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

It's a total waste of time. It's just Civil War but worse, which was already a mediocre film. Very boring! This movie is no good!

I don’t think Zac should adapt anything from comics or history like with 300 because it’ll be wrong and bad. Watch The Comic from Gumball instead

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

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

First, I am biased because I love Batman. Second, I have read the comic from the 80s that Injustice and this movie were based on : The Dark Knight Returns. Go read that-don't watch the animated films.

This film surprised me in a few ways,First, I am biased because I love Batman. Second, I have read the comic from the 80s that Injustice and this movie were based on : The Dark Knight Returns. Go read that-don't watch the animated films.

This film surprised me in a few ways, Bat-Fleck was cool and he had very advanced technology. The shots were beautiful and the score is amazing-Hans Zimmer kills it.

The bad- Lois is still obnoxious and always in places she doesn't belong. Wonder Woman is a strong point of interest and has like 5 whole minutes of screen time. This movie revolves around the past instead of Superman and Batman going back forth. The scene where the flash comes back from the future is very confusing to any non-comic fan. Lex is sort of atrocious, any actor would have looked more like Lex anyway. Then the entire justice league is introduced to the DC cinematic universe in brief videos that Batman finds on a file that Lex had. If Lex knew about these guys then what has he been doing?! Doomsday is a cool villain and I love that he kills Superman, but the audience will not feel satisfied because the conflict is between Batman and Superman. Shoving Doomsday in the plot feels cheap.

I personally feel Man of Steel is a better film-and that is also far from perfect.… Expand

These aren't holes you ask yourself on the 3rd viewing; you're asking yourself during the 1st viewing. Marvel has found a technique that really works but D.C. (My fav superhero is Batman by far..have 1200+ Batman comics) just can't get the latest universe on track. Haven't seen Suicide Sauad yet but reviews don't seem to be overwhelmingly positive. I gave BvS a 6 but it's really closer to 6.6. Its good enough to watch a few times but could have been great w/o the silly story holes.… Expand

Following immediately after the events of the first movie, "BvS" sets the stage for Zack Snyder's (yet to be released) "Justice League Trilogy". Snyder's approach is one of solemn reverence, showcasing comicbook characters in a mature and grounded fashion, not attempted before, (or since), on screen. The sheer emotional gravitas with which Snyder envisions the subject matter, and the complexity in his use of art and literary analysis, may not be palatable for the general audience, but pays homage to the some of the most iconic tales in the DC Universe, thus transcending to the status of cinema.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice does what it says on the box. It's a shows the whole Justice League before the movie that's set to release in 2017. The movies does have areas where it excels, but as whole, considering this is a movie that has two of some of the biggest fictional characters in history, not exceptional. I am speaking as a fan of both Marvel and DC, and wanting both the MCU and the DCEU to succeed. This review will mostly be spoiler free, but I will label the areas that have a spoiler with a "SPOILER ALERT". I have seen this movie twice, so I can get a better judgement on the film.

Pros:
- Ben Affleck, Jeremy Irons and Gal Gadot (as brief as she is in this movie) do amazingly well portraying Batman/Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth and Wonder Woman/Diana Prince respectively. They do their characters justice (pun intended?)
- The fight scenes. The fight between Batman and Superman and the warehouse scene especially. Brilliant choreography with Batman.
- Bruce Wayne's perspective on the events in Man of Steel. It kind of humanizes those events. Makes them feel more grounded.

Cons:
- Too many different stories. You have a Batman story, a Superman story, a Batman and Superman story, a bit of a Justice League origin story. And story telling does feel a little messy (SPOILER ALERT especially with the dream sequences).
- Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. In the comics Lex Luthor is a person so charismatic and charming while also extremely manipulative, methodical and intelligent, all of these traits which lead him to become President. Even if WB isn't going down the same route, I don't see this Lex Luthor becoming President. Not to mention his plan is a little convoluted.
- The reason for the conflict between the two heroes. The reason why Batman and Superman end up fighting could of been solved if they just talked it out. (SPOILER ALERT! Lex kidnaps Superman's mother and threatens to kill her unless Superman kills Batman).
- Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, while great, feels a little shoehorned in the movie.
- Henry Cavill's Superman. I get that it's a more dark and gritty Superman, but he doesn't feel inspirational, and he hardly cracks a smile when he is Superman. I'm not expecting Christopher Reeve's level of smiles and happiness, but for example when there's a montage of him saving people, he doesn't smile or give reassurance once. I don't think this is Cavill's problem, probably more the script or the direction. Not to mention that he seems a little brutal. For example, in the beginning of the movie, Lois is taken hostage by a terrorist, Superman confronts him and then end ups tackling him through 2 walls.

In conclusion, I find that Batman v Superman wasn't great, it was mediocre which is disappointing. This is all JUST MY OPINION, but I'd say to just wait until it's on SBO or something.… Expand

It had some issues, mostly plot or directing issues. Which makes sense since they had a second writer come in half way and changed things and then they took out a half-hour worth of the movie for the theaters and it shows in sloppiness and abrupt scenes. Which, in a movie this big and important, is in of itself somewhat unforgivable. I will mention this: The tone of the movie is much like Man of Steel. If you truly hated the darker tone of that movie, you are not going to like BVS because it is as, or is even more so, grim as MOS. Personally, I love the tone of DC's harder take on the superhero genre. But I don't really make that part of my judgement of the movie. You either like it or you don't.
In terms of acting I liked it across the board. Affleck was good (suprise!), Cavill was decent. Gal Gadot/Wonder Woman was AWESOME! I was so worried about her and her parts of the movie made me outright smile. She is exactly the way i hoped they would go with her character. Can't wait for her solo movie next year. Eisenberg as Luthor was up and down. He was truly terrific in some parts and flat or stupid in others. Definitely a product of the re-writes, i would bet money on it. Jeremy Irons was very fun as Alfred. A more hands on, smart ass version of Alfred. The "Dawn of Justice" parts of the movie are also a mixed bag, but mostly because they are part of the weird placement and pace issues of the middle/later parts of the movie. The actual "cameos" are interesting, I would have liked them more...organized or better presented. You'll see.
I won't go into spoilers, and there are plenty. The first hour of this movie is riveting (10/10). The middle is okay, plot and pace get wonky (7/10), and then the ending is a bizarre mix of mind-blowing goodness or crappy in rapid fire. The fights are jaw dropping (and honestly worth the price of admission), but then the plot and connecting the dots towards the end go off the rails and some are just unispired (4/10). While it should be fairly clear if you are a comics fan, but the average viewer probably missed a lot. So I would give it a 7/10 overall.… Expand

Folks, I can’t say I’ve ever been so torn on a movie before. I usually come out of a movie feeling one way or anotherFor starters - you can follow The Movie Spot on Twitter (@themoviespot_) and Facebook for more stuff. Here's our review:

Folks, I can’t say I’ve ever been so torn on a movie before. I usually come out of a movie feeling one way or another about it, and it’s very rare that get both feelings of that it was good and bad. But, here I am, the morning after seeing it and I’m absolutely torn on where I stand. And because of that, truthfully, this cannot be seen as a win for this movie or DC. I wanted this movie to win me over, but when I left the theater last night, I left with mixed emotions, and after reading through several reviews this morning from all other media outlets, I’m not alone. Right now on Metacritic, the critic score is 44 (out of 100), while the audience score is at 73. That’s a big gap. For comparison, both Avenger movies hover around the high 60s, low 70s for both critic and audiences, so universally people enjoyed those films, but here, there is a clear divide and I can’t decide where I stand.

I sat through the first half of the movie, which is 2 1/2 hours long, and felt it was a chess match. Pieces were being moved towards an end game, but it was just so slow that it was hard to believe I was watching a movie called Batman v. Superman. They started with the origins of Batman, for the 500th time, that just felt unnecessary. At this point, there is a Batman movie/show for every generation that could have seen this movie, to go through the origins again is just tedious. And out of all they skipped in Batmans story, showing the origin again just seemed like a bad decision. They let the audiences infer on everything Batman went through in Gotham as the vigilante, but showed us the one thing everyone knows. It’s clear that this Batman has seen a thing or two. He’s lost Robin, he mentioned The Joker, he mentioned that he’s seen many other “bad people”. He also seems like he’s OK with killing now, and has me thinking of the past villains and where they are. Are they dead? We saw how easy it was for Batman to kill in this movie, so did he rid Gotham of the notorious villains, or are they alive? People were very quick to praise Ben Affleck as the “Best Batman ever”. I really liked his performance, he played it with the grit and seasoning needed for an aged Batman, but he hasn’t even gotten his own movie yet. Though, we got more than enough of him here, I still want to see Affleck perform in his own standalone Batman movie before putting him on that pedestal.

The “other guy” in the title, was featured heavily throughout the movie. In the trailers, Superman seemed like the antagonist of this movie, but as the movie went on, I couldn’t help but feel for him. His home is destroyed, he’s sent to Earth as a way to save his life, and all he’s done since, or try to do, is keep it safe. And he’s even tried to stay low key by keeping his job at The Daily Planet, move into an apartment with Lois Lane, and we don’t see him actively trying to do anything within the world, unless Lois is in trouble. It seems like Henry Cavill is headed towards being the best Superman in movie history as I assume he’ll be playing it for the next 5 years through this phase of DC movies, and that’s great news because he just fits everything that makes Superman, Superman. Let’s just hope we can get him in a definitively good movie during his time.

DC has done a poor job getting people to really want to see The Justice League. The comparisons to Marvel are inevitable, and I have to do it here. Marvel established, legitimately, 4 main characters and 3 side characters before getting to The Avengers. DC is going into Justice League with a rebooted Batman, a pretty good Superman, a pretty good Wonder Woman (whose movie comes out before Justice League next year) and 3 other main characters who we won’t know much about. I don’t think I’m asking for too much here. Marvel has been so calculated in their steps, and giving the fans small teasers of the future while establishing what they have. DC has done the exact opposite. How could any fan get behind that?

Go see the movie, on pure spectacle alone, it must be seen. You may even enjoy this movie, if you lower your expectations. But I have to say, DC missed another opportunity to show the world that they can hang in the comic book cinematic universe.… Expand

But the rest of the movie doesn't make sense. Too many times, you're left wondering what just happened or why someone on screen is doing something. Sure, all the self-avowed comic book nerds will scream "Move Past It!"; but after awhile it get tedious to not have anything make sense. You really can't look past all that and then give the movie a good review.

The tone of this movie works for Batman; but IMHO this is not what Superman deserves; and coupled with the nonsensical plot; this is not what any of the big three (Bats, Supes, WW) deserve.

So yeah, a 5. You can see glimpses of something great in this film, but there's ultimately too much going on with little connective plot. The action is done well; but the reason for the action is kind of left out.… 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

Pacing/Editing - Notice this right away. The movie at times jumps around lot. Some scenes aren't fleshed out , while some do drag.. You can tell right away that many scene were cut to get this movie under 3hrs..

Now for the positives:
Cast is great , I don't care what anyone say I loved this cast , they all did a great job. The interpretations of the characters fit for the movie & where we are at in the DCEU. I think its crazy for many to complain about these characters (specifically Bats & Supes) when the characters arc isn't even complete in this universe.Patience !. I dug Lex , yea he was annoying at times , but that was the point ... He was one of the best Villains we seen in in the last 6 yrs in any Comic Book Movie.. the fact that we finally have a villain that actually acts like a Super Villain, it was a pleasure to see the bad guy actually bring our heroes to their knees.. Gal didn't have much to work with but on screen she became Wonder Women, loved the look the accent , looking forward to her movie..Batfleck was great best onscreen batman & I'm a big fan of Keaton's.. Cavil again played Supes well , can't wait to see him in JL

Story- I loved this story & the world building.. Many people complain, yes it's a lot to take in , But I give them Kudos for such a big ambitious story .. The level of detail , research put into this movie was great..This is a movie you must watch multiple times as you will find yourself noticing something new every time.. It was refreshing not watching your traditional CBM , a movie that actually forces you to pay attention, as there are many subplot to go along w/ the central plot.. It doesn't hold your hand or any bars, you won't be spoon-fed. The 1st half of the movie plays out much like a Thriller / Drama.. Each scene is imperative to the story, each piece of dialogue will tell you exactly what you need to know ( actions, motives, characteristics)

action - Typical Synder , its his strong point ..it's awesome , from the opening to the end, each action scene is straight from the pages of a comic book ..yes the CGI is shotty in some spots , but what CBM isn't ..

It's fine that many didn't like the movie, but i think people should give it another chance. It really is something we never saw before in the CBM universe.. Yes, it jumps around, yes, unless your a big comic book fan some scenes you probably won't get.. But that's what makes it fun (to me at least), It keeps the movie fresh as you will find yourself doing research after you watch BvS..… Expand

Before I start rambling I must state that I have never read any DC comics or a fanboy of Marvel, however both I grew up with super man and batman animation and both heroes are a significant part of my childhood. (sigh...)

Here I go, as aBefore I start rambling I must state that I have never read any DC comics or a fanboy of Marvel, however both I grew up with super man and batman animation and both heroes are a significant part of my childhood. (sigh...)

Here I go, as a superhero movie I think this movie is good. I love the action scenes, and props to Zack Snyder for some of the best imagery from the recent spew of superhero movies. While I first cringed at Affleck being Batman, I think he is a better Bruce Wayne than Bale in the Dark Knight. While it pains me to say, as a movie lover, Batman Vs Superman failed as a normal movie due to its bizarre story telling.

While superheros movies these days make a big deal of bait the audience of the next sequel, by setting up future characters in their movies, what Batman Vs Superman did was just confusing. Flashbacks, dream sequences, time traveling characters, and barrage of endless confusing exposition. Not to mentions the gaping plots holes, personally is it very difficult for me to get invested in the movie. The flimsy motives of our Heroes' fight as well as Joker Jr. ( Opps, I meant Lex Luther Jr.) weird logic for hating Superman is so odd. If I want to be knitpick-y I would go over my character limit. BUT the point is, while there are definitely great moments, I'm reminded by the many many things that were wrong with this movie.

I understand that DC comic fans may hold this movie dear to their heart, but this film despite awesome moment is very flawed. If I don't google the weird dream sequences and time traveling parts, this movie would have made way less sense. While fans may claim superheroes movies are made for them, the majority of said movie watcher are not comic book fans. While it is difficult for a movie to be good, it is not difficult for a movie to make sense to the public. While I would not watch this movie again, I do not hate this movie. I'm just disappointed.… 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 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

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.

The only good side is the visuals, that are really beautiful (in most of the film, not in the entire film). But all the rest (The assassin personality of Batman, the interpretation of Lex Luthor, the fragility of Lois Lane, the 'Matha' problem, the bad CGI in Doomsday scenes, the absense of motivation for them to fight, the absense of motivation for them to STOP the fight, etc, etc, etc...) are very bad. Almost terrible. And the worst part, for me, is the intepratation of Henry Cavil. The jugedment scene could be epic. But after the explosion and everybody dead, Superman's face is like "Oh... Ok...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its not an epic movie if you don't have a real and understandable situation. It's not an action movie if theres only 10 minutes of figth and they get united for a stupid reason. Its not an "adult movie" with drama if the characters are bland and they dont present any emotion at all. And, to finish, its nit a superhero movie if the villain doesnt have a real motivation, if theres a lot of future references that makes the movie even more slower and if Batman and Superman are constantly killing people and they dont act like Batman and Superman. Because Superman is the ligth of hope and he always wants the best for the people and Batman is a darker superhero but always tries to do his best to keep the people safe, but instead we have a Batman 2.0 and a serial killer with a costume.
Just because it said so, doesnt mean that is shown on the movie.
I really had a lot of expectations on this movie, but its a mess, trying to have its cinematic universe and to be a competition to Marvel.
Sorry DC, but you are to late. My only hope is on Suicide Squad and if it is another stupid movie like this one, i will say goodbye to the DCCU.… Expand

But anyway, I was really looking forward to this film. The original trailer promised a god-like Superman coming to blows with a mecha-Batman in a clash of ideologies, which was kind of ironic, now I think about it, since they both believe the other has too much power and freedom to operate as they choose. The subsequent trailers then pretty much laid out the entire plot for the film, which you'd kind of guessed anyway, ruining any hope of the surprise you knew you wouldn't realistically get.

Problems with this film then:

Lex Luthor? I wasn't really that bothered. Jesse Eisenberg plays him as a bit of a classical, self-chatty, madman, rather than the cool, calculating Lex we are used to. He's still the master-manipulator though. Changing Lex was always going to divide opinion.

Ben Affleck? I liked him as Batman. The original fears about him being fat and broody (sad Batman meme? Hilarious!) were unfounded. I can report that he is no more Broody than Nolan's Batman and considerably more hench. I liked the Batfleck fine.

The showdown! I was really into the BvS build-up and even the fight. Pretty cool stuff. The problem is the ridiculous CGI overload that comes after. I'm pretty sure that was when my girlfriend would've walked out of the cinema and driven home - if I hadn't wisely kept the car keys.

The insanely blatant in-movie marketing campaign for the next batch of DC movies. Yes, we are seeing a DC movie and may wish to see other DC movies, but actually warping the plot to fit these adverts? Making us watch mini-trailers in-film? My girlfriend, who had enjoyed the Nolan Batman films but has no idea about other superhero characters was completely perplexed by all the snippets of Aquaman and Psyborg Guy etc. TOO MUCH and TOO IN YOUR FACE. DC: please watch Captain America: Civil War to see it done more gracefully.

Batman kills people. I'm not a massive Batman fan. I think he's ridiculous - wait! hear me out! Batman's main weapon is fear, so imagine I'm a Gotham criminal. Why the hell would I be scared of getting caught by Batman, which is unlikely and at worst will result in my broken bones and imprisonment, when Gotham PD are a much more likely threat and may well shoot me dead??? You cannot have a supposedly dark, scary anti-hero that definitely won't kill you. Nonsense. Sorry, I digressed: my point was that even though I'm not a fan and not bothered, I know that it would be sacrilege for many, many fans to have Batman killing and so should Zack Snyder.

To summarise: good looking, tense and entertaining up to and including the BvS fight (if you ignore the ads), turn off after that.… Expand

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

I think it is also important to note that while I may have a slight preference for Marvel's properties; I stillBatman vs. Superman is DC's effort to launch the DC cinematic universe and kind of succeeds despite a few stumbles along the way. I think it is also important to note that while I may have a slight preference for Marvel's properties; I still have a fondness for DC's iconic characters. I know enough about the characters that I questioned several things in the film and was disappointed to see some of my worst fears were realized.

I feel that your personal enjoyment of the film as with any other is a subject of your personal biases and experiences. This film is a decidedly darker film which I am not entirely opposed to if it fits the character. In this case I don't think the darker tone is the film's biggest problem. It fits the darker interpretation of Affleck's Batman which is absolutely brutal. This batman is the darkest that I have seen in a while. I will openly admit I had my concerns about Affleck being cast but I am glad to say that he delivers a fantastic performance. I can't wait to see him in a solo Batman film. However that doesn't change how I feel about the characterization of this interpretation of Batman and Superman. Batman in the comics has always had a strong moral code. One that despite wanting to kill the Joker he refuses to cross that line. In this film he straight up kills common thugs. Superman on the other hand has very little dialogue and spends much of the film brooding and glaring.

The other casting choices are all relatively solid. Gal Gadot delivers a great Wonder Woman and like Affleck I can't wait to see the solo Wonder Woman film. Jeremy Irons plays a more active Alfred which is nice to see. Amy Adams reprises her role as Lois Lane which along with Martha Kent adds a human element to the film that balances its darker tones. The exception is Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal as Lex Luthor. Its important to note that this is not the Lex Luthor many may have been expecting as he plays Lex Luthor's son. His performance could best be summed up as erratic. As other reviewers have put it; it feels like Jesse Eisenberg is playing Jesse Eisenberg. His performance is easily one of the film's biggest flaws. I found him to be obnoxious and annoying.

The movie is about two and a half hours long and its pacing issues are compounded by its runtime. The beginning to middle are very heavy on dialogue and exposition. The themes presented are intriguing but are hard to digest given the number of them. Its dream sequences and jump cuts to entirely different scenes undermine the overall narrative. The other problem I feel is that while the action sequences were great; Zack Snyder isn't a great storyteller. There are several plot holes in the film that leave you questioning the logic behind them.

The biggest fear I had going into the film was that it would repeat the same mistake Spiderman 3 made where characters felt crammed in. I was disappointed to have that fear confirmed. There are 5 major storylines presented in the span of this one film. The "Dawn of Justice" was oversold a bit. However I do think that I would have preferred the solo films before the ensemble like Marvel has done. In the end I think BvS is a film that had parts I really liked while it had others that left me scratching my head. DC now has the foundation out of the way to build upon for the Justice League though its a rocky foundation at best.… Expand

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.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very disappointing story. It made Batman/Bruce Wayne out to be a brainless individual. In the comics he was never stupid like this potrayal.
Too dark and serious with extremely limited humour (which these type of films need)
I think they realised because Suicide Squad was much better.
Hoping the lesson is also learned for the Wonder Woman and Justice League movies.

Released after "Man of Steel", the film seeks to be a logical continuity of its story, taking advantage of a rivalry relationship created between Superman and Batman. The film is a super-production, an expensive and visually flashyReleased after "Man of Steel", the film seeks to be a logical continuity of its story, taking advantage of a rivalry relationship created between Superman and Batman. The film is a super-production, an expensive and visually flashy blockbuster with a luxury cast and directed by Zack Snyder, but it doesn't always work well, as we'll see.

The film has many points of value, but the script is surely one of the most serious problems of this production. I appreciated the effort to try to relate to the previous film, but everything else fails badly: in the eagerness to try to justify its two and a half hours, this film gets as complicated as possible, with several subplots that do not receive attention, a barrage of characters and a far-fetched main plot, where a young and troubled Lex Luthor tries to turn Batman and Superman against each other. In fact, I got the idea that the film could be reduced to an hour and a half in length without any harm.

The film has a luxury cast, led by two big names: Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck. The execution of both is, however, highly dissonant: on the one hand, Affleck gives us one of the most complete and interesting works of his recent career, with great commitment from the actor and excellent results... on the other hand, Cavill seems to be out of the character, or making a titanic effort to fit in with her, which seems surreal considering how competent and dextrous he seemed to me in the preceding film. Jeremy Irons, who needs no introduction and has more than a handful of proofs in this art, has proven to be impeccable as Alfred, and Jesse Eisenberg steals our attention whenever he appears, in the shoes of an especially manic and psychopathic Lex Luthor. Less exciting is the participation of Amy Adams, who did everything she could, but was put in a corner by a script that doesn't really know how to take advantage of her. We could almost say the same for Gal Gadot, were it not for his stunning appearance closer to the end in the role of Wonder Woman. Laurence Fishburne is good, but I felt there was nothing here that he hadn't already shown in the previous movie.

Technically, the film is a visual spectacle based on an intelligent and deft use of all the CGI and visual effects resources available to Snyder. The cinematography is very good and the filming and camera work works very well. The film has a series of action scenes, with particular emphasis on the entire final sequence, which lasts about half an hour and is a real effects show that will delight lovers of this type of resource. The film also has good costumes and an excellent soundtrack, which is signed by Hans Zimmer.… Expand

I find him incredibly charming as Bruce Wayne while also portraying the jaded and the rage-filled Batman perfectly. Gal Gadot is introduced as Wonder Woman in this movie and is honestly still one of the best parts. She is very elegant and mysterious as Diana but then an absolute badass as Wonder Woman. Jeremy Irons is snarky and wise as the beloved Alfred as well. Henry Cavill returns as Superman and Amy Adams returns as Lois Lane with both still doing a great job in their respective roles. There are some other supporting actors new and returning who all do fine jobs as well.

The cinematography by Larry Fong is really good and visually there are still some great shots. Hans Zimmer returns to score but is now collaborating with Junkie XL and it is an absolute phenomenal score. The Batman theme is amazing, the Wonder Woman theme is exciting and the Lex Luthor theme is unsettling. There is more oomph in the score thanks to Junkie XL which makes the action scene feel more thrilling. On that note, the action scenes concerning Batman are exceptional. The Metropolis destruction but from Bruce Wayne perspective is one of the most exciting intros in a superhero movie ever. It also perfectly captures the destruction from a bystander view and also illustrates exactly why Batman hates Superman. The Batmobile chase sequence is also quite a stand-out with how awesome it is. Just seeing the Batmobile destroy everything in its path is fun to watch. The Batman warehouse fight scene is the best to have ever graced the screen. It is choreographed amazingly and shot in such a way that it is easy to see what is going on while still feeling every punch. However, the same can't be said with the Batman vs Superman fight. Rewatching it again makes me see how underwhelming this fight is. The first thing to note that is only one fight between these two characters in a 3-hour movie which already sucks but the fight itself is visually boring. It's choreographed in a way that feels like it is from a slapstick comedy. Superman launches him through some walls, Batman gases him and then punches him in the face for a bit, repeat and that's the fight. Superman acts dumb in the fight and Batman just moves slowly due to the armour which leads to a really silly fight to watch. I think people tear into it a lot but the fight resolution of Martha is still quite silly. I think the idea behind it is fine with Batman realizing Superman's humanity. It's just that the scene doesn't convey this very well and put too much emphasis on the "Martha" name instead of the human aspect. It's also executed very clunkily which leads to an ironically hilarious scene when it shouldn't be. The fight against Doomsday at the end is just a big CGI-fest against some dark grey looking thing at night. It's hideous to look at with its abundant of grey and black colours with overly flashy lights that just makes it seem dull. The story has 4 perspectives with the Batman one being the best. His hatred for Superman is understandable and trying to get the Kryptonite to fight him is the most easily enjoyable parts. On the other hand, Superman's perspective is so boring and forgettable. The people treating him like a hero or a god while some detesting him is fine. It's just he is so mopey in every scene which makes every scene involving him just not fun to watch. There is also a weird part in his arc where he goes into a snow mountain and hallucinates his dad which was just so dumb. The Ultimate edition adds more Clark Kent investigation which adds more to it and shows that he dislikes the brutality of his method and the fear he causes which is more understandable. Lois Lane is also another perspective with her trying to figure out who is producing this mysterious bullet. It's a very pointless perspective and quite a waste of time considering it amounts to something that the audience already knows, Lex Luthor was the one who did it! Lex is also the last perspective with him dealing with senators who obstruct him and him building a monster just because I guess? His perspective is fine for the plot but it's not enjoyable to watch because of the actor.

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor is one of the worst casting choices I have ever seen. While every other actor feels grounded and serious, Jesse Eisenburg feels very cartoony and over the top. It's made worst as a majority of his lines are dumb. There are some great lines from Lex but they are poorly executed because of Jesse's terrible performance. His character's motivation is understandable but his whole plan is borderline ridiculous and convoluted. The noted Knightmare sequence just happens midway through the movie without any setup or any reference later. Likewise for the future flash sequence which you think Batman would make a note of later but doesn't. There is also the famous Wonder Woman checks her email sequence that is just so unnecessary.… Expand

The visual effects aren't awful, but it's strange to think that a film with a budget of $250 million dollars is not capable of delivering a great visual result. Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams and Ben Affleck do what they can with their charisma to make up for the thankless script. Jesse Eisenberg unfortunately seems to deliver the worst performance of his career, with an exaggerated interpretation of Lex Luthor - something even surprising considering that the actor usually stands out for his restrained style and few gestures. Even the score by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL seems uninspired.… Expand

This is hardly surprising, given Christopher Nolan is involved, given Christopher Nolan is an executive producer. Think along the lines of the tone and atmosphere of the Dark Knight films, with a touch of Man of Steel from the Superman side of things.

There are some pretty impressive special effects used - visually I thought it was quite good. It certainly paints a picture of troubled times as far as western society is concerned. I thought it was quite tense and certainly entertaining.

Performance wise, the main performance that stood out to me was that of Jesse Eisenberg, who plays Lex Luthor. I thought he did well playing the somewhat quirky, awkward teen who certainly has an amount of powers and resource to hand. However, I did also feel that Ben Affleck gave a decent performance as Batman too.

I can't comment too much on how the film works in terms of it being at all based on the original characters, as written in the original comic strips/books, novels etc. but I certainly found it a tense and engrossing watch and so I'd recommend it on that basis. Perhaps one or two plot elements were a little predictable but overall its still a decent enough watch, although it isn't a film I'd specifically recommend to pre-teens, due to the violence/dark themes etc.… Expand

The final twenty minutes of the movie, Superman's funeral, is really over. Superman's death was completely wrong in this movie. Superman was killed in comics after many years while he had the right characterization and it made everyone cry. But Snyder killed him in his second film with an awful characterization and no one cried for him. Then you say we don't understand Zack Snyder? Have you ever read a comic book ??? If you had read, you would have known how he insulted the background of the character. He just stole their names and made a story from himself for them. Superman in comics is actually a sign of hope.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman v Superman is directed by Zack Snyder and written by David S Goyer. This movie has 28% on rotten tomatoes and is still overrated. And no, the extended edition isn't any better. How could a movie about the two most awesome superheroes out there with one of the best casts of 2016 become a boring, edgy, self-important, nonsensical, annoying, uneven, soulless product? Three things WB, Zack Snyder, and David S Goyer. Now, these people can be trusted when working with smart people. Ex, Watchmen (dir.Zack Snyder based on a novel by Alan Moore), The Dark Knight (co-written.David S Goyer and Chris Nolan, and Heat (prod.WB dir. Michael Mann). But you put only those three in a room and you come up with crap. With a cast with Ben Affleck, Jena Malone, Amy Adams, Henry Cavil, and Laurence Fishburne, you can't do any wrong...right? Wrong, the "film" follows a contrived and flat out dumb plot in which a final showdown between Batman and Superman is plotted and nonsensically executed by Lex Luther. Let's start out with the performances Batman is played incredibly by Ben Affleck (which is possibly the only good thing about this movie along with the visuals). Whereas Henry Cavil (who has been shown to be a good actor) sports the range of a spoon. This is the fault of David S Goyer and Zack Snyder to wrote and directed Superman to be as bland and boring as possible. And Lex f*cking Luther, my god, this is obviously just a poor attempt to cash in on his genius portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in the excellent film The Social Network. Instead of feeling unhinged and meticulous, he just comes off as an idiot who couldn't talk his way out of a paper bag. And all the other great actors cast in this piece of crap are also acted dull and boring. The most emotion Amy Adams shows is when she yells that Martha is Superman's mother's name, which leads to one of the dumbest scenes ever put to film. What if one of their mothers wasn't named Martha, what if Batman already stabbed his brains out. It isn't smart, just dumb, and convenient. And then Batman and Superman become buddies, despite the fact that Batman was trying to kill his ass 15 minutes ago (which was how long the title fight was, the movie's name shouldn't be Batman v Superman, it should be Batman and Superman talk in rooms, separately, I love "talking" movies, just sell movies for what they are.) This leads to one of Batman's character issues. He kills, and this isn't about being "comic-accurate, it's about being interesting. Speaking of character issues, Superman, the hero who stands for light and hope, just mopes all-day until doomsday kills him. Again, this isn't about being "comic-accurate," characters who sit around feeling sorry for themselves until they get murdered are not interesting. This leads to the big final act, which turns the movie from semi-mediocre to full-on idiotic. Batman and Supes fight against a poorly rendered Doomsday. Oh and Wonder Woman is there. So then sci-fi bullsh*t, superman dies (not really), people cry, Batman pays for the funeral, Batman doesn't kill (finally), sequel set up crap. This movie was f*cked in the *ss from the beginning, it had to set up the dceu, Wonder Woman solo movie, the justice league (with a f*cking email scene), batman solo movie, superman sequel, the flashpoint paradox, and etc. It's easy to see how this movie ended up sucking.… Expand

Affleck is an amazing Batman ( if they make a flash paradox film I choose Affleck for Thomas Wayne ) and Cavill is in my opinion the perfect Superman. Definitely worth the watch, especially of your a DC fan.… Expand

Potential...Just plain, potential. Some clever moments, but the rest is just a rough draft.

An average film boosted by the production and direction, but failed by the poor under developed storyline and some poor acting...in particular the guy that plays Lex Luthor is very poor and has no credibility.

The wonder woman character seems almost irrelevant to the storyline, and superman dying is just ridiculous.… Expand

DC's two trump cards go head to head in this muddled and uneven movie, that puts too much emphasis on CGI rather than it's characters.

I specifically watched the ultimate edition. Overall if you don’t take it too seriously, it’s pretty entertaining

Loved the film but loved the Ultimate Edition more.… Expand

De las peores peliculas de DC que he visto.
Muy pretenciosa y demasiado aburrida.

The theatrical Cut is messy. You have to watch the Ultimate Cut of Batman v Superman. Only in this version the plot makes sense. The UC is absolutely enjoyable: Great acting, badass Batman, gritty tone. A fantastic score. A movie for adults.The theatrical Cut is messy. You have to watch the Ultimate Cut of Batman v Superman. Only in this version the plot makes sense. The UC is absolutely enjoyable: Great acting, badass Batman, gritty tone. A fantastic score. A movie for adults. Overall it's a masterpiece. Just Jesse Eisenbergs interpretation of Lex Luthor is over the top.
When my review was written I have watched it for the third time: First time in cinema was a big disapointment. Now I know: This movie is a grower. I'll watch the Ultimate Cut several Times.
In context with all the other movies in the DCEU it's the absolute core of what makes that cinematic universe great. Hopefully the Sender Cut of Justice League fullfills the storyline.… Expand

A dark, cynical, and operatic deconstruction of the two most popular superheroes of all time. This is something different, which I like, but understand that many do not.

This is something different, which I like, but understand that many do not. This is no longer the Batman we once knew and not jet the Superman we love. The political thriller like script by Chriss Terrio is captivating, the tension is felt throughout the movie, amplified by the incredible score by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL. Thanks to costume designer Michael Wilkinson, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have never looked better, and the latter has the best superhero introduction of all time. Not the easiest movie to digest, but I recommend for everyone to check it out and make up his/her mind about it. Snyder most certainly dares to be different and on the long run history will reward him for it.… Expand
