However, I personally pay no heed to critic reviews, they are frequently bias and unbalanced and Batman Vs Superman exemplifies this so aptly. The movie itself is compelling and there is never a dull moment from start to end. The special effects are jaw dropping amazing and the action scenes, at numerous points in the movie, are quite simply incredible.
Ignore the disparate lack of imagination and fun the tedious negative critics convey in their reviews, their over zealous and lofty expectations are not indicative of accuracy in movies, it is shallow and lacking any merit. Go and enjoy a fantastic movie experience and then draw your own conclusions.… Expand

Lets talk about what they done right,the fight scene are epic,superior camera angle.Wonder women is so
badass in the movie,but they didn't explain the back story of her.And Ben does a good job as batman,Irons also does a perfect job as Alfred.And for the bad part,
1.Jessie is so bad in this movie,acting like a stupid brat who want to be Joker,but just ends up embarrassing the audience.
2.The whole fight of Batman vs Superman is less than 10 minutes,The reason I came for this movie is less than 10 minutes.......and they reconciled in 10 seconds because their mom has the same name.WTF...
3.Doomsday,Don't get me wrong,the fight between Doomsday and the 3 heros are is good,the problem is WB should have save Doomsday for another movie,not just throwing it in the end of the movie for a fight.I rather see Batman fight Superman for 30 minutes than this CGI stuff.
4.So many questions and so many WTF moments.Like How did superman recover after got hit by a nuclear bomb?Why did Batman forgive Superman for a stupid reason?Why is Lex so mad at superman for no reason?Why doesn't Bruce Wayne just cooperate with Lex to defeat superman?What happened to Robin and Joker?
5.bad ending.Really WB? You have to kill superman in the end and make him come back in the next film to rush out Justice League? Really?
6.The story is broken,and separate in pieces,make the audience hard to connect all the sequence together,also there are many scene that are unneeded.

WB wants to compete with Marvel,so the combine 3 movies into one movie,and the result is disappointing.
This is not the film that the fans are expecting for 30 years.… Expand

Tomatoes and Metacritic ratings - I'm staying up late to write this
review for you. I have therefore deliberately kept it spoiler-free. I am a Marvel fan boy. I'veTo those on the fence about watching this movie, given the poor Rotten
Tomatoes and Metacritic ratings - I'm staying up late to write this
review for you. I have therefore deliberately kept it spoiler-free.

I am a Marvel fan boy. I've seen most of their properties so far, and
they have only gotten better and better at honing their art. Kudos to
them.

DC never really got my attention except for the recent Nolan movies.
Burton piqued my interest. Man of Steel - though divisive - was
entertaining in my book, though I had my fair share of issues with it.

Comics-wise, I've always been more interested in the DC series only
because I think the plot lines were easier to follow, more consistent,
and generally more interesting than Marvel's. Don't shoot me - I'm just
speaking as a casual consumer in that regard.

I went in to BvS with high expectations, despite what I thought were
pretty poorly edited trailers (which did not inspire me to watch this
film, mind you), and not to mention the atrocious Rotten Tomatoes and
Metacritic scores. Suicide Squad looks much better by comparison, and
is the Lego Batman movie. However, I decided to purchase 2 IMAX tickets
(which were criminally expensive at my IMAX theater) because (i) it
would be a good 'date night' with my wife and to have someone take care
of our young daughter tonight; (ii) there are some actors and actresses
in it that I have enjoyed in other movies (i.e. Ben Affleck, Amy
Adams), and I respect most of their work so far though not all are
critically acclaimed.

Zack Snyder wouldn't be the reason why I am watching this. Aside from
Man of Steel, I have only seen his '300' which is strangely hailed as
his best work. Personally, I detested it.

I walked away from BvS with a large smile on my face. The acting was
good - Ben Affleck and Jesse Eisenberg were my personal highlights. I
know some don't like his portrayal of Lex - but my wife found it to be
the highlight. Teetering on the edge between that of a wealthy genius
young entrepreneur and man obsessively manic over the morality of power
-- man could Jesse Eisenberg act.

Ben Affleck is easily one of my favorite Batman depictions to date.
Christian Bale's best take on the Dark Knight was in Batman Begins when
Nolan had time to flesh out the character. But in none of Nolan's films
was Batman thoroughly depicted as (i) a detective, and (ii) a fighter.
Christian Bale's fight scene against Bane in TDKR was okay – a bit slow
and I did not feel the weight of the punches/kicks (sometimes I wish
that these action films would take note from the Ip Man series). In
this film, I can see why, from the comics, he had the potential to lead
the League of Assassins. Man, did the fight/action scenes deliver.

A side note is that this is easily one of the most visually splendid films I've had the pleasure to watch on IMAX. Don't know what it will be like on a smaller screen, but just on the level of cinematography alone, I was in awe. Much improved over Man of Steel. Larry Fong, well done. Finally, plot. I have heard a lot of criticisms but given this is a spoiler-free, I can't say too much, but hear this: 1. It was not incoherent, but I can see why criticism is warranted. The editing, whilst an improvement from Man of Steel, still could do with some work. More time could be spent on certain plot lines before jumping to another. Personally, I found the different strands easy to follow. 2. I can see why Wonder Woman feels shoe-horned in, as also with the other Easter Eggs which seem to detract from the 'main story'. However, following the original Frank Miller comic which has a sub-text on the 'meta-human' controversy, I can also see why it makes sense to include another 'meta-human' (other than Superman) in this movie but not overcrowd it with anymore. This actually made a lot of sense to me, and feeds into Batman's story arc and character development. 3. This is not a Marvel film, which is riddled with humour to hide the fact that their properties, too, can be light on plot but nevertheless are great entertainment. I found the dark tone fitting, and the occasional levity appropriate. I left the cinema actually still pondering a lot of the serious theological-politico questions raised in the movie which I felt were cleanly and elegantly answered. The answers were not in my face but could be rewardingly reached with some work. 4. This movie has a lot of 'show, don't tell'. Many plots which, I suspect, would be explored in later movies. They are incorporated cleverly, fleeting, and not distracting. If you want distracting plots hammed in for sequels etc, go watch Iron Man 2 and Avengers 2. 5. My plot highlight was the reason why Batman and Superman eventually reconciles. Resonates a lot with me personally. In brief DC has done a great job carving out their own identity with BvS, a tone that was set in motion since (flawed) Man of Steel. My wife (w/o comic book b/g) also enjoyed it immensely - a double win for me.… Expand

This is a great DC Universe film and the cast are, for the most part, excellent. The only character that didn't work was Lex but apart from that everyone was great. Sure the pacing stuttered in places, the dialogue was poor in others and the end section dragged (for me) but generally I was entertained and enjoyed the film.

Ben Affleck is the definitive screen Batman for me. His size, tone and approach were spot on.

I'm looking forward to the next one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman V Superman is definitely a different type of superhero movie than those that have been released recently, as it feels directly lifted from multiple comic books, that were carefully laid out, and then throw into a blender. The movie takes place before, during, and for the most part, after the events of director Zack Snyder’s previous foray in the superhero genre, Man of Steel. I can say, if you did like Man of Steel, you will most likely like this movie as the tone is very similar, if not a little darker, but it does not feel nearly as bleak and hopeless as its predecessor, but that is not to say that the movie is infused with much joy either.

It is nice to say after what was years of the internet’s dread, the acting was fairly spot on. Henry Cavill maintains his role of Superman, and I’ve got to say I do like the way they present Superman as a whole. Not as some all-knowing God type figure, but as a misfit alien who can do almost anything, except be human. Ben Affleck makes an incredible Batman, somewhat akin to the Arkham series of games, my only complaint being is it seems they went for a very Frank Miller inspired Batman, as he flat-out murders people in a few scenes in the Batmobile and Batwing, but this does seem to be the basis of his conflict with Superman, which is ultimately remedied in the end. Gal Gadot, likewise made a very fascinating Wonder Woman, even though she did not have much screen time until the end of the film. I am still somewhat on the fence about Jesse Eisenberg’s casting as Lex Luthor, for those of you hoping he would be the sinister, and imposing Lex Luthor that has been common place in DC’s animated movies and cartoons, he is not. I can say, however, that he does do a very good job in his role, being much more strangely upbeat but ultimately psychotic. The movie does have a scene showing Luthor being imprisoned, head shaved, and locked away, so there is hope that he may become much more daunting like the Luthor many are accustomed to.

The story overall is a mixed bag, but it works, it feels very much like an animated DC film brought to life. That is, however, not entirely perfect. As I mentioned prior, the movie lacks any sort of joy, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I get that is what DC is going for but when the only emotion being portrayed on screen is brooding, it feels a little bland. The story also feels somewhat nonsensical at certain points, namely in the beginning, when it feels like they couldn’t choose which of five different intros for the film, so they just threw them all in at random. Those complains aside however, the story does work, some of it may be somewhat of a slog, but the parts that are not are absolutely exhilarating. The action scenes are visceral and intense, Batman completely demolishing a group of thugs in particular was incredible, as was watching Batman and Superman duke it out, but both were overshadowed by how epic the final showdown with Doomsday was. Witnessing the trio (Trio is generous to say, Batman just kind of watched and ate popcorn with the crowd in the movie theater) come to blows with Doomsday was phenomenal. From a fairly geeky standpoint, it was cool to see Snyder and his crew incorporate Doomsdays evolutionary features, and watching in vein as Superman, Wonderwoman, and the US government attempted to slay him, only to make him stronger. Ultimately the battle ends by taking a page from one of the more well-known Superman comics, Death of Superman, which doesn’t really leave much up to the imagination in what happens. The final moments take place at Clark’s funeral with Bruce speaking to Diana (Wonderwoman) telling her they need to find the other meta-humans. Which ultimately perpetuates what this movie is actually about, it is a two-and-a-half-hour hype trailer for the Justice League movie.
In all, this movie is not perfect, the story and lack of emotion can sometimes make it feel like a grind. On the other spectrum, the action, acting, and awe of seeing Batman, Superman, and Wonderwoman kickass alongside one another on the big-screen work heavily it its favor. So, if you are looking for a light-hearted superhero movie, or even just hoping for DC’s successor to “The Dark Knight” you will not find it here, this is not that movie. What you will find, is a gripping tale of multiple comic books woven together, and brought into real life with a solid cast, convoluted but good story that create the groundwork for a potentially incredible series of films to come.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a mess. Jumbled. First 60-80 min was a waste of time. The bullet subplot could easily be taken out. It served no purpose. As did Lex´s "dealing" with the senator.

It was to discredit Superman ?

Discredit him to what end ? At the end of the film none of it mattered . Why Lex needed permission to bring in kryptonite into the U.S was also totally stupid, and another huge waste of time. This is Lex Luthor. He would bring it in regardless. ILLEGALLY ? And why bring it inn by BOAT ? The slowest mode of transportation ?

Some terrorists kill people in africa , and its Superman's fault ?? What is that ? And I thought this was Batman v Superman ? Not the people vs

And the fact that Lex Luthor is the one who has all the info on the other Justice League members. Names them and gives them their Logos. Really ? That should be BATMAN !! He does that, NOT Lex......Come on.

The dream, within a dream. Where Flash ( i guess ) warns Bruce. Was it real ? A dream ? I don´t know. It was sort of cool, but in a dream within a dream ? What ??

Gal Gadot's reason for being in the movie was razor thin , but I enjoyed WW when she joined in.

The cave troll looked awful. You would think they could have made it look better since Fellowship of the Ring

Jesse Eisenberg's Luthor is the worst . ding ding ding.

Batfleck was the best the film had to offer. Cavill´s Superman has zero character development since MoS. He is still dependant on his mommy and daddy.

All in all its a badly directed movie. Hack Snyder should be fired ASAP.

Martha ? Really.....

I hear the "ultimate cu" has a longer ending, and the one in the film already goes after Return of The Kings record for dragging out an ending so....

I wanted this too be good. I was bitterly disappointed. It has some cool moments, but overall it fails.

And that ending ( which they only get to use once ) makes it a certainty that Justice League part 1 has to spend the whole movie bringing back one of the very few established characters they had. How is that a good thing ?

If that ending was for Justice League part 2, I could understand it. Then they could do the Superman returns story as a stand alone film after JL part 2. That would make some sense.

And since Darkseid is gonna be the baddie for JL that would also mean they could have given The Cave Troll his proper origin. Not that bullcrap this movie pulled during its last half hour. This film did not set the groundwork for future installments. It seriously damaged them. Its a freakin mess, and its DC fans that are complaining the loudest.

For all Lex knew that creature could have turned out to be some braindead deformity . 3 feet tall, and with no powers at all. The first thing it did was try to kill Lex!! Good plan man. You're a genius !!

And now Doomsday as a character has been wasted, and can't come back. NOTHING is supposed to kill this thing , and he lived for what ? 20 minutes, and now gone....... What a waste.

Thanks a lot Hack.… Expand

THE GOOD:
Ben Affleck is quite easily the best live-action Batman.
So is Jeremy Irons as Alfred.
Gal Gadot did wonders with what little screen time she had.
Great fight scenes.
Excellent cinematography. Simply put it's visually spectacular.
Excellent beginning.
Unpredictable ending.
Hans Zimmer's score.

THE BAD:
It's a rushed setup film for the Justice League, so it's crammed with too many plots/sub-plots.
Bad editing, disjointed scenes (once again due to too many plots)
Main antagonist's motives are unclear.
Some minor plot holes.
Slow middle.
Unnecessary cameo from one particular superhero (could have been a simple end credit scene).

THE UGLY:
Doomsday...he's just a really ugly cgi monster.

In short: It's no masterpiece and there are certainly much better superhero films out there but it isn't a terrible film by any means.

First off, the movie is not perfect in any way possible. This was a SIX hour movie compressed into 2.5 hours and the final scene was completely shoehorned (doomsday Thing). That being said, the first part of the movie was pretty much perfect.

Things I loved about the movie.
1. All things to do with batman.
2. Wonder Woman was pretty kickass.
3. I actually enjoyed the lex luthor take of the movie.
4. The visuals are freaking awesome.
5. The flash coming in was really fun too.
6. The superman doing good montage was really awesome.

Things that I wish they had done differently
1. should have made the movie longer. although the movie juggled too many plot lines, none of them were seen to fruition.
2. The movie made the dangerous assumption of thinking that all the moviegoers will understand all the subplots which are dropped in the movie. Now I had no problem since i am familiar with the comic book lore; but on the other hand, I had to constantly explain these things to my clueless friends.

Things that I did not like about the movie at all
1. The editing and cutting is not good. (Hoping to god that the extended version will do some good) .
2. Anything related to the metro news plot.
3. Doomsday.

All in all..... if you are a casual movie goer, you will have a decent time; If you are going in just to pass your time, you might end up not liking the movie; But if you are a fan and actually know the comic lore, you will love it.

Hope this review Helps.… Expand

BvS is a very much DC story. It is an ambitious project --> bring live action superheroes with grounded feeling/story, taking our world issues/problems/views about superheroes to the film, merge it with many many comics/story, making them felt as real as possible... but without leaving how cartoonish superheroes concept really are. For that i gave WB/DC, especially Zack a thumb up.
but this movie also has problems. the main problem are probably bcoz this movies actually are 2 main story. As its felt that the highlight of this story is coming from TDK frank miller and Doomsday related story by Dan Jurgens (i won't say the name of the title). there are too many element here that drag audience's focus from here to there and to another place and etc...etc... I meant Zack present the background story material in the movie but it seem to be failed to be delivered to the audience very well.

so bottom line... yeah, the movie is not perfect. the story is too ambitious. the style is probably not too popular. but it surely fun to watch. You have to see it to experience it.… Expand

...Because of so many of you and your horrible reviews I went into BvS with extremely low expectations. Instead, I was pleasantly rewarded with quite possibly the best Superhero movie I've seen and perhaps one of my favorite movies...period! As some of you reading this may have already noticed, BvS has not received rave reviews. Matter of fact, most of the so-called critics are trashing this movie; however, after the movie was finished, myself and everyone sitting around me were left asking: "Why?" We were all freaking out and pumped from the DC Trinity extravaganza we all just witnessed.

BvS was a glorious experience that had not only myself, but everyone (I noticed) around me completely enthralled and joyously entertained! I was giddy as a schoolgirl with excitement, particularly because this Superman fanboy not only loved me some Man of Steel, but was absolutely floored by the Batfleck...like that bad guy that was face-planted by Bats in the movie...you know the one. Yes, Mr. Affleck's masterpiece portrayal of the Dark Knight is by far the best Batman ever!...sorry Mr. Bale, but it ain't even close.

This is The Batman I loved from the comics! This is The Batman I loved from Batman: The Animated Series! This is the Batman that is the genius tactician that you could believe is finally capable of living up to the moniker of World's Greatest Detective! In addition, Wonder Woman kicks some serious ass and her appearance definitely received the biggest applause of the movie.

I could go into more detail about what makes this movie great for me, I could go on and on and give you an overly analytical rant as to why I feel the way I do about this film, but let's face it, who am I to suggest what you may like?...which is the same reason why you shouldn't put to much weight in the critics' reviews either.

Is the movie perfect in every way? Perhaps not. The best advice I can give in regards to BvS, is that if you are not already a fan of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, DC Comics or the superhero genre, you may not like the film (or perhaps become a fan yourself). However, if you are already a fan of those things I mentioned, then the movie is definitely worth the price of admission! And furthermore, even though I had already seen all of the trailers, I was still given enough to chew on in this film to feel like I hadn't already seen it all.

Go see this movie with an open mind and if your experience is anything like mine, you'll HAVE A BLAST! BvS is everything an action blockbuster of this type should be: being thoroughly entertained to the point where you and complete strangers around you in the theater can't help but cheer and celebrate together at what you just saw on screen!

I know I'll be going to see it a couple more times before it leaves the theater!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yeah so I'm still digesting this and will continue to do so for some time. I really enjoyed it but I expect I will be in the minority because this movie hits my ponderous/angsty/philosophical pleasure centers and its brooding tone probably won't work as well for most. I'll acknowledge that WB's ambitious attempt to introduce a bazillion characters all at once and lay the groundwork for a Justice League movie was over-reaching and sloppy at times, but I appreciate immensely how boldly the filmmakers dove into deconstructing these characters (on a mythical level in the case of Superman and a personal level in the case of Batman, with Lex playing an almost meta-role as the ringleader and Greek chorus since he is the only guy with the Big Picture in mind), which is not something anyone was asking for but it's the kind of work I'm personally interested in. This might have been my favorite superhero movie since Watchmen and my favorite comic book movie since Scott Pilgrim if the editing and third act had been more on point. The story happenings in the last 45 minutes of the film NEEDED to be better thought-out and right now the last act knocks the movie down from “great” to “really good”. There is a spoiler-free TL;DR at the end.

MANY CONTEXTUAL SPOILERS AHEAD.

I really, unabashedly, enjoyed about 65% of it (the action was sparse but solid and the performances were great all around - Affleck was a fantastic Batman, Cavill does a really good job conveying Superman's conflicted emotions, Eisenberg makes a fitting Lex with just the right amount of smarm, wit, and menace, Adams' Lois is the heart that holds it together, Jeremy Irons' Alfred is the voice of reason, etc.). The other 35% ranges from tolerable (Diana Prince) to unnecessary padding (Lois) to just plain bizarre (Batman's desert dream). You could have cut 20~ minutes from this movie, made MINOR script changes in 2 or 3 scenes, and gotten a much tighter and more cohesive story with a character arc for Superman, all without losing the thematic content.

On to length. This movie is such a mixed bag in the sense that it aces the thematic/mythic/character moments that are my favorite part of these movies, but fumbles what should be incredibly simple/routine plot tasks by stretching them out over MANY scenes (Lois' bullet investigation, which was maybe 5 scenes, could have been accomplished in 2, and how many times did we need to hear Perry wondering where Clark ran off to?).

The thematic content (the contrast between a "God" trying to live as a man doing right by his own moral code, a man trying to fend off his own mortal fears and demons by taking on an alien that represents a power no man can fathom or handle, and a man trying to create a devil to kill "God" and achieve power over all men) was ON POINT. The character interactions and portrayals of brooding Bruce/Batman, conflicted Clark/Supes, over-the-top Lex, and the mysterious but upbeat Diana/WW were all superbly done, but when it came to tying these thematic elements together with the plot, the work failed to become more than the sum of its parts. It seemed like the film was building up to a cohesive, operatic finale but everything fell short around the last 45 minutes or so. That's when it became clear that neither of our heroes would be allowed to overstep their boundaries and the title fight was going to be waged based upon a series of misunderstandings, obvious false flag attacks, and blackmail incidents that led to both characters playing right into Luthor's hands.

The issue is that Batman and Superman don't fight because either is truly motivated to take the other out. They fight because the plot demands it: Luthor has cornered Superman and emotionally manipulated Bruce (especially after that last scene with Finch, I found it out of character to the point of incredulity for even an unstable Bruce to have not seen through Lex's ploy here). It's as if WB suddenly decided that rather than risk having one or both of their mascots go too far, it would be easier for them to both be played like saps.

As for the action, hey, I really enjoyed it. The Batmobile chase was great and I prefer this version of the vehicle to Nolan's. The title fight is surprisingly understated. It isn't drawn out, nor is it flashy, but it follows a solid progression with good choreography and it didn't seem like any poor choices were made on the parts of the combatants or filmmakers. **** was clean. Batman has a solid solo fight sequence against some thugs. But the climactic Doomsday clash is the centerpiece and it didn't disappoint. Synder and DP Larry Fong don't opt for much speed-ramping and much of the action is surprisingly done in real-time with less slow-mo than we expect from Snyder..

I really wanted to love this but I can't get past just really liking it. There's so many things they got right but ultimately it's the unnecessary length and aforementioned motivation problems that hold it back from classic status. 8/10… Expand

Just go watch it for yourself, personally the critics are way too harsh on this film and both fans and audiences are loving it so far. It's easily as good as Age of Ultron if not better. Setting up a whole universe in 1 film was no easy task, but i think Snyder & DC have done it albeit not perfectly but I'm very excited for the future.… Expand

And sincerely, each moment is worthwhile in this movie. That’s a real superhero movie, a real DC movie, with all its mythological dimension, its moral dimension, the treatment of Gods among men, so proper to DC comics. We are very far from Marvel (or Fox) movies, would it be in frivolity, stakes, or confrontations. Very far from ordinary (or extraordinary) men who surpass themselves in some exceptional moments, but stay focused first on human preoccupations.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been given the honor of writing our very first review here at Nerds with Mics. What is surely to be one of the biggest movies of 2016 and a firm staple in the world of nerd culture, I went to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Before seeing the movie I decided to read some reviews online like I always do, and I noticed there was a very common theme: most of them were negative reviews. Regardless, I always go into a movie with no expectations and make a judgement on my own. The movie starts off by reminding us how Bruce Wayne’s parents were killed and then finding a boy falling into a well where he finds his love for bats. At first I thought to myself how stupid is this, because we all know how Bruce Wayne becomes Batman and what drives him to fight crime. The reason for this is made clear with the scene that follows, because it then shows why Batman grows to hate Superman because of the events that took place in Metropolis during the last movie, Man of Steel. The way the two stories were tied together worked really well (Wayne Enterprising being destroyed, killing hundreds of people during the fight between Superman and General Zod).

After they caught everyone up on what Batman and Superman have been doing for the last 2 years, I was ready for the action to get underway. There were simply no surprises for me in this movie at all. The story during the middle just seemed to be all over the place and jumping in many directions. Jessie Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor seems to be played differently than in previous movies. At first I hated, hated, HATED the way this character was being portrayed but by the end of the movie, I felt like he had grown on me (after his last scene in the movie). Superman is fun to watch and Henry Cavill does an excellent job with this role once again. The one performance I was most impressed by and unexpectedly so, was Ben Affleck’s Batman. I feel that for the first time I’ve seen a character that is Bruce Wayne and Batman. In past Batman movies going all the way back to Michael Keaton, I’ve always thought whoever played Batman was either a really good Bruce Wayne or a really good Batman, but never both. Ben Affleck in my opinion is one of the best parts about this movie and it makes me want a standalone Batman movie starring Ben Affleck.

When I think about this movie, in a lot of ways in reminds me of what happened with Spider-Man 3. The movie features too many characters, similar to Spider-Man 3 (Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, Doomsday). With so many characters to focus on, the story loses a sense of purpose. With a weak script but a strong performance from two main stars, it left me with mixed feelings about the movie as a whole. The fight scene between Batman and Superman for me was the highlight of the movie and the downside was the Doomsday fight. I honestly feel like that movie would have been 10 times better to leave out Wonder Woman and Doomsday and just focused solo on Batman and Superman. If they wanted to have Doomsday in it then they should have lead up to the end with him and saved him for the next film. I would say Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is good but not great. Makes me wonder how much different this movie could have been if Christopher Nolan would have been heavily involved. In a world with Marvel is constantly raising the bar with superhero movies, DC has to find a way to come up with strong scripts and better storytelling for their strongest comic book characters. Oh, and a huge bummer to announce: there is no after credits scenes so don’t waste your time.… Expand

Remember the stories you came up with as a child when you played with your action figures? Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is no different than them. In fact, it's even worse because it doesn't have an inch of heart and enthusiasm.

ItsRemember the stories you came up with as a child when you played with your action figures? Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is no different than them. In fact, it's even worse because it doesn't have an inch of heart and enthusiasm.

Its script is an incoherent and depressing mess where the characters, if you can call them that, have no personalities, motivations and arcs. Batman is a moronic jerk who prefers to destroy stuff than being reasonable. Superman doesn't do much aside from looking sad. Wonder Woman is just there so Warner Bros can have more toys to sell. Lex Luthor is a spoiled brat with with way too much time on his hands. You could remove several sequences and it wouldn't make any difference.

With the exception of Jesse Eisenberg, who was embarrassing to witness, the actors looked like they wanted to be anywhere else. I can't say I blame them.

Not even the action scenes live up to the hype. They're awkwardly staged and sometimes it's hard to tell what's going on (the cinematography is too dark). The music is laughably overdramatic.

It's sad how Warner Bros has been working with these characters for ages and can't make a competent crossover movie with them. I only rate 1/10 because I think Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck were the right actors in the wrong movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've seen all the iterations of Batman in film, but none of the animated ones. I have read Dark Knight Returns but had to look up who Doomsday is, so I am a fan but not a fanatic. I was really disappointed to see how this movie was trashed by many - but not all critics. I read a cross section of the reviews here on this site- I recommend you hit the button to expand the critic reviews fully to give an accurate sampling...I really enjoyed the movie, I have to say that. There were plot points like the dream sequences that seemed more WTF moments for me, and the movie had lots to develop to set up future films. But I liked it, I liked Affleck I liked Gadot, I thought Cavill was strong...was it derivative of the Nolan's or a brand new direction, a little of both. Snyders movies are big and brassy yet the film I thought had some softer subtle moments that played well for me and for my wife. In my opinion the movie was much better than the bad reviews- and not as good as the Nolan's- though to be fair Zachary Snyder is charting a new path- and I liked it. In fact and I expect a flame war to follow- despite my love for Joss Whedon's work I only really liked the first half of the Avengers, and was not into Ultron at all, Captain America movies were for me much more fulfilling- Give me Bat and Supes any day! For the experts out there who know Death of Superman comic, and Miller's Dark Night Returns, would you say the film embraces any of those works? Go see it for yourself. I will go a second time!… Expand

I am going to take a wild stab and say no, you did not feel any of that. You simply do not give a **** about Superman in this movie.

The greedy execs at DC and Warner were so busy setting up future movies they completely messed up this movie.

The film is also very well shot and some of the fights between Batman and Superman are pretty enjoyable. It's themes and expansion on the aftermath of Man of Steel is interesting too. Despite these pros, BvS is a mediocre film overall due to basic film problems, a disappointment, and a truly rocky start to the building of the DC expanded universe.… Expand

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.

Don't listen to the critics, go see it for yourself.… Expand

Zack Snyder has to go! 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 aZack Snyder has to go! 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

Superman is finally here, and it’s now official that DC is trying to match Marvel, but lacks the skillfulness. Batman v. Superman is probably one of, if not the most, hyped films of the year, where 2 of the most iconic comic-book characters finally come together on the big screen. Batman v. Superman is action packed, crowded, and rushed making it a true mixed bag. For those who want to enjoy a great action film, and don’t care about some of the finer details, this will probably live up to expectations.
As with it’s predecessor Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman handles the action sequences really well. The film’s special effects are also very good, and the character designs are very well done. It seems with this film most of the positives revolve around Ben Affleck and Batman, as he seems to be the main focus of the film. Batman’s characterization seems to be the not just a shining spot in the cloud of carnage that is this film, but possibly one of the best Batman characterizations ever.
On that note Batman saves this film, because the rest of the film is in a word, a mess. The film tries to do too much, which seems odd since Marvel’s The Avengers was able to handle the same task perfectly. When looking at it Superman, Lois Lane, Wonder-Woman, Lex Luthor, and other various characters are underdeveloped simply because they aren’t given enough screen time. Not only are they not given enough screen time, but the writers rush through shoddy plot points simply to get back to Batman, as if they know the only thing they were getting right was Batman.
The issue with that is if the focus is Batman, then they made the wrong film here, and the film comes across as a wasted opportunity. The problem is the objective of the film, which was to do too much, and therefore rush through the underdeveloped story. Looking at it they either should have done a Batman standalone film or a smaller version of this, which focuses on Batman and Superman, not Wonder-Woman, Lois Lane, Perry White, and countless other throwaway characters. This is where Marvel gets it right and DC still hasn’t figured it out.
In the end Batman v. Superman is a decent popcorn flick, that contains amazing visuals and action sequences. The film isn’t really bad, it just isn’t great, when it really could have and therefore should have been. It should be said that while the film is rushed, crowded, paper-thin, and a little repetitive Ben Affleck and Zack Snyder did do a pretty good job getting Batman right, and that leaves potential for this franchise, but it’s hanging on a thread. In the end if you’re on the edge about seeing this film, it depends on what you want, if you want great action and visuals this is your film, if you want great story and characters, this is a weaker film.… Expand

It was ALMOST too many things in one movie but it ended up just balancing that line and then fortunately the movie ended. But I think for me the idea of this super jaded 20 year old vet of a Batman was just great. The take they did with him I thought was brilliant. I know alot of people probably wont like the take on Lex Luthor either but I really enjoyed this version of a Brilliant nutjob Billionaire scientist over the calm and collected usual Lex. I am a diehard Marvel guy but this movie I think beat Age of Ultron (which is heartbreaking for me cause im in love with Iron Man/RDJ) and I think will be better than Civil War as well unfortunately. Yes the movie had some issues but it isnt life shattering issues like people are making it out to be. People are just hating on it because it didnt follow exact comic books or "batman was too mean" or whatever you want to say. I liked the takes on the film alot. And i wanted to stand up and APPLAUD the freaking movie in the first 10 mins when one of the BIGGEST issues I had with Man of Steel was basically addressed right in the beginning of the film and was something that was vocalized and analyzed throughout the film which I thought was great.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOLER ALERT !
So I watched it yesterday and as a diehard DC Fan, it was partly a complete disappointment.
But first the positive aspects : Affleck nailed it, perfect cast as an older Bruce Wayne ( not the best Batman of all time, Bale is nearly impossible to beat, but better than Keaton imo), Gadot was perfect, both as Diana Prince and Wonder Woman, Adams was good to and Jeremy Irons was actually my favourite part of the movie, wheneber he appeared he nailed it, a new , menacing yet chilling kind of Alfred which I enjoyed. Eisenberg was a miscast though, too young, not a physically menacing appearence as Lex Luthor, and overacting for at least half of his screen time.
The actual fight part between Batman and Superman was quite good too, maybe even the best sequence in the movie.
The dark , gritty and serious atmosphere fits really well, although exaggerated sometimes, the general dark look of the movie was enjoyable.
And now to the bad things , and first to mention here is Zack Snyder. Honestly, I have no idea what the executives at Warner Bros. were thinking after Man of Steel to hire him again, sure, Watchmen was quite good, but his style of directing just destroys the whole movie, yeah sure, it looks all fine sometimes, but it just seems way too far from reality, at some pints of the movie, it even appears like a SCi-Fi movie rather than a superhero genre movie.
The whole 3rd act , including a horribly CGI-edited Doomsday, is like Zack Synders wet moive dreams becoming true on the big-screen, and this is just an utterly ugly, huge and unnecessarily loud , huge and temporarily long mess, the movie would have been way better if he had scrapped out or at least reduced the 3rd act, but solely this scene is responsible for making worse.
Another issue of the movie are some immense plot holes, which actually need a logical explanation, which will be hoperfully served with the extendet cut of the movie, otherwise it will only make it, or rather "maintain" it the unsatisfying way it is. And due to this, the narrative is actaully maybe even the worst part of the movie, and once again, Zack Snyder is respinsible for that
It is true that it sticks to the awesome Comics of Frank Miller but, and this might be my personal taste and I might stand alone with that, I don't go to the cinema/ movie theatre to see a movie which is close to something I've already seen and read, I want to see a new, more realistic take on it. It would have been nice if the personal character traits remained like in the comics, but the movie in fact looked to comic-book-y and thus way too unrealisitc at points. I didn't expect a 100% realistic take like the Nolan movies, as the ivolvement of Superman makes this already quite complicated, but it would have been nice if it a bit more believable, because some scenes, if you would have paused it, looked in fact like pages form the original comic book, and I just don't want to see that in the cinema, as in already have it at home.
Hopefully Warner Bros. has finally realised that Synder is the wrong director for such movies, just imagin what George Miller could have done with this source material, I hope the rumours are ture and they will hire him of JLA Part One instead of Synder, and for the sake of Eisenberg, I hope Lex Luthor will be recast too, heard that Matt Damon was considered for the part originally, I could imagine as a possible Lex Luthor.
The cast (except for Eisenberg), teh dark atmosphere sould reamin, but they should really re-think theri decision if it is clever to stick that much to the source material, and in which ways to do so.
All in all, as a DC Fan AND a fan of cinema, this movie was , regarding the fact that the two most beloved and most famous superheroes were in it for the very first time together, alongside the most famous female superhero, it was rather a disappontment previous movies, and I honestly can't believe how some people called it the best superhero moive of all time, it had the potential to be that, but this potential was disrespectfully wasted by Warner Bros, and the main man to blame for, Zack Snyder… Expand

When there finally is action, you can't see anything because of the bad camera angles. Ofcourse there are slomo scenes, but not in fight scenes. Someone gets in a bath or dropped some flowers; slomo. Fight scenes no slomo. When the batmobile arrives I expect an epic intro, but before you know it the scene ended. Forced references which are so bad they're almost comedy. Forced emotional breakdowns which are so predictable and cheesy it hurts. Ben Affleck does do a reasonable job playing Batman, I feel bad for him that the movie has a director who wants to do everything epic. A complete fail and a middle finger to all batman fans.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very Mild Spoilers. I clicked the box just to be sure.

I was so happy I got to see this film. As a fan of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman ever since I was a 8 years old, I was hooked in immediately. This film was made for us DC comic geeks. There were more Easter Eggs than I could count. The characters were well cast, and the action was solid. The shots and cinematography was absolutely stunning. Was it perfect? No. No move is. Even films like The Wrath of Khan have issues. It happens. It was very complex, but I didn't feel it was to the point of being bloated. It was fun, but still dark. It had a sad tone, which I feel may have put people off who are used to lighter, more family-friendly comic book movies.

The cameos to the other Justice League members were brief, but handled well. The Flash appearing through the Speed Force was brilliant. Wonder Woman was powerful. Ben Affleck is THE Batman of a generation, and Henry Cavil was great. The movie tried to balance the personal lives of the heroes with the suited lives, and for the most part, it succeeded. A hyper ambitious film made for adults who love adult themed comic stories.

Most of all, I loved how both Batman and Superman showed forgiveness and mercy towards one another in their fight. There was a moment when they could have easily killed each other, and something stopped them. That's what we all as fans wanted to see.

Thanks so much to Snyder & Co. You pleased this fan greatly! Going to see it again soon!… Expand

Don't get me wrong, the tone of the movie is certainly dour,Batman V Superman is a great superhero movie. It isn't anything like the tried-and-tested Marvel formula, but it isn't, as I've read elsewhere, "completely devoid of all amusement". Don't get me wrong, the tone of the movie is certainly dour, and if you're a fan of that (like me) you'll probably enjoy the movie, but it's not as joyless as Man of Steel was at times, another movie I enjoyed greatly. This movie is a spectacle, it's grand and loud, and by the final action sequence I truly felt like these characters were closer to Gods than most other big name superheros; the scale, while not massive in actuality, seemed immense befitting the characters involved.
It's not without its issues, and the common complaint of off-pacing is something I agree with. It's obvious that there's so much to deal with here that some plot-lines get axed, to be restored in the Director's Cut, but almost to the detriment of the subsequent scenes, which seem to come from nowhere. These segments are few and far between, and they certainly didn't greatly impact my experience watching the movie, but they were noticeable.

Overall I feel like Snyder (who's not a director I can claim to have a great love for) did a pretty great job with fitting all the numerous pieces of this movie together into an action packed, enjoyable story with a solid cast, great visuals, and a reverence for the icons it sports. These are not the same Batman and Superman we've seen over the years, and I'm O.K. with that. Variety is the spice of life after all.… Expand

Its a very well shot movie and the acting for the most part is done well (Stand out performance from Gal and Ben for their versions of WonderWoman and Batman). The visuals are amazing almost right out of pages from the comic book. However, this movie isn't w/o faults. While the story is coherent for the most part there are scenes in which the there was clearly a scene that should've proceeded this one event but it didn't because it was most likely cut to keep the already long run time down below 3 hours. I feel that the Ultimate Cut which is rumored to be rated R will have the better storyline hopefully it won't feel as if it is dragging because of the 3 hours. I think, in my opinion, the weakest performance was Jesse Esienberg. I get what he was trying to do but it just comes off as campy and forced rather than fluid. When you are trying to have a sociopath pretend to be normal the character should behave similar to Hannibal Lector or Dexter Morgan. His way.....just seemed so off. Another compliant that I have which seems to be more about scenes that were cut was how little interaction the two title characters actually received. All the scenes w/ them in the trailers ARE the scenes in which they are together in the movie. I feel like there should've and probably was scenes that were cut from the movie that would've played into this dynamic but unfortunately we wont know till December or early next year when the Blu Ray is released. All in all, I enjoyed this movie and it took a 2nd viewing to really appreciate the movie for what its worth. 6.5/10 based on first viewing, 8/10 after sec viewing.… Expand

I mostly read Marvel, but I love Batman (cliche, I know) as well as some other DC stuff. Also, I wasn't a fan of Man of Steel, but I liked Watchmen and 300 for the most part, so I go into this wanting it to be good, and not thinking that Zack Snyder is the worst director in the history of world.
Probably the biggest criticism I've heard is along the lines of the Man of Steel neck-snap: that Batman kills people. You can say what you want about it not being "true to the characters", but it's clear the source material is no more than a basis for the characters as they are presented.
I don't begrudge the movie that. In fact, part of me likes the balls they show trying to do something different, trying to reinterpret the characters, so the fact that Batman kills people, or that Superman's defining character traits are violent and selfish, really have no bearing on my opinion about this movie. My problem with BvS is a much simpler one: it's a bad movie.
The script is bad, bordering on terrible, both from a story perspective and regarding dialogue. Half of the subplots are completely unnecessary and only serve to clutter the 2.5 hour runtime, and almost all of what moved the plot forward was some combination of boring, contrived, illogical (for the character, not from a viewer's perspective) and unbelievable.
The editing is just as bad as the script. It makes scene transitions (if you can call them that) off-putting at best.
Much like Man of Steel, it really tries to be more than just a blockbuster movie, with themes and motifs (it's actually hilarious to watch for the horses through the movie). The religious symbolism from Man of Steel is back and in much greater volume, as if there wasn't already enough. I think this is the thing that makes me hate it the most. It tries to be "better" than the average superhero movie, to be "art", whatever that means, only to come off as arrogant, ham-fisted nonsense.
On the plus side, the cinematography is stunning (regardless of some spotty CGI at points). Most of the action is pretty good, as are the costumes. Almost all of the performances are better than the script: Affleck, Gadot and Eisenberg, especially, do as well as could be hoped with the roles they were given (Lex Luthor had an especially stupid role, so kudos to him). There were certainly moments I liked, but most of it was boring or just plain bad.… Expand

Con
1)Plot hole that made the movie stupid.
2)Eastern Eggs, I always feel that fan service is unnecessary and sometime it spoil the story telling.
3)Nightmare batman, the costume design is stupid. Personally I don't like the scene of his appearance too but that is because I am a dc fan, normal movie goers will find the scene Okie.
4)ending scene, it is actually nothing bad but people are used to marvel way of separating the ending into two (ending scene and post credit ending scene). It will take some time for people (including me) to get use to it.

Wonder Woman is amazing and given a fantastic and bad ass music piece, with Gal Gadot being the outstanding performance of the film.

Henry Cavill's Superman still suffers and seems to simply be floating from place to place.

Ben Affleck's Batman is great and kicks ass... BUT and this is a big deal: he breaks the moral code of the character often, recklessly and with no remorse, bringing forth something more akin to the Punisher than the Batman we know and love. He is terrifying as he should be but clearly taken to a place the character does not fit.

Jeremy Irons is great as Alfred although he suffers from a lack of scenes and practically no sense of emotional bond between him and Bruce Wayne.

Amy Adam's Lois Lane is horrible in this one. She clearly does what's given to her but what's given is awful: this is a character that doesn't have the wits and sauciness of her comic book counter-part.

Eisenberg's Lex Luthor is the worst thing in the movie, even his soundtrack piece is awful and tacky. He is more of a Joker with some scientific knowledge than the calm, calculating and confident character of the comics.

Lawrence Fishburne's Perry White is a lot different from Man of Steel... long gone is the boss you would love to have, now we have a rabid tabloid fanatic that comes out as immediately dis-likable.

The soundtrack is fantastic although the majority of the set pieces are rehashes from Man of Steel. Again I cannot stress enough the awesomeness of the Wonder Woman track and the terrible Lex Luthor one.

CGI is awful and although the action is well choreographed, the CGI and filming is sloppy with several scenes confusing as a Michael Bay piece.

The plot is awful with lazy and terrible writing. An example without spoiling anything, is that a character throws something away, only to then go get it, only to then throw it away immediately again. Two classic story lines from the comics are present but they are poorly pieced together. The dream/hallucination sequences have no reason to be in the movie, as they are not even explained or of utmost importance, with the first one being ridiculous: after Super Jesus from Man of Steel, another character seems to be suffering the same messianic complex.

The raised moral and ethical questions of the movie are just laid there, mostly by third parties, and although valid and interesting, they are never pursued or analyzed.

Luthor's plot is also ridiculous and I don't mean in the traditional comic book sense: it overly relies on luck and things that couldn't be predicted to happen and yet it simply works with all its flaws, namely one character could have easily been rescued by Superman and yet the movie avoids the issue by pushing the fight with no reason. And the backup isn't even a "break glass in case of emergency" - its executed while the main one is not even halfway done.

Also, Snyder poorly attempts to excuse the destruction and death criticism of Man of Steel being repeated in a very lazy and terrible way: a news report that says most people are already not in the area because its night and their work day is over. Yet the large area is evacuated... immediately in the same scene without even showing said evacuation or without the super- heroes helping. And then immediately again in a harbor scene where the vacated premises are also immediately stated even though it seems forced and no other indications of said thing are shown.

The titular fight itself is great but suffers from the mentioned fast camera shots and CGI, and it is very clearly cut and pasted, with the duration being rather short which is a sour point. Clearly the R-rated Blu-Ray version that is to come out will show what was actually meant to be.… Expand

First thing first you gotta read/watch Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and the on-going Injustice comics, if you are too lazy you should not watch this movie because THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR ONE TIMER. Second you know zack snyder's watchmen right? THIS MOVIE IS JUST AS DARK AS WATCHMEN IS. Third, if you want to have a laugh go watch marvel's movie.
Now the review. It's great in my point of view, Batman always have trust issues with people he's not like superman who see the good sides in people just the way it is. It's too long? nope it's not too long for me, it have a lots of " Easter egg" for the upcoming justice league movie and also lots of comic reference, of course people who doesn't read comics would say it's too long because they don't understand **** and to those who say supe's dead is stupid have you ever read The Death of Superman? of course he will resurrect why would he be in the justice league's poster if he's not in the movie? the only problem was the miscast of jesse eisenberg he resemble more of joker than lex luthor who is smart and always a few steps in front of his foes… Expand

I'm literally baffled as to how anyone can call this mess an "authentic adaptation" or "true to the source material."

The film still has its moments, and the casting of "Batfleck" turned out far better than the internet assumed it would, but the writing is poor, the editing is worse, and there are parts I still don't know what the hell I was seeing. The movie was about 45 minutes too long, and hopefully DC either boots or leashes Zack Snyder going forward.… Expand

Though my opinion seems at odds with many critics, I think Zack Snyder has done a terrific job realising the world of Batman and Superman for the silver screen; an outstanding achievement by an accomplished and incredibly talented director. Thank you Snyder for your contribution to the DC Universe.

Fans can swear up and down that this is a "serious" superhero flick....but it isnt. All the plotholes and illogical pacing make this the funniest superhero movie I have ever seen. Cavill is once again human cardboard in a suit, Batfleck is all style while betraying source material, and I'm pretty sure Lex Luthor is really The Riddler from Batman Forever. The redundancies fly high, from stopping an alien who destroyed a city....by destroying a city; to Luthor knowing way too much because he apparently traveled to normal Earth and stole the BvS script.

Despite the runtime being too long, it still isnt enough for Znyder to make a coherent set-up for the Justice League. Oh yeah, Wonder Woman was there for a bit and it was about as good as a quick cameo can get. There is no quick cameo on Earth thats good enough to save a 150-minute mess though....

Also, I can't imagine any kid going to see this and not being bored to tears...if it was made for comic fans, then they should've dropped the PG-13 rating.… Expand

(Spoiler free) I'm a superhero fan both DC and Marvel, with Batman being my favourite character. BvS was extremely disappointing for me especially considering it is the setup for the future of DC's movie slate.

It's hard to judge a movie(Spoiler free) I'm a superhero fan both DC and Marvel, with Batman being my favourite character. BvS was extremely disappointing for me especially considering it is the setup for the future of DC's movie slate.

It's hard to judge a movie sometimes but I think one of the best ways to do it is ask yourself; "would I buy this movie on BR/DVD, and watch it without skipping scenes?" In my case, it would be no and I'm surprise and again, disappointed by that.

CONS:
Obviously, the movie will rake in the money and the movies will continue to be made, but I seriously hope directors, editors and story lines are given serious thought in the future because this was a failure.
First up, and it's not a concern for me, but no, don't take your KIDS. It is violent, but more so the slow build-up and overly long run time will have the kids fidgeting to get out :)
Also, if you are not familiar with some superhero lore, there could be a fair bit of confusion. I would hope the already announced directors cut will flesh some of the elements out, however there is a difference between "easter eggs," and simply not bothering to explain things.
The editing was horrible - seriously some of the worst in cinema. Beyond mixing in dreams with real life scenarios, the constant cutting from scene to scene didn't make sense as not all of them were related. Snyder - try finishing a scene and then moving on to the next one. If you are concerned the scene will be too boring or slow in one hit...well, maybe it shouldn't be there.
As mentioned, the run time is WAY too long. When you watch it you'll understand - do we really need that first 5mins or so. Aren't we done with origins...?
The story line...it was okay but had serious issues. Superman's reason to fight Batman (the reason you are going to see the movie!) is ridiculous. It really degraded Superman and while it could of made Lex look really powerful, it just fell flat, as did the resolution.
The introduction of other meta-humans....why like that? It was SO poor. Seeing less of them in the ending monologue would of been better suited and, in my opinion, more exciting for fans.
Lex Luthor was miscast big time....but not as lame as Doomsday who probably could of been held off until a future movie to be fleshed out. And Lois Lane - so fiery in MoS. In BVs - I lost count how many times she had to be rescued, and sometimes over bigger concerns.
Finally, the action was a mix of awesome....and a complete mess....Michael Bay "Transformers" mess. Sometimes it was hard to know what was happening when, and to whom...

PROS:
Batman!! (And I'm not being bias). Ben Affleck did a fantastic job and I can only hope a standalone Batman movie is created featuring Affleck as Batman in his prime. The warehouse scene...best ever.

5/10: Hoping for better in the future.… Expand

Already I can see that my score will stir some form of dismay for the fans who have been waiting years and years to finally see the Caped Crusader battle it out against the Man of Steel in a clunky, overplotted and somewhat choppy movie.Already I can see that my score will stir some form of dismay for the fans who have been waiting years and years to finally see the Caped Crusader battle it out against the Man of Steel in a clunky, overplotted and somewhat choppy movie.

Zack Snyder's 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' introduces yet again, another chapter in the DC Cinematic Universe. We get a glimpse of Bruce Wayne's (Ben Affleck) backstory, which has been told many times before. If you have seen any other "Batman" installments, including the widely acclaimed 'Batman Begins' (2005), then you know the story anyway. We see Bruce during the events of when Superman (Henry Cavill) and General Zod (Michael Shannon) caused huge destruction in Metropolis which we saw in 'Man of Steel' (2013). The Wayne Enterprises building goes down leaving many of his employees either dead, or heavily injured.

This is pretty much a good reason for the two juggernauts to fight, this is also a very political movie. Amy Adams returns as Lois Lane, Superman's love interest, and she feels concerned. My issue with her character in this movie is that she did not need to be there. Lois Lane is nothing more than just a plot device and keeps the movie short, which isn't saying much given how this movie is roughly 2 and a half hours long. You can actually feel the run time which is not a good thing.

We see Affleck's Batman and his Bat Cave, along with his witty butler Alfred (Jeremy Irons), who mainly guides and helps Bruce throughout his journey.

We also meet Lex Luthor (a miscast Jesse Eisenberg), who plans on taking one of the Kryptonian species and making something deadly which I will not spoil. Gal Gadot plays Wonder Woman, as many of you will expect, and she does not make that much of an appearance until some time in the very end of this movie. She is also another plot device, and build up to another movie, if you can guess what that movie is supposed to be, you are not wrong.

What this movie lacked was focus, the editing was choppy and the story was all over the place. It tries to jump back and forth between Batman and Superman's point of view, but the movie does not know where to stop one person's point of view, and begin the other. It just cuts to what Batman is doing, and then it cuts to whatever Superman is doing. The entire first two acts of the movie is build up to Batman and Superman battling it out, while the last act of the movie mainly uses itself to build up a certain Justice League movie. The way that was done felt extremely shoehorned, and almost strange as it felt like a different movie.

So, what was the fight between Batman and Superman like? It was...okay! That sentence alone can scream disappointment among many fans. Without spoiling too much, the fight between the two only takes up a mere 10% of this 2 and a half hour film. The fight itself, while neatly choreographed, mainly involves one character staring down at the other, picking them up slowly, and hurling them against a wall. Then they repeat this until something happens which stops the fight, and to make things worse, I actually rolled my eyes. That is not what you want when you are watching one of the biggest movie events of the year.

On a more positive note, Ben Affleck is actually very superior as Batman, he has the right build, his voice sounded intimidating, and overall, I think he did a good job in the role given the massive backlash Affleck received when it was announced that he would be taking on such a role.

But Jesse Eisenberg was never going to convince me as Lex Luthor, he has this annoying twitch, he talks too fast, he tries to look and seem eccentric, but it came off as annoying and childish.

The entire movie is nothing but trailer shots, and the tone of this movie was incredibly gloomy, and almost not filled with any joy whatsoever. The pacing is very uneven, the first two acts which tries to build up the epic fight is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. The fight itself dragged from time to time, and the movie takes a long time to end, you will sit there thinking "Okay, now it will end!", "No, wait, it'll end here", "Come on, you faded to black, it should end!".

Overall, 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' is a crushing disappointment, an unfocused mess that looks so beautiful, and the music by Hans Zimmer, is so poetic, it hurts to see that this movie is a mess. I just wish that maybe Zack Snyder would put story before visuals, instead of visuals before story. At the very beginning, you get close-up shots, and constant slow motion, from that moment on, you know where the movie is going.… Expand

Zack Snyder's comic book movies feel like they make fidelity to the source material a priority and that they're made by people who read and appreciate the material from which they're based. I would describe BvS in this way; imagine if someone made a movie of Superman and the Legion of Superheroes (Action Comics #858-863) and tried to stay as close to the material as possible. That movie, I think, would kind of move and feel the same way BvS does. There are moments when the movie moves fast, others when it slows down, but they all build on each other and in the end we're left with human characters and their frailties. There's a Batman on a crusade who must face his own demons at a really tense moment in the film. A Wonder Woman who has been fighting the good fight for a long time and has her own back story and raison d'etre. And a Superman who struggles to do the right thing and sometimes can't manage to. They come together in the final battle and it's pretty awesome. I don't usually enjoy comic book movies, but I find Snyder's films enjoyable. I can't wait to get it on Blu Ray.… Expand

First off the movie has 7-10 opening scenes (depending on what you classify as an opening scene), and 3-4 false endings. Then after 2 hours of unnecessarily complicated buildup (that could have been done in 1 hour or even 30 minutes), they fight. The first 10 minutes of fighting is great, then it becomes man of steel (over the top, silly and epically serious action). The movie tries to tell too many stories at once leading to the viewer not getting enough time to care about any of them.
When the movie is over I got a feeling that this entire movie is just a very long and expensive trailer for Justice League...

Visually it all looks good and the action is "cool", but just like any Znyderfilm, the action takes the focus and the characters and story becomes less important (even though they tell it for way to long).

The Batman-part is really good, and the take on the character feels fresh, dark, and angry, just how I like Batman. Affleck is great, and stars in a pretty good 40 minute batman movie. Sadly it has been squeezed into a 2 hour remake of man of steel.

The Superman part is, superman...same as always. Superman fight's superalienmonster, loves Lois Lane, destroys the city and feels over the top and clichéd.

Batman should be fighting deranged criminal masterminds, not intergalactic cavetrolls. Also batman shouldn't be shooting people with pistols and machineguns (whether it's in a dream or not).
That's another problem: this movie has as least 3 "it was all a dream"- scenes.

All and all It's worth a watch, but only because of Affleck. I want to see a standalone Batfleck film.

Btw. RoboBat is amazing.… Expand
