Wayne being murdered………AGAIN. However I do think that Zack Snyder put a very nice and different style to it than anything done previously. It then picks up from the end of man of steel but in Bruce Wayne’s perspective, which I thought was done absolutely brilliantly. Especially when he runs into the dust cloud caused by superman and zod destroying his building. One of the very few emotional scenes was when Bruce saves the little girl from the rubble of the building. In particular when he asks her where her mother is she points at the destroyed building, you really feel the “Darkseid” ( pun intended ) of the superman/zod fight and the human impact it has had. This also really made me support Bruce Wayne and he hatred of superman due to the destruction and loss of live in that whole opening.
With that in mind the dream or nightmare sequences involving Bruce Wayne I thought were absolutely fantastic and cleverly made. The parts that stand out for me are the graves pouring with blood with the bat jumping out, which even made me scared and makes me wonder about the 12A rating ( in the UK ). Also the desert sequences with the omega symbol and Parademons, hinting at Darkseid, is absolute comic book film gold. Dark, gritty and visually stunning as well as fulfilling the dawn of justice part of the title in this film. The final dream sequence involved the Flash, which I was pleasantly surprised by, was again foreshadowing the future of the universe whilst introducing us the Ezra Miller as the flash. I thought it looked visually stunning and helped the story, and maybe not just for this film is Zack Snyder hinting at the Flashpoint comic.
The middle part of the film unfortunately it is erm…………..a little bit boring and too convoluted. This unfortunately falls on the head of screenwriter Chris Terrio which I was very pleased by his acquisition. The film in the middle part is messy, with a lot of individual stories being told at once. What the studio should of done is had all these stories with amazing potential and let them have their own film. For example Superman dealing with the consequences of the fight with General Zod. This one and others could have and should have been given more time to be stretched out so the audience could be more engaged in the story, especially for the controversial ending of this film.
Finally after about 140 minutes into the film we get what wanted, Batman v Superman. Well is it really Batman v Superman or is it just Batman against Superman, because from what I can see Superman doesn't have as strong a dislike towards batman as batman does towards him. Especially considering that the only reason he has flown to Batman is so he can convince him to team up and fight Lex Luthor, so superman never really wanted to fight Batman that much. However the fight itself once again is pure comic book gold, it is dark and brutal and truly fantastic. Is it a little too short? Did we see too much of it in the trailers? The answer to those questions is probably, doesn't mean that I didn't have a smile from ear to ear whilst watching it. The climax of the fight is batman holding the kryptonite spire ready to kill superman, however due to the shortness of the fight and the build up before it the emotion of the scene in my view doesn't hit home as my as it should. This again is to do with the screenplay of the film and the up and down pacing of the film, because they so desperately want to get onto the dawn of justice part of the film. The MAIN reason for Bruce not to kill superman is because both there mothers share the same name!!!!!!!!!………….come on Warner bros and DC really is that the best you could come up with. Throughout the film batman has had this clear hatred towards superman, which was handled brilliantly, and then with a flick of a switch they are best friends because there mothers share the same name. I would of been fine with it if they had batman and superman share a little bit a dialogue between each other explaining the situation that they are in, and superman convincing batman why he is not his enemy.
Fast forwarding the final fight with doomsday looks amazing but yet again doesn't carry much emotion weight to the scenes because it is rushed. The introduction of wonder woman was a incredible scene of the film and well worth a watch. The film includes a number of great references to the Dark Knight Returns and The Death of Superman, which is done really nicely. I believe that the decision of “killing” Superman was very ballsy by Zack Snyder but effective , although we know he will be alive for Justice League Part One next year. All in all this is a good film with a number of plot errors and focusing too much on setting up future films.… Expand

I'm surprise at the negative reaction from some people. This film is better than most of the X-Men films (with the except of maybe Days of Future Past) and it is better than Age of Ultron, Iron Man 2 and 3, Thor: The Dark World, and any of the transformers movies. We get he best version of Batman on film to date (which is not easy task after Nolan/Bale); we get and enigmatic and powerful female hero in Wonder Woman, a simple but effective setup for the Justice League, and a great final battle. The visuals are awesome, the score powerful (love the Wonder Woman track) and the Easter eggs are plentiful if you are a DC fan. Lex could be controversial, but even then it is better than all previous cinematic version of Lex combined. Some people may get lost if they don't pay attention, it is unapologetically a super hero movie. Overall, the movie is entertaining (didn't even feel the 2+ hours) and it is successful in setting up the dawn of the Justice League. See it for yourself, it is well worth the price of admission.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My actual score is an 8.5 out of 10 and my oh my what a doozy it has been with the split between people loving it, and the contrary. I have spent more than an adequate amount of time reading reviews from all over the internet whether it be from a critic or the audience. The critics reviews seem to be copying one another, with saying things like, "it is incoherent in the first half". "There isn't much fun to be had". The tone is too grim throughout leaving it "humorless". It is "swept over by visual effects reducing a powerful story". My opinion after seeing this malarkey time and time again from these so called professional movie reviewers, is that they have fallen into a cacophony of Marvel formula style superhero movies. I would bet on the fact that if this film were to have been released near the time frame of when Marvel was building up to 2012's Avengers, that the current reviews would be drastically different and more positive because most of these critics are allowing themselves to sink into a specific tone that has been set for how superhero movies are to supposedly be made throughout the past 8 years.

BvS was a great way to start up the DC universe, aside from some plot "inquiries" I will call them instead of "holes". Narratively speaking, the switch from Batman trying to crush Superman to then saving his mother could have been built up in a stronger fashion. In real time of the film itself, this switch feels too abrupt since there wasn't enough story to back up the fact that not only was Batman afraid of what Superman might become leading him to feel as though he needed to be confronted, but that there is also a sense needed of Superman becoming an ally. This was one of the biggest points that failed a lot of the audience. Him simply siding with Superman in lieu of deep-seated emotional trauma wasn't just enough to make it fully believable. Especially since he was seconds from cutting his head off with that spear. Why not include Batman accepting both possibilities (friend or foe) throughout the film? Other than that flaw, pretty much all other complaints on the plot seem to be either asinine or forgivable due to the fact that only so much can be crammed into one film before moans of longevity accumulate.

The other mentionable up sides to this Zack Snyder film, are by far the overall performances of our three heroes. Affleck received much hate prior to the film's production, and to no surprise of my own, was he excellent. In addition, the costume for Batman is probably my favorite of any previous iteration. Cavill reprised his role, and brought what he was given (directively speaking) to full potential. I love his interpretation and look for Superman. He is what Hugh Jackman is to Wolverine, the perfectly cast actor for the job. And oh how I want to see Superman use his ice breath! This is two installments now without as little as much of a puff, from this distinguishing ability. Also, some more of those distinct Superman uppercuts where he clasps his hands together, wouldn't hurt either. Wonder Woman, played by Gal Gadot brings magic to the screen with this first live action portrayal in a blockbuster film. It was a very exciting moment to see her presence finally embrace the big screen. Worth noting, is the score specifically made for her character; it was one of the best I have heard for any hero yet. Maybe even on par with Hans Zimmer's prior work on the Dark Knight. Aside from the heroes, Jesse Eisenberg's take on Luthor had me convinced of his lunacy and ultimate strive for his ability to be amongst the powerful demigod that is his main rival, Superman.

Overall, I am perplexed by the amount of negative feedback from some people but am one of many that happened to love this film. Looking forward to a second viewing. Congratulations to the cast and crew behind this large step for the DC cinematic universe. Thanks for reading.… Expand

Overall this films was absolutely exhilarating visually and auditory, story was very keen and interesting, but there was just way too much going on. Character wise, this movie had it all. Batman was absolutely thrilling (gave me goosebumps), superman is well surprisingly better represented, lex luthor was well crazy, awkward, weird but still decent, wonder woman played out tremendously and Doomsday is just good enough. So for those of like DC comics, Over-the-top action sequences followed up by Snyder's directorial vision and few easter eggs (*cough *cough Joker) and plot holes, here and there. Then this is the FILM FOR YOU...... if not however just watch it, you're bound to enjoy it either ways.
P.S no I'm not a fan of Marvel nor DC comics. I'm a fan of Darkhorse :)

People accusing it to be "gritty" or "dark", have to understand this is not some cheesy family friendly superhero flick like Avengers and such, there's not prince charming awakening the sleeping beauty and no happy ending.

I felt that Batman had reached his peak with the Dark Knight Rises and it would all be destroyed by this movie and Ben Affleck. I did not like the guy and his acting.

The movie surprised me, a lot. Everyone in the cast did a really good job. What amazed me the most was that Affleck showed us another side of Batman. Bale's Batman has one rule, Affleck's Batman has no rules. He will kill the bad boys.

The movie is gritty and dark, and it is only the PG13/Teen version. I cannot wait for the R version coming out this summer. I feel like the PG13 ruins super hero movies because nobody can die and it is all a bunch of fighting with their fists, but Znyder really distances Justice League from the Avengers' family friendly appeal.

I wish that Wonder Woman had entered the movie earlier, however, I guess she was kept till the end to "force" people to watch her own off-shoot movie. It is all about money people.

The poor ratings by the critics compared with the viewers' rating show once again that critics live in a bubble where they must distance themselves and remain the elite. Do not listen to their reviews. Look at what other people have said instead.

The only bad thing I can say about the movie is that there seems to be some loop holes in the story. I think that they cut too much content out of the PG13 version that the R rated version might do better. We will have to see.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a very fun movie to watch, at least action wise. It really is a pretty good film. It sure has its glaring issues, which are pretty cringeworthy and immediately spot-able when you watch the film, but in the end, I came out of the theater with mostly positive thoughts. Lex Luthor in the film isn't done as the comic book counterpart, he was more like The Riddler (from Batman Forever) or The Joker, but a very crazy, and somewhat silly Joker. The ending is so emotional, which I won't spoil! Batman is absolutely amazing and the best part of the film, without a shadow of a doubt. Doomsday, unfortunately, looks really bad and (minor spoilers) just kept on exploding, which kinda took me out of the experience. This is a pretty dark film, with one scene which was incredibly funny and I laughed very loudly - great humor in one scene! Also, in the first hour there were quite a bit of boring scenes, but they drove the story forward so I can't say anything. This film is worth watching, but if you don't know too much about these characters or anything, you might not like it AS MUCH as I did.… Expand
