Batman v Superman was doomed from the start. Not only did it have to live up to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, but it also was always going to be compared to Marvel's Avengers, all while having to be fresh and original. The film isBatman v Superman was doomed from the start. Not only did it have to live up to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, but it also was always going to be compared to Marvel's Avengers, all while having to be fresh and original. The film is no where near as terrible as most critics are making it out to be, but it's biggest flaw is that it is not a 'great' film. BvS was under pressure to please both Avengers and Dark Knight fans, so anything less then perfect would not please fans.

The movie has too much to explain and too little time to do so. Most of the film revolves around explaining origins and past events, rather then letting the films events play out. A Batman origin movie would of helped with this, allowing them to introduce Ben Affleck's Batman while explaining his back story then releasing the cross-over movie. I also dont care for the casting of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, as I always saw Eisenberg rather then Luthor. Most importantly, BvS spends too much time setting up the DC extended universe, instead of being a good stand alone film.

Batman V Superman is not a terrible movie and I recommend it to all comic book fans.But it is also a messy film with a ridiculous run time of 2hr 33min for a superhero movie. I thought Ben Affleck's Batman was great and it is worth going to see the movie for the fight scenes alone. But in the end Batman V Superman is an average film, not an amazing one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Acting was amazing, besides that of "Alexander Luthor" . Movie plot points seemed way too convenient and almost disrespectful to the audience at how dumb the writers must think we are (having lexcorp actually make the symbols for cameos on files, how easy it was to make doomsday, how Lex Luthor literally had no motive, how the Somalia scene didn't even need to be there i mean come on superman doesn't use bullets and kill people) i could go on forever at how certain points were unnecessary. Action and acting was superb but huge plot holes throughout and seems very chopped up in the first hour and a half. Jesse Eisenberg was a terrible casting choice. this movie had so much potential but fell short and the only thing keeping it higher than a 4 is Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jeremy Irons, and the meager amount of Gal Gadot… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hint: Watch the trailers and u got all the film and u can avoid 2.34 hrs, its ALL in there, literally.
Review: "for true comic fans" ive readed, not quite, to watch and somewhat understand the whole film u must have knowledge of Dark Knight Returns, Death of Superman, Flashpoint and ofc Man of Steel, so its not made for fans, u NEED to be a fan... nevertheless the film is very flawed there, with lots of creative ideas but never landed quite well. Eisenberg's Luthor is the perfect example. Affleck as batman is very descent (except he broke the "only rule" several times) but as Wayne is the worst: unsympathetic, dull, bitter, ever-angry, no quite clever (since WW outwit him and cant find a whole ship), or intelligent (since basically was manipulated by Luthor). The plot is forced to try to motivate the unnecessary and unmotivated fight that end up lasting 4-6 minutes with a very lame ending, making me believe that the fight was just cause its the film's name. Doomsday origin is believable but the need of kickstart DCU they wasted such great character. Wonder Woman was GREAT, Gal Gadot was the best of the film, too bad she had too little screen time. The film definitely didnt deliver the expectations and the hype but cant blame the actors, only direction.… Expand

La historia inicia con un breve repaso delDemasiados comprometidos con lanzar el Universo Cinematográfico de DC recibimos “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”, un atiborro de material que da como resultado una película solo aceptable.
La historia inicia con un breve repaso del origen de Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck), y su experiencia durante los acontecimientos de “Man of Steel”, donde inician sus preocupaciones sobre Superman. Mientras que Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) lidia con las opiniones divididas de la sociedad, que se debate si es un salvador o una amenaza.
El contenido es muy variado, se puede rescatar la forma de encarnar imágenes icónicas de los cómics, las actuaciones de Affleck como Batman y Jeremy Irons como Alfred o el apartado visual durante las peleas.
Lo que resta son los vacíos argumentales, principalmente las motivaciones de los protagonistas para enfrentarse, haciendo que el elemento más esperado termine siendo forzoso y confuso. También la visión arcaica sobre el rol de la mujer, quitándo importancia a los personajes para hacer damiselas en apuros.
Este film quiso ser Marvel, “The Dark Knight Returns”, Wonder Woman, “Trinity”, “Batman versus Superman” y Doomsday en un solo paquete, cuando solo el arco de Batman contra Superman hubiese sido más que suficiente.
El motivo porque trascendieron esos cómics es porque cada una era su propia historia, es cierto que hay que comprometer el material cuando se adapta al cine, pero no con a costo de perder el espíritu que lo hizo especial en su momento.… Expand

As a comic book fan, I honestly had hopes for this movie. I was disappointed by the loose backstory they gave Batman; however, a proper backstory would have taken at least another movie, and with this coming out so soon after the Dark Knight trilogy, it's understandable why they chose to leave it out. My biggest problem was how much they tried to cram into this movie. Marvel took five movies to introduce the main members of their Avengers team; DC tried to do that in one movie. the result: train wreck. My final problem was with how lame Doomsday looked.… Expand

I'll get right to the point with this movie as I've been eagerly waiting for its release for almost 3 whole years.

It's a decent superhero movie, but it's still a mile away from a genuine breakthrough. Dawn of Justice is undeniably darkI'll get right to the point with this movie as I've been eagerly waiting for its release for almost 3 whole years.

It's a decent superhero movie, but it's still a mile away from a genuine breakthrough. Dawn of Justice is undeniably dark and thrilling at some points, with some eye-popping visuals and a bit of mystery scattered here and there. However, it is also pretty much unfocused on a narrative aspect, with uneven character development and a pacing that's out of control as its villains. People said this film is too dark which is not to everyone's taste, but that's not the actual case. Being dark is not an excuse for being humorless. Even the slightest part of humor found in this movie feels satirical and awkward.
Take a look at Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. The trilogy is very bleak as well, but it has a far more structured story, fascinating characters ( which often came with a thought-provoking backstory ) and some humor that balances it. Not to mention the philosophy behind the movies are so rich and relatable that it's still hotly debated even until this day.
Dawn of Justice certainly dwells on the philosophical elements, but most of the time it's only hinted and briefly brought up, instead of providing any take on morality that would have pondered in a viewer's mind long after they watched it. Also, Snyder's vision of Superman, while still refreshing, is totally out of character and worse, derivative of the brutal Batman in some ways ( there's even an article that writes about this issue). Conversely, Ben Affleck's raged Batman stands out as the movie's real strength.

In short, Dawn of Justice is an ambitious effort from Zack Snyder that aims to be both a golden breakthrough of superhero films and a gritty, thought-provoking crime thriller that takes on social issues. However, at the end of the day, we're still left with the ultimate truth - justice is far from dawning, yet.

One of the major points I have to criticize is the frequent appearance of references to comic books (flashbacks for example). Those might be fun for people that are really involved in the universe but I find them generally (and that might be due to my lack of knowledge) confusing and in this movie in particular annoying as well.… Expand

They showed me that the world only makes sense when you force it to". This phrase encapsulates Batman's worldview and is very similar to the psychology of Niccolo Machiavelli. This is essentially what our culture has become. In this postmodern world, it is encouraged to view life through a selfish lens rather then lens from our creator and Savior. This worldview is consistently thrown into movies, music, and art as a way to lead us astray from what the Word of God says which is the only truth. As a Bible believing Christian and follower of God, I view life as a created being of God who was made to honor him here on Earth. God makes it clear in scripture how he sees the world and how we should live in it. In the book of Genesis, God makes this declaration. “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground” (NIV). The human body is after God’s image only as being the means whereby man gains dominion over the Earth. God first saw us as the rulers of his perfect creation. After the fall, our purpose was regained through Jesus Christ. He declares in Matthew 16:24-26, “Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? Christ is calling us as humans to follow him and live a life that honors and glorifies him rather than ourselves which is polar opposite of what Batman is preaching. Jesus Christ intended our lives and our Christian walk to be in direct correlation to the life he lived rather than what we think we make life to be.… Expand

Yes, the cinematography is gorgeous and yes, there are a few moments that shine, but there are plenty of plot problems that are hard to ignore. The movie leaves you with more questions about what happened in the movie itself, rather than the future movies it intends to set up. Also I didn't think it was possible to overstuff a 2.5 hour movie, and I really hope the 3 hour cut is more bearable.
I definitely recommend watching it if you haven't already to form your own opinion, it's worth that at least.

Nowhere near as bad as the reviews suggest, but also nowhere near the high bar set by The Dark Knight Trilogy, nor even near Marvel's best (Iron Man, Winter Soldier, Civil War etc). For all the backlash from his casting, Ben Affleck wasNowhere near as bad as the reviews suggest, but also nowhere near the high bar set by The Dark Knight Trilogy, nor even near Marvel's best (Iron Man, Winter Soldier, Civil War etc). For all the backlash from his casting, Ben Affleck was absolutely superb as Batman, maybe the closest we'll get to the true dark nightmare that is Batman from the comics. Gal Gadot was also brilliant as Wonder Woman, even though her time in the movie is pretty short; and Hans Zimmer's score was, as you'd expected, fantastic.

But for these great things there are so many things wrong with it. The plot is a muddled mess, confusing and out of pace. Whether it's the final editing or the overall script I do not know. Jesse Eisenberg was absolutely the wrong person to play Lex Luthor. Too over-the-top and over reliant on stupid coincidences, left from Man of Steel and more introduced in this movie. An emotionless Superman carries over from Man of Steel, and his character development deviates in the wrong direction. The teasers for the upcoming Justice League movie felt out of place and just pointless in relation to the plot.

This movie really should've been one of the movies of the year. Instead I was left speculative about the future of the DCEU. For the comic book fan, this movie will be great. But for anyone else, be prepared to be disappointed.… Expand

It has great ideas and stories, every puzzle piece is there, this massive project had all of the recourses and manpower to make it work. But i just doesnt because what makes a movie great is a good director and screenwriter, and Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice has neither. The director Zack Snyder is a decent director, but he simply cannot tell a story, and handle characters properly. Then, the screenwriter. David S Goyer is a very solid screenwriter, he wrote the Nolan Batman Trilogy, which are all fantastic movies. But the screenplay of Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice is just so bad, it has a convoluted plot that is all over the place and too many characters whose motivations are mostly contrived and infuriatingly inconsistent. (Captain America Civil War however has even more characters, but that screenplay feels so natural and well fleshed out. Something Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice does not.) Another problem i had with the screenplay is literally after almost every scene, i had the feeling i missed something in the previous one, the scenes just did not fit together properly. This may be the screenwriter's fault, or the Editors fault. Who knows. The shoehorning in of characters that are planned to come, was so blatant and awful. If they had just showed a quick frame of a picture, it would've been good. But here they pay attention to it so fiercly with a shot holding on to that one single line up picture for about 10 seconds. Then there is usage of camera footage just to enhance the plot and introduce newer character, which is probably the most lazy screenwriting possible.

Now i have the main problems out of the way, let's talk about ''positive'' things.
Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice is in my humble opinion, better than Man of Steel. Not a more well-made film, but better in the sense that it's much more interesting (kind of) than Man Of Steel, which was a snooze fest. Another positive thing is: It has batman, and a shirtless ben affleck training montage. What more do you want XD. Gal Gadot was pretty good, however underused and only shows up at the end for 20 minutes. I thought Jesse Eisenberg wasnt that bad. Alot better than i had initially expected, but he still has those awful, almost overacting moments. But for the most part he was good.

All in all, Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice is by no means a good film, but i do think it is getting bashed a bit a too hard. The 27% it has now is really low. Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice has it's moments, it is somewhat interesting and entertaining in some parts, so i will give it 3/5 stars.

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice is a lesson for any to-be screenwriter, how NOT to write a screenplay.… Expand

Bueno empecemos con una realidad y es que esta película fue una de la más esperadas para este año desde que fue anunciada en la Convención Internacional de Cómics de San Diego de 2013 y ciertamente se rumoreaba mucho sobre este film y comoBueno empecemos con una realidad y es que esta película fue una de la más esperadas para este año desde que fue anunciada en la Convención Internacional de Cómics de San Diego de 2013 y ciertamente se rumoreaba mucho sobre este film y como toda película de superhéroes pues tuvo una GRAN campaña de marketing siempre apuntando a que fuera un éxito y lamentablemente esa no fue la realidad.

Empecemos con los FX. A mí me encantaron en realidad, fueron demasiados buenos y eso nadie lo puede negar pero el problema es que una película no puede ser solo efectos especiales sino que debe tener un buen guion, unas buenas actuaciones y una excelente dirección pero no estoy diciendo ni afirmando que en esta película estuvo escasa de estas tres (3) mencionada sino que el director no supo sobrellevar las cosas. El guion tuvo sus altas y bajas como en cualquier película pero ¿Que sucedió en realidad? ¿Por qué no fue muy aceptada por la crítica?

En mi punto de vista es que hubo mucho parlamento (diálogos muy largos y en algunas escenas innecesarios) que desviaron la atención del público a lo que ellos querían y ¿Qué era? Pues la pelea de Batman y Superman, el día con la noche, la luz con la oscuridad y pare de contar las semejanzas que le ponían. La acción duro poco y eso no era lo que quería el espectador. Las actuaciones a mi parecer estuvieron muy buenas, muy limpias y por supuesto muy profesionales pero seamos realistas de que actores famosos no hacen a las películas famosas.

Recuerdo que en el año 2008/2009 (no recuerdo muy bien), tuve la oportunidad de ver Superman: Doomsday que a mi parecer me pareció una excelente película animada en donde se expone la muerte de Superman a causa de una pelea con Doomsday (alienígena) y en la película Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice si se muestra lo que ya todos sabían pero le falto mucho mas.

Al final del día todo se encierra en un popular dicho “Todos tienen gustos y colores diferentes”. Si no la has visto, te invito a que vayas al cine o si no, puedes comprar el bluray y verla en tu hogar para que tu des tu punto de vista.… Expand

It spent so much time playing catchThe movie began slowly, introducing the backstory of Bruce Wayne and quickly jumping back and forth to scenes of other characters. The theme of pacing and editing, to me, was a major pitfall of this movie. It spent so much time playing catch up by introducing so many new characters all at once that it hindered the story.

Logic would also play into my cons. There were more than a few times I was taken out of the movie because I had to stop and think about what was happening and I was left confused by a bunch of things. The constant story shifting played into the logistical issues because of how the story was unfolding that it didn’t portray the characters in a very positive light. The action scenes are pretty fantastic. I don’t mind the over-the-top action sequences as long as they’re done in a way that is engaging and meaningful.

Batman, played perfectly by Ben Affleck, has never been so violent and brutal. Gone are the Val Kilmer/George Clooney Batmen. Affleck plays the quintessential Batman, paying homage to George Miller’s “The Dark Knight” comics from the ‘80s. Well played, sir.
Henry Cavill plays a solid Superman, and as a fan of Man of Steel, I had some issues with his character. Logic again, but I won’t get into spoilers in this post. Gal Gadot, after much controversy leading up to the release about her portrayal as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, was solid as well. The fans in my theatre gave a nice applause when she showed up in her armor, which was nice. This is a very important role for female fans and the future marketing of female-lead super hero films, and Gal did a fine job.
Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of Lex Luthor was…strange. His quirks and eccentricities were bordering Batman Forever-like style but saved by his intensity. Ever-faithful butler, Alfred, played by the amazing Jeremy Irons, was a perfect casting. I don’t care too much for Amy Adams as Lois. I find her’s and Clark’s relationship annoying, personally.
The addition of the “big bad” of the movie, Doomsday, didn’t look all that great and was shoehorned in and didn’t make a lot of sense. The fight scenes were pretty cool, though.

There were a bunch of scenes that were clearly meant to foreshadow the future DC movie universe, but they felt wholly out of place and unexplained. The quick introductions of the future Justice League members in Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman felt forced and out of place.

The movie spent too much time planting seeds, as it has to quickly establish their cinematic universe and catch up to Marvel/Disney. Although I mostly enjoyed the film, the problems I’ve gone over and others not mentioned lowered my score. I had my expectations lowered early in the week as critic reviews from online sources I follow didn’t give overly-positive reviews. My score would be a 6 out of 10. Keep in mind that’s a pretty decent score, it means there were more things I liked about it than things I didn’t. Would I recommend anyone seeing it? Yes, absolutely. If You’re a fan of the super hero genre, go see it.… Expand

I'm a SUPER HUGE fan of Marvel and DC. BVS was Not SO good but it was okay. A little bit disappointing but it was seriously an okay movie. The movie is a little bit too long. Well, this was okay.

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

It really felt like two separate movies puzzled together. Ben and Henry Weren't bad (not great neither) but they didn't have a chemistry together, sparks weren't flying off the screen like it should have been. Jesse as Luthor was a real pain in the ass. The kind of guy you're not at all scared of and who is way too annoying. If he was my boss I would quit my job or be at home with a burn-out. Jesse tried to play a crazy, dangerous Lex Luthor but failed horribly and created an annoying child Lex Luthor.… Expand

- Wonder Woman
- Justice League
- The Flash
- dream sequences
- dumb humor
- dumb drama
- dumb violence
--and last but not least--
- Doomsday

This movie should have been focused completely on the core relationship between Batman and Superman. Why do these guys hate each other? More importantly, why do they want to kill each other so much that they are willing to commit murder in order to do so? This movie's problem is the lack of focus in basic storytelling. This movie shouldn't be an exposition for movies five or maybe even ten years later, it should be a movie; especially since it's the second in a cinematic universe.

I also think that it should have taken away a lot of its focus on Lex Luthor and Lois Lane.

This movie, however, has a lot of awesome visuals, good performances, an amazing score, and some other stuff that I'm too lazy to mention.

This movie was okay.

Also, Ben Affleck is totally NOT the best Batman.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, yes, I am a fan of Marvel. But I am also a fan of DC and superhero films in general. The theatrical version of BvsS was not a bad movie, but it did have a number of problems that could not be ignored. First, the overall tone. I am a fan of darker films like Dredd and Watchmen, though they did not allow the tone to affect the whole movie. Both had interesting characters, great action sequences,and some light humor throughout to sustain the film. BvsS did not meet all this criteria. The darker versions of ALL the characters and the lack of any joy did not project the film in a positive light. The biggest issues, however, follow the overall writing and editing. The story, while wonderful in a number of ways, falls into illogical stupidity the next. I'm very sorry, but the 'both are mothers are Martha, we must be friends' is not justifiable to end such a fight. And the theatrical version is horribly edited throughout. The unlimited version, however is a different question. It inhancestors the film a great deal, but cannot help much of the horrible writing. The film is wonderful in a number of ways. The performances of Eisenberg, Gabot, and Irons are amazing is there own sense, and the rest are varying degrees of good. Snyder, though misguided, did provide a spectical film. Overall, see the unlimited version to appreciate the performances, action, and certain elements of writing. The story and tone, however, are not perfect by any means, and I can only hope Warner has learned from the mistakes in thus film.… Expand

From there we have a long and somewhat tiring plot, only to arrive at the central climax of the plot. The movie is not bad. 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.

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

Moreover the acting was brilliant and also having world class performances from the likes of Jesse Eisenberg.

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.

Disclaimer: I'm a Batman fan, I like Superman. I was disappointed by Man of Steel but love the Nolan trilogy (I don't expect this to be anything like Nolan).

What this movie does right: Great cinematography, sets the mood well Not tooDisclaimer: I'm a Batman fan, I like Superman. I was disappointed by Man of Steel but love the Nolan trilogy (I don't expect this to be anything like Nolan).

What this movie does right:
Great cinematography, sets the mood well
Not too much time spent on Batman's backstory, which would be a drag to most viewers. Instead he's fully formed at this point. I prefer it this way.
Batfleck is fine. He won't blow you away but he does a solid job
The action is a spectacle to behold
The Batman vs Superman fight isn't dumb

Now to the reason why this movie was a disappointment:
1. Pacing: Awful, there are parts that drag, parts that overwhelming. At one point you're wishing they just fight, so the plot actually advances
2. "The final boss": Shoehorned in, you probably know who through the trailers.
3. Writing: MELODRAMA GALORE. Some scenes just seem insulting to the viewer, they're melodramatic despite you knowing that the melodrama is pointless. The Lois and Clarke drama just isn't interesting.
4. Lex Luthor sucks. This is a personal opinion, so ignore it if you will.
5. Dream sequences. I know what they mean because I'm a fan of the medium, I know it's foreshadowing, but it seems out of place for most viewers, and doesn't seem to relevant to the plot. It provides much needed action, but that's a failure of the pacing rather than the strength of the sequences.
6. Batman's no killing rule. Most people see this as **** even in the Nolan films. Batman is a thug, and he beats on villains to the point that they might actually die. But in BvS it seems like a lot of scenes have Batman definitely killing (not the dream sequences, the Batmobile scenes). I don't mind if he kills, as long as it's explained or addressed. It just feels out of character and due to poor writing rather than a pivotal change in character.

In summary: It seems like everyone is trying really hard to make a good movie. It had potential to be a lot more, but it's flaws are fatal. Bad pacing and bad writing (some of it is good, but the bad parts stick out a lot more) really kill it for me. It isn't as fun as Marvel movies and it isn't as deep as the Nolan films (or even Watchmen). I wouldn't recommend the movie, but let's be honest, you're gonna see it anyway.… Expand

First off the performances,Ben Affleck as Batman was a very good choice,he was just entertaining to watch. Affleck was also equally entertaining as Bruce Wayne as you get to understand why he hates Superman and what he is willing to do take him down. Wonder Woman was one of the best parts in this movie she doesn't have a big role but she just fits into the movie and i wish she could have been in the movie more as Gal Gadot does a good job at portraying Wonder Woman.Now Superman, i think Henry Cavill did the best he could do because Superman is in and out of this movie.At first the world is still struggling on whether Superman is a good guy or not and you get to see Superman struggle to get people on his side,but as the movie goes on the plot of him against the world dies down as the matter of Superman doesn't come to a conclusion.

For a movie called Batman v Superman, the focus on the fight is really focused on Batman's side as he goes on a brutal rampage to take Superman down but Superman himself isn't interested in fighting batman sure there are some signs that he is not a fan of Batman but Superman's side of the story is vague until the actual fight happens.Speaking of the fight, the build up to the fight is too quick and vague, though there is some tension,when the actual fight comes along it just happens with no real build up.The fight was entertaining but rather short,but when Doomsday comes into the picture the action is amped with Batman,Superman and Wonder Woman fight Doomsday and that fight is more entertaining than the Batman v Superman fight which is slightly disappointing for a movie called Batman v Superman.

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was a mixed bag for me, if your a fan of Jesse Eisenbrg then you won't be disappointed but for me Jesse as Lex Luthor was too wacky for me, he turned out to be menacing as the movie ends but he didn't have a real motive in this movie, he influences the Batman and Superman fight in some way but doesn't actually have a real agenda and his wackiness sometimes takes you out of the movie a bit.

I didn't really mind the tone of this movie it was dark and that's the way it should have been.Critics say there is no or little humor but not every superhero movie is a Marvel Movie that's what they fail to understand.There are a few chuckles in the movie and thats fine with me and Zack Synder does a good job at delivering some dramatic moments with the dark tone of the movie.

Now my biggest problem with Batman v Superman is that during the movie there are these totally unnecessary scenes, like Justice league set up the title 'Dawn Of Justice' suggested that the movie was going to touch on some justice league stuff and one one hand the introduction of the justice league was cool as you get to see other characters that could be involved in the justice league including Wonder Women,but there are some scenes that are confusing as hell and that have nothing to to with the movie like a certain dream sequence that confused me and took me out of the movie as it is never explained and you remain scratching your head on what just happened,Especially and the very end.

The action is good and entertaining especially the Batman and Wonder Woman action sequences.The Batman action sequences are brutal and fun with is unlike any other thing batman has done on screen and Wonder Woman's powers were equally entertaining.The romance between Superman and Lois lane is super vague, their relationship is never really explored and developed and when they showed deep feelings for each other you just didn't buy it.

So Batman v superman is just a mixed bag,somethings i enjoyed but some things were bad,this film could have done a lot better but there are is some fun to be had in this movie if you keep your expectations low.… Expand

The first hour or so some of it was OK, and some of it was...boring and silly depending on the character or characters in the scene. Overall film was just way too long, and meant for 13 year olds I think, with terrible writing and laughably stupid dialogue at times, and some of the most nonsensical pointless action sequences in pretty much the last 45 minutes of a film, that was at least 45 minutes too long.… Expand

After the excellent Nolan trilogy, we have come to know of a darker, bolder Batman far fetched from Keaton or Clooney. But, Zack Snyder still thinks of superhero films as boom-boom, bang bang, high budgeted blockbusters, and he certainley delivers us one here. It's really dark, violent and gritty entertainment with amazing fights and great acting with the highlight being the wonderful Gal Gadot and the amazing Ben Affleck as Batman. Henry Cavill felt overshadowed by all the big stars including Jeremy Irons and of course Jesse Eisenberg. I felt like his Superman wasn't as fleshed out as Christopher Reeve or Brandon Routh. Eisenberg was OK in his role as Lex Luthor although they could have done better casting, the jokes don't fall and he isn't insane enough as Kevin Spacey. Ben Affleck knocked it out of the park, I think he is up there in the top with Keaton and Bale. I was shocked to see how faithful Snyder is to the comics, which is a good things sometimes, except when you misuse this power like he has, you get an uneven, packed film that gives you absolutely no time to breathe and render what you have seen, things move quick and there is absolutely nothing human about the film at all because of this. That aside there are brilliantly paced action scenes and the Batmobile chase is going to keep you on the edge of your seat. This has to be one of the darkest DC Comics movie since The Dark Knight, with violent and creepy dream sequences and very violent fights between Batman and Superman. Overall, this is a decent movie that stays faithful to the comics and has some brilliant acting and good action, but it's terribly long, uneven and Doomsday is just crammed it just like everything in the movie.… Expand

I was very hyped to see this movie but when I saw the reviews, my hype when down and went to see the movie with an open mind. Although this movie is not one of the worst, its necessarily isn't decent either. When you are making a movie aboutI was very hyped to see this movie but when I saw the reviews, my hype when down and went to see the movie with an open mind. Although this movie is not one of the worst, its necessarily isn't decent either. When you are making a movie about two iconic superheroes fighting each other and then rush alot of new characters from the DC cinematic universe to lead to another movie, that's where it falls flat on its face. Although it mostly stays true to the comics, the way the movie was made altogether is the problem here. SPOILER ALERT. Here's what I feel:

Lets start with the POSITIVES:

1. Ben Affleck pulls off a great Bruce Wayne/Batman. When you see him in action, its great and the best live action Batman yet and the highlight of the movie for me since I'm a Batman fan.
2. When you get to see Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, its pretty badass and plays the character well.
3. Superman in action is also great too.
4. When you actually get to see Batman and Superman fight. Although its not what I expected and could of been better, its a decent fight and its something we haven't seen before ever.
5. The other supporting cast members including Jeremy Irons as Alfred and Laurence Fishburne as Perry White all did good.
6. The final act with Superman fighting Doomsday was freaking cool and then later on, Wonder Woman joins him.
7. The Plot twist with Superman dying and then seeing the dirt on his coffin rise up was amazing.
8. The story telling.

NEGATIVES:
1. There is no excuse of letting the poor editing exist in this movie. Literally in the first hour, you have no clue what was going on. The transitions were terrible. This seems like two movies.
2. It's also very unacceptable that two hours in the movie, they fight. As I was watching the movie, I kept telling myself when are they gonna fight, when are they gonna fight.
3. Superman is an undeveloped character just like how he was in Man of Steel. He has no charisma. He's a very 2 dimensional character.
4. The movie has an unfocused narrative. You have no idea what the movie is about. Instead of focusing on the plot of Batman going against Superman, its more like Batman and Superman and other DC characters. It's also like a Batman and Superman solo movie came together.
5. Coming from that, they even put the Batman origin story in there. WHY? We all know the origin of Batman. It was very irrelevant that they put that in the movie.
6. I liked all the cast members except I have a problem with one: Jesse Eisenberg. His interpretation of Lex Luthor was terrible. He was not very convincing as a super villain. He was very unpleasant to watch and just someone to laugh at. Everyone knew this was a massive miscasting and that he shouldn't be in the movie.

Overall this movie was alright. Its not horrible but still is a HUGE letdown. The critics are right. Although it does stay true to the fans, it just crappy filmmaking. Although the movie has some cool moments in the first two hours, its just boring and more like a drama than an action movie. The last 30 minutes was the best part of the whole movie. I really wanted this movie to be good. I did actually have a gut feeling that this movie is gonna disappoint before I even saw the reviews. Supposedly, Zack Snyder is gonna direct the Justice League movie and I'm sorry but they put the movie in the wrong hands. Just from what I saw of what he did with Man of Steel and this movie, its gonna flop and its a shame. I give Batman v Superman a 5/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't a huge fan of Man of Steel. It had a lot going for it, but it was way too joyless for a Superman origin story. Also, the best takes on Supes have always been aspirational. He's supposed to be the best of us. Otherwise such a ridiculously overpowered hero almost always comes off as a bit of a dull douchebag. So that's my disclaimer.

That being said, I enjoyed Man of Steel quite a bit more than Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

It's not a terrible film, and by far the best thing in it is Ben Affleck as what is, let's admit it, a really only slightly more unhinged take on Bruce Wayne/Batman. His character's motivation for trying to take out the Man of Steel may not be totally convincing, but the sheer intensity of his performance goes a long way toward glossing over what should be glaring plot weaknesses.

Henry Cavill's Superman, however, remains as inexplicably wooden as ever. I say inexplicably because I've seen Cavill give more than one very good performance. I even enjoyed him in the ridiculous Snyder-lite ripoff, "Immortals." But his Superman has to be the least entertaining version I've ever seen. At this point I'd take Dean Cain over him. Seriously. Dean Cain.

The other performances are middling to decent. Gal Gadot's go as Wonder Woman is sufficient to pique interest in her upcoming solo film. Amy Adams is still OK as Lois Lane. I wasn't nearly as annoyed by Jesse Eisenburg's Alexander Luthor, jr. as others seem to be. I wasn't crazy about the character, but he didn't make me cringe nearly as often as I expected him to do.

The biggest shortcomings of the film are all behind the camera. The writing is very thin. Thin might be too generous a word. Frankly, the plot wasn't very good at all, and the scattered editing doesn't help matters. There's no good reason for a film of this running length to be made up primarily of scenes shorter than most of its trailers. No element of the story is allowed to develop interest in the viewer before we've cut to some other, largely unrelated scene somewhere else.

Then there's the ending. After a pretty convoluted but undeniably enjoyable battle between the film's headliners, here comes Doomsday. It's as if the writers realized that, given the antagonist of the film is really just a mentally unbalanced dweeb who Lois Lane could drag off to jail with one arm tied behind her back, when our heroes stopped fighting each other and teamed up to defeat him, the experience was bound to be anticlimactic. So instead they shoehorn in the ultimate in comic book boss battles. The Death and Life of Superman, while admittedly a stunt, was still one of the most well-executed stunts in comic history. It deserved to be adapted to the big screen as more than an afterthought.… Expand

Henry Cavil once again brings a humble, emotional Superman to the screen, pretty much identical to Man of Steel.

The average viewer will love this movie. At the theater I went to people applauded and all together loved this movie. There are certainly instances comic fans and movie buffs will be disappointed. Oddly enough the major let down is that such a good movie exists underneath all the rubble of bad editing.

In the end most fans only need to know one thing. This is a fairly decent launch pad for the DC Universe. Lot's of lessons to learn, but all in all a good movie I'd highly recommend seeing. My final hope is the Warner Brothers focuses more on Wonder Woman and Batman solo movies for the time being and wait for any universe expansions.… Expand

That being said I think this movie is very good.To start with Ben Affleck,I was obviously very skeptical about his role as Batman because he is a good actor but I didn't think he could have pulled it off,I mean it's a Batman role it's not some silly character like I don't know Hawkeye (shots fired).You have to play Batman great because he has a HUGE fanbase! It was a very difficult task for Ben especially after AMAZING Christian Bale performance in a classic Batman trilogy that saved the character(THANK YOU CHRISTOPHER NOLAN).In my opinion,I think Ben is comfortably FOR NOW,the second best Batman on screen OF ALL TIME (slightly behind Bale),he did an amazing job,the acting,emotions he was a great Bruce also and I am very very pleased with his performance.His fighting in this movie is freaking FABOULOUS,AMAZING,FANTASTIC etc.etc.You can see how they have taken fighting styles from Batman Arkham games and put it in the movie,WAY BETTER FIGHTING THAN IN NOLAN MOVIES! Henry Cavill...he was good,but I think the NEW DIRECTOR of upcoming Superman,or Justice League movies should really show more vulnerable Superman,IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE HIM WAY VULNERABLE ,he is not a perfect man,I think they should put some kind of dream sequences where Superman is struggling to bear with his destructed homeland and give us something about Superman to make us feel really sorry for him,to humiliate him in huge way possible and to probably make him feel like a dirt that he can't find a way to continue living.Gal Gadot is beautiful and she did a good job on Wonder Woman,she is a perfect pick IMO.It was probably kinda awkward seeing her fighting with Doomsday at the end of the movie I think she was slightly out of place but maybe it's just me.Anyways she got a decent amount of screen time I guess.Jesse Eisenberg did a good job too.I guess it was maybe awkward of seeing him portrait Lex who is a deranged mastermind but it maybe felt like a Lex Luthor in a puberty crisis.Maybe they should have went with a mature actor but I guess they went on some direction we see Lex as a younger guy which is ok.Amy Addams was nice as always she is a great actress! Overall if I had to give some kind of realistic rating for this movie I would give it 7/10 but here I will give it a higher rating because of Marvel fanboys who will blast this movie.It's a very nice movie,it's not something that will blow your minds off and like OMG THIS IS BEST MOVIE EVER but it's definitely NOT some piece of trash these so called "professional" movie critics say it is.Saying it's a dull movie is false,saying it's not FUN,yes they said it's NOT FUN is even more false.I guess nowadays movies must have so many jokes and funny moments to get "approved" mark! You know,not every single movie has to be fun ,a movie that you can watch with your family all smiling and eating lunch while watching it.There are movies that are quality but with darker theme.I have never watched a movie more than once in cinema but I think I will see this one more time or twice just to flip the finger to movie critics.… Expand

Dutch: "If it bleeds, we can kill it".

Superman has become the savior of Metropolis - but also a threat to many who fear his god-like abilities could lead to disaster. Gotham City's own Batman is among them, and he goes to confront the Man of Steel - but as these two titans clash, a new evil arises - one that poses a far greater threat to mankind.

The wait is finally over everyone, but was it worth waiting three years for? kind of. But how amazing is it that two of the most iconic superheros of all time are finally facing off with each other in one single movie. Unfortunately, not everyone was excited for it after the very mixed 'Man of Steel', as fans either loved it, liked it or hated the movie. Everyone was Curious, but also worried about Zack Snyder directing this movie, since he normally choices style over substance in his movies. Everything got worse when it comes to news, as the movie kept getting delayed, some casting choices that people got really angry over and the fact that movie was too crowed with it's characters. But hey, maybe Snyder has learnt from his mistakes from Man of Steel and might actually give us the faithful Frank Miller adaptation we've been waiting for.

After seeing the movie myself and letting it sink in for a while, I don't think this movie was terrible or good, but it could have been much better then the one we got. Batman v Superman has many problems with the plot, pacing and characters, but there's also some good things in it as well that I will get to later on in the review.

I think Zack Snyder took a bold move by taking the biggest criticism of "Man of Steel" was that Superman lets way too many people die (or just wasn't heroic enough), into the main story line of Dawn of Justice. I think it's a great way of replying back to the biggest problems fans or moviegoers had with Man of Steel, as it shows that you are aware and care of what people say. In this movie, Snyder sure dose make it as close as the comic when it comes to visuals and making it seem like the comic is leaping out of the comic book page on to the big screen, but sadly, Zack Snyder did what I feared he would do and that's doing the style over substance, with pretentious symbolism and very messy directing. Just when I thought he would fix the problems from Man of Steel, but instead make bigger problems in this movie. Now I don't want to give off the impression that I'm disliking Zack Snyder, because I don't want to, as I think he is a brilliant visual director with many ideas that doesn't always work out. I'm not a hater Snyder, but I had to be honest with you.

Ben Affleck as Batman was probably the biggest "WTF" casting ever and even I was a bit turned off by it when it was first announced, since at the time I wanted Josh Brolin to be cast as Batman. But just like Michael Keaton as Batman, Daniel Craig as James Bond and Heath Ledger as The Joker, we were all wrong to judge something without seeing it and that's once again the case here, as Ben Affleck wasn't the worse part of this movie, but rather the best part. Ben Affleck absolutely nailed it as Batman and I'm glad he proved everyone wrong. It's always a pleasure seeing annoying fanboys being proven wrong (like always). I can't wait to see that solo Batman movie starring Ben Affleck.

The fight scenes between Batman & Superman was really short and I wish it was a little longer, but it was enjoyable. Jeremy Irons as Alfred was excellent and perfect casting choice. Henry Cavill did a decent job playing Superman and the music in the film was pretty good. Gal Gadot did fine as Wonder Women, but her acting was a bit wooden and I hope she dose improve in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie that's coming out in 2017.

Now for the problems: Jesse Eisenberg was god awful as Lex Luther. I don't understand how some people think he's performance was good in this movie, because he was really cringe worthy and laughable. People will find away to defend his performance and over analysis the sh*t out of it to the point where it's really reaching for it. I don't put all the blame on Eisenberg, since it's mostly the directing and the writing that's the blame. It's awful to see a good actor like Jesse Eisenberg sadly being miss cast in a role that should have went to someone else.

Doomsday is in this movie and this isn't a spoiler as it's already been spoiled in the trailers and advertisements. Doomsday is one of the best villains in DC comics, because it's best known for being the one that killed Superman, but in this movie he's nothing but a big CGI monster that was shoehorned in the last few minutes. Also Doomsday looks like that troll monster from Fellowship of the Ring mixed with a Ninja Turtle. It's that bad.

The film itself is joyless and kind of dull at times, because every superhero movie (Mostly DC films) always try to be that dark and gritty movie that it's never going to be. This is 2 hours & 22 minutes of DC trying to catch up with Marvel, now I'm not comparing this to Marvel movies like some critics are, but it's very noticeable that this movie is leeching off the Marvel formal of setting up future movies.

Overall Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a very messy movie that really dose lose focus on what it's doing. This is called "Batman v Superman", how is this movie not the most awesome thing in the world? it's kind of disappointing just thinking about it. If you like this movie and disagree with me on the problems I had with this movie, then that's fine and I'm glad you enjoyed the movie better than I did.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this movie expecting it to be as bad as Man of Steel but I ended up enjoying it much more that I originally thought. Now that's not to say that it was good, in fact, the movie was quite mediocre, not just for a superhero movie, but just in general, but I found myself gasping or sitting up in my seat several times.

The movie seems to switch from being 8-9/10 to 2-3/10, I'd see an awesome scene with Ben Affleck and Jeremy Irons then have it ruined by Henry Cavill and Amy Adams making out in a bath tub (I just threw out two random scenes, I actually think the tub scene happens first, I don't remember).

The acting is good, but the scripting is terrible. The actors for the most part were convincing and played their character well, but the lines were just so fake. They all sounded like they were written for an audience and not the individual they were talking to, nobody talks the way they do to each other, that's just not realistic. Oh, and there were like two jokes and they both sucked and were in horribly inappropriate places.

Snyder seems to want to cram as much stuff into this movie as he can, some of it was good, Wonder Woman was probably the highlight of the movie, she deserved more screen time, but things like love affair between Kent and Lane seems forced and unnecessary at points.

But my biggest grievance is when Batman is five seconds away from killing Superman and he spares him because their mothers share the same name. WHAT?! You've been training from like, what a month?, forging Kryptonite grenades and even using a goddamn laser to make a Kryptonite spear and you spare him because "Martha, Martha..." **** that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen from a superhero movie, and I thought the scene in the Incredible Hulk where he's buying stretchy pants was dumb.

All in all, this movie is not bad, but it is definitely not good either, for every time I'm sitting up in my chair shaking with anticipation there is one that has me reclined and tempted to pull out my phone and read the news because that would be more interesting. See it for the same reason we see Marvel movies, we have to, minus the wit and humor.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, here is the unabridged movie description, spoilers and all. The movie starts with a flashback to Batman's parents dying, which we all already saw just a mere ten years ago in Batman Begins, or even more recently if you can stomach the terrible Fox show Gotham. Little Bruce Wayne runs away from his parents funeral and falls into a cave of bats. Then out of nowhere he starts flying with the bats. Then it cuts to black and Ben Affleck says, "that part was just a dream." Phew, close call, I almost walked out of this 3 hour movie 4 minutes in. Next it cuts to Superman blowing up Metropolis while Bruce Wayne is conveniently in the neighborhood. Bruce Wayne becomes very angry at Superman's lack of control in the field of collateral damage. He spends two years thinking about how much he doesn't like Superman, then the movie starts. The first scene in present day is the cops walking in on a Batman crime scene and talking about how much of a badass Batman is in this universe. Then Batman goes back to the Bat Cave after a night of badassery, and is greeted by an Alfred that looks five years older than him. WTF SNYDER?! How old was Alfred when he started raising the young orphan Affleck? 10?! You're creating plot holes where there don't need to be plot holes. Also, in this universe Alfred pressures Batman to have a family more than my mother after a glass of wine. "Sir, I've loaded the coordinates to your Bat Computer and set a course for the meth lab operators; also, have you met the one yet?" Bruce Wayne must be discouraged to settle down by Clark Kent and Lois Lane's over-the-top PDA throughout the movie. They act more in love than two high school band geeks at their first kegger. Few things of importance happen in the first ninety minutes of the movie. Wonder Woman says like two lines, this crippled guy vandalizes a Superman statue, and Lex Luthor creates Doomsday by mixing General Zod's corpse with his own blood (...what?). Then the moment we've all been waiting for comes and Batman and Superman duke it out in a tremendously wonderful fight that lasts about fifteen minutes. Batman is about to win the fight by stabbing Superman with a Kryptonite spear, when Lois Lane comes out of nowhere and basically says "Your moms have the same name!" Batman puts down the spear and makes up with the Man of Steel just in time to save the city from Doomsday. In her infinite wisdom, Lois Lane throws the Kryptonite spear (the one thing that can kill Doomsday) into this deep hole full of water, then is like Oh F*** we need that! Superman throws Doomsday into space, and the army (clearly never having seen Independence Day) decides the only way to kill Doomsday is with a nuke, eliminating the threat but also killing Superman in the crossfire. They launch the nuke and lo and behold Doomsday survives. Superman takes a bit longer to recover, so Batman and Wonder Woman try to fight off this colossal alien on their own. Superman comes back in time to save a drowning Lois, who tried to retrieve the Kryptonite spear she oh so naively threw away. Then Superman retrieves the spear, and is about to finish off Doomsday with it, when Lois pulls him aside and says "you can't go, I love you." LOIS. THE CITY IS F***ING EXPLODING. TONS OF PEOPLE ARE DYING, LET YOUR BOYFRIEND OUT OF YOUR SIGHT FOR 5 F***ING MINUTES. Superman kills Doomsday with the spear and Doomsday stabs him with this sharpened bone thing. The next scene is Superman's funeral. He survived being nuked in space, but clearly could not live through being stabbed. Superman's mom gives Lois an engagement ring and said "He had it delivered here so he could surprise you." BULL S***. He had it delivered to your farm in Kansas, a place Lois Lane clearly doesn't visit often, in order to surprise her, then conveniently dies so this is considered more of a beautiful moment and less of a massive f***ing plot hole. Then Batman says, I'm gonna finish what we started and Superman comes back to life. The End.… Expand

To be fair, there were some aspects of it that I liked- Ben Affleck makes a surprisingly good Batman, Jesse Eisenberg steals every scene he's in and Gal Gadot's Wonder-Woman is impressive. But while Batman's scenes are interesting, Superman's scenes are mostly dull and lacking in any emotional impact (and it doesn't help that Superman himself seems so lifeless for most of the film). The titular battle is underwhelming and the plot is too convenient. Overall, though it is occasionally entertaining, BvS: DOJ gets bogged down by an overstuffed plot, unconvincing scenarios and a serious lack of energy or fun. Still, it left me wanting a Batman solo movie.… Expand

Following this they tried to kick start a "DC Universe" (DCU) with The Green Lantern (2011), another comic book hero who has (in my opinion) an even greater, and possibly even limitless, amount of scope for creating a film (and franchise/universe) around. But again, TGL was utterly awful and DC had to go back to square one.
So, they 'rebooted' Superman again with Man Of Steel (2013), which whilst not setting the world alight with what was created, was sufficiently well received to become a not particularly stable foundation.
With the Nolan 'Batman' trilogy at an end, and with Batman being an integral part of the DCU, it was natural that the next film in the franchise should feature him, with Henry Cavill's existing Superman.

Sounds ok, in theory. But in practice?? O...M...G...!

Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is everything everyone was hoping it wasn't. As other people have pointed out it's essentially five separate narratives existing at the same time, and none are fleshed out enough to make the viewer the least bit emotionally and intellectually invested.
If you've seen the second trailer for BvS, then you've seen essentially all the major plot elements (bar one, which I won't 'spoil'), and if you've not and are going into the movie blind.... Well, set your expectations down several notches.

So, what's good?

The performances of the main stars are all good enough. No one really stands out, Cavill is brooding and handsome as Superman, Affleck as Batman spends most of the film looking a little perplexed, and Adams as Lois Lane mainly turns up for expositional purposes or to be the de facto 'damsel in distress'.
The opening narrative is actually quite compelling, as it deals with the aftermath of Man of Steel and the public's (and Batman's/Bruce Wayne's) reaction to having this super powered individual in their midst. The interplay between the two 'heroes', in their everyday alter ego's sets up the following conflict really well.
But, after that (and the introduction of Lex Luthor, played in a very over the top, twitchy, almost OCD way by Jesse Eisenberg) the film just nosedives.
The action is well staged, especially during the BvS confrontation but, again, the subsequent action scenes aren't anywhere near as good, lacking coherence and (like in virtually every other superhero movie) lacking stakes.
Zack Snyder's direction is all over the place. He's known (and respected) for his action sequences which, as mentioned, are all over the place themselves.... But he's less well known for his ability to structure a narrative, develop a film's pace, and wring performances out of 'Hollywood Stars'. BvS is very clear evidence of all this. Beyond certain scenes of real spectacle, everything else is just done averagely... And it's a real shame, because the introduction of Batman and Luthor (and their respective motivations etc) could have carried the entire film itself.

Which brings us to what is bad. And by bad I mean things which i can't caveat with positives (like I offered a somewhat negative caveat to almost all the 'good' points!!)

The bad comes from my original statement. That DC are desperate to create a franchised universe for their superheroes (and supervillains) to inhabit.
Whereas Marvel made several standalone movies that introduced the main protagonists of what would become 'The Avengers', DC have instead chosen to use BvS as a launching pad in one single movie.

By this I mean we get the introduction of Wonder Woman (played by the stunning Gal Gadot), who is superfluous to the plot, but is shoe-horned in because she's going to get her own movie.
But we also get insane amounts of 'foreshadowing' of other known members of what will become The Justice League, to the point where I actually found myself both cringing and laughing at the same time.
There's absolutely no need for it, but DC want/need to create a 'universe' in which these other characters exist, and so throw in innumerate 'nods' throughout the film.

So, what's the conclusion?

Is BvS a bad movie? Depends on your point of view. If you want a relatively fast-paced, actioney film with a plot that goes from A-B-C without any real surprises to make you spit out your popcorn... Then BvS will suit you to the ground.

If you're looking for a film which actively encourages you into the new DCU, and have an interest in any of the actual DC characters.... Then this will (as it did me) disappoint you immensely.

It's not a terrible 'film', it's just a terrible 'superhero' film.… Expand
