There were lots of individual moments to enjoy throughout, but the way they are stitched together is diabolical - the writing and pacing is way off the mark. Add a misconceived interpretation of Lex Luthor, a Superman who is depressing to watch and disappointing action scenes and your left with a film that skirts the worst of the genre. What keeps it afloat is the performance of Ben Affleck, the promising introduction of Wonder Woman and Snyder's ability to depict visual grandeur.
Affleck is the perfect representation of Batman/Bruce Wayne and I can't imagine anyone else topping it now. A solo Batman flick with him has great potential - if Leto's Joker is up to scratch we could be looking at a great conflict one day.… Expand

All around, this movie was fun to watch. I didn't like the big alien villain at the end that much but in general, I was very happy with my experience seeing this movie.

Difficult task trying to serve many masters and basically cram 4 movies and many different legendary comic book stories into one film. I think the mission is achieved here. I think people need to accept this new DC universe which still borrows from the past but with a new twist on the characters. You get the feeling that the best is yet to come with these characters and that superman, batman and company will continue to evolve.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm surprised and confused at first I expected this film but when he started to leave the reviews on Metacritic my expectation fell from 100 to 20 (on a scale from 0 to 100) I leave to the very happy, I really loved Ben Affleck as Batman, I liked the action scenes (especially the fight between Batman and Superman), I Liked Gal Gadot as Wonderwoman, Henry Cavill was acceptable Superman but was lower than in man of steel perhaps because he had to split the screen with Ben Affleck, I thought Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred pretty weird since Alfred seemed full of intellect film making it appear that the Batman is a dumb that moves by emotion and anger and Lex Luthor is more for Joker than Luthor, I did not like anything Apocalipe looked more like a Ninja Turtle, I did not like the excess Amy Adams (Lois Lane) even if it is ok in acting out, what I most hated of all the cast was Zack Snyder as he does not put rhythm in the film, puts useless things like the dreams of Batman, has time that superman is fighting with the apocalypse and nothing for all to rescue Lois Lane and kisses, want to mix the greatest works hq in m film of 2 hours and 30 minutes, that yes was the biggest problem of the film of course you have a few other things also as excess CGI, visual pollution also, many script holes put what most upset me in the film was a failure call Zack Snyder as director, and last and least the soundtrack of the film made by Hanz Zimmer (the Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, Man of Steel) and Junkie XL (Mad Max Fury Road) that deliver expected of them with a trail Sensational sound.

Do you like Batman? Superman? the DC characters if so you will like the film is clear that not of to compare with the epic trilogy of Christian Nolan however is rather a little higher than the Man of Steel, worth the entry of money for a fan to someone who is not fan or who does not like good heroes movie maybe you will not like so much.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman V Superman isn't necessarily the greatest superhero movie of all time but yet it isn't that atrocious as most people say. The movie played in a very fast pacing, jumping from one event to the other. And the fight of Batman and Superman was probably the biggest disappointment of the movie, i mean for three years WB has been promoting this movie and making amazing trailers, and when the movie finally came out it ended up to be a 8 minute fight with a very quick conclusion, as a comic fan i expected an all put 15-20 minute brawl between the two.

Personally i think the movie had more upsides than downsides, Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot portrayed Wonder Woman and Batman in a perfect way showing all aspects of both characters. The Introducing scene was played very well as you get to see the Superman- Zod fight in Bruce Waynes point of view. The build up in the film that lead to the reveal of the Justice league members was a good approach that WB took in order to give fans an idea about Ezra Millers flash and Ray Fishers Cyborg looked like. The final battle scene with Doomsday was very nice for me as a comic fan, as it contained the three main members of the league and showing off each of their abilities.

Overall Batman V Superman was an okay movie, don't get me wrong i'm not saying it's an amazing film that was flawless, i'm just saying that it wasn't as atrocious as most people believe it to be. Hopefully Warner Bros and DC can learn from the Mistakes of this Film and not have them in the upcoming Justice League film.… Expand

Zack snider knows how to direct CG environments very well and makes it all come together. The music is also very good. Batman does what we expect batman to do, Ben Affleck is the best batman so far. Alfred and Perry White in this movie are also really good characters with personality and actually look like they need to be in this movie. Okay now the bad stuff. This movie has so many characters the movie can do so good without them. superman has nothing to do but people in this whole movie his character is boring, Clark Kent is also boring. Lois Lane is boring, Wonder woman this movie can do without. the senator is pointless since her motivation makes no difference. And Lex Luthor is in the wrong movie. Jesse Eisenburg is clearly doing a horrible job as Lex Luthor AND HIS ACTING IS VERY CRINGY. This movie is clearly trying to set up all other of the DCCU movies to come. For example the useless dream scene where batman goes into some sort of Earth 2 and it had the flying demons from Darksied's planet is completely out of place in this movie. 3 out of 10… Expand

The gods are not glorified, but they are questioned and punished. The staging, the artistic direction immerses you in a reality that seems to be inside a comic book vignette. At the level of actors, I think it's a good cast that works well as a team.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman V. Superman was truly truly a masterpiece of a movie. It is sad to say many "critics" would not understand such an amazing movie. It has many motifs and symbolism. It's a movie where you really have to think and piece some the plot together. It got me thinking a lot and I've seen it multiple times. Superman's selfless act of sacrificing himself to Doomsday snaps Batman out of the rage he has been in at the end of the movie. This Batman we are given is a worn down Batman who is old and now tired of criminals. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I think Zack Snyder was amazing in incorporating religious imagery into the movie as well. When we see Superman hovering over a family whose house has been flooded; We see that the family is reaching out to him not only as a hero but they see him as a God figure. Also towards the end of the movie when Superman lays dead; Wonder Woman, Batman, and Lois Lane lay over him. They scene looks specifically shot like the "Descent From The Cross" painting of Jesus being taken away from the cross. The scores beautifully composed by Hans Zimmer really creates an atmosphere that emotionally strikes you in the heart. They blend very well together with the scenes and are also very memorable! Overall BvS was a movie of pure awesome masterpiece! I know for sure in the future more people will learn to respect the movie and see it for what it truly is. It will go down as one of the best DCEU movies.… Expand

I disagree with the majority of people complaining about the dark tone because it is very much needed. DC is not Marvel, nor should they strive to be. This movie had a particular tone, and it scratched an itch that very few Marvel movies ever could (exception being Infinity War, which was much more daring, somber, and dramatic than all others including Endgame). These movies are needed, which is why I'm so excited about the Snyder cut. We can follow up on this story. The movie has so many quotes and cool moments, but the game changer is the wonderful soundtrack craftd by Junkie XL and Hans Zimmer. As a musician, music makes or breaks the movie for me. Batman's theme in this one is haunting, and the theme of the movie, while a bit dramatic, is epic enough to serve the film in a satisfying way. I'm rambling. Basically I love this movie.

My only real gripe is I wish there was more of a conflict between Batman and Superman since it is the name of the film. I also found Lois lane borderline unbearable taking up way too much screen time with not enough justification and her being a 1 dimensional damsel in distress doesn’t help that.

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

A Man of Steel sequel with a new Director would have been better than this mess. This movie starts by acknowledging the backlash over the destruction at the end of Man of Steel and then proceeds to do the exact same thing. Mindless destruction of entire buildings and cities filled with people but this time they've recorded 2-3 lines from extras saying that the area is abandoned.

Jesse Eisenberg is a good actor, but a poor fit for Lex Luthor. Ben Affleck was not convincing as Batman, there was 0 transformation of the character. A lot of time is spent on Batman's childhood which everyone already knows.

There are major logical fallacies here, at one point they depict Gotham and Metropolis as being directly across from each other. I'm talking like a 5 minute drive to get to one from the other. A lot of ideas are pulled straight from Nolan and done to poor effect here, they also ripped a few ideas from Harry Potter Goblet of Fire when Jesse creates Doomsday with absolutely no explanation.

The Superman and Batman fight was not very intense, and it was very short. The movie is not kid friendly, buildings collapse filled with people, someone tries to set a woman on fire, a trip to Africa where everyone gets shot, there's a bomber. Never seen Batman and Superman kill so many people, honestly never seen Batman and Superman ever intentionally kill anyone, that's why they're such icons. Batman doesn't disable cars on his way to Luthor he literally explodes them filled with people.

Wonder Woman was really solid but the costume was lame and a lot of her scenes were poorly written. The actress Gal Gadot did a nice job. The crowd loved her.

Terrible Movie. The director is incompetent. I don't feel an emotional connection to these films, am often left in disbelief at the amount of destruction they overlook. The tone of the films is uneven and jarring, the plot does not make sense.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've also posted this review on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.

I absolutely loved this movie. Dark, complex, well written, well acted, with incredible special effects. It looked at the real world repercussions of Superman's existence, and balanced that and the conflict between the two title characters perfectly while hinting at the introduction of future DC cinematic universe films.

Marvel do the fun, lighthearted superhero film very well, but I'm glad DC have chosen to go in a much darker direction. There's real pain and real danger on show here, and throughout the final fight between the Trinity and the main villain the viewer is acutely aware that the heroes are outmatched, and may not prevail. The MCU rarely demonstrates that level of tension, except maybe for the excellent The Winter Soldier, and (although TV rather than cinema) the almost as good Daredevil Season 1.

Cavill plays a perfect Superman. The film perfectly portrays his god in mortal form role in the beginning, although his characterisation of Clark Kent, and in particular his reasons for focusing on the Bat vigilante of Gotham in the midst of Congressional hearings into Superman's activities, is not well fleshed out.

Affleck's Batman, is, quite simply, a beast. A terrifying, hulking bat-weapon of a man who hands out savage beatings to all comers on a democratic basis. This is combined very well with his portrayal of Bruce Wayne. Older, wiser, and more cynical than the Batman we've seen in the past. More willing to believe the worst of people, and far more willing to go to extremes in the pursuit of his goals. The sheer brutality of his combat techniques may raise a few eyebrows, especially among fans who are used to a Batman who only has "one rule", but it is believable in the context of this older, darker anti-hero.

Given the ending I cannot wait for the next wave of DC films. Their cinematic universe may be newer than Marvel's, but it looks very promising indeed.… Expand

Zack Snyder who's previous movies built his reputation including 300, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch and thus landed him the Man of Steel gig. Not sure that was enough pedigree to land him the entire DC franchise whether it be as Director orZack Snyder who's previous movies built his reputation including 300, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch and thus landed him the Man of Steel gig. Not sure that was enough pedigree to land him the entire DC franchise whether it be as Director or Producer, yet someone had faith in him. Unlike 300 which was a breakthrough hit, his movies were highly criticized as missing their mark with the audience. I am one to give a man a chance, and felt you could not go wrong with such a great comic book heroes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. As I sat watching this movie, I was shocked how antsy I was feeling as boredom was slowly seeping in. Constant screen changes between the characters was annoying and never left me feeling like I was getting a chance to just let the movie pull me in. Anticipation to see something, anything happen.was causing me to get annoyed more and more as the movie went on.

This movie was simply boring until the point in which we finally have some time of battle going on. Everything up to that point, especially Lex Luthor and his hatred never manifests itself in the story telling. We are left to have empathy towards all the feelings everyone has because we know the history. In Man of Steel, Superman destroyed Metropolis as well as Gotham, so Batman has a grudge with an Alien who acts like a self-appointed savior of Earth. Bruce Wayne/Batman is rich, so he can spend any amount of money to build his tech, weapons and protective bat suit. Superman doesn't need anything but his powers because of the Earth's gravity makes him this way. Bruce Wayne is smart and this is what has always separated him in DC comic book lore from the other heroes. He is much like Iron Man is to Marvel, except he doesn't have something engineered to keep Mr. Wayne alive. So this movie is built around the premise that Bruce needs to take down Superman. Yet, he is way too intelligent to let his emotions play him this way, but we, the audience go along this journey and never really feel Bruce's angst towards Superman no matter how hard the movie wants us to feel it. Whether you blame the director or the actors, someone has to take the blame. Take a side, Team Superman or Team Batman. Not so easy when you know that both heroes are exactly that, heroes. You can't tell us to root against the two like they are presidential candidates or sports teams. Hard to make the audience believe that when you fill the movie with so much fluff that the time we get are two combatants together it is because one of the superheroes is blackmailed to do so.

I really believe this movie could have worked if we had some Marvel humor to lighten things up from time to time instead of the ultra serious tone this movie has. There is nothing funny about this movie and that makes it one big joke. Marvel knows their audience. They let us stay to the credits role away just to get a teaser to the next movie. How many people will stay to the end of the credits for this one? Don't. There is nothing, but movie credentials and unless you need to know the key grips and the music scores, then you are wasting your time. Much as I felt in watching a boring movie that should have been the greatest superhero movie of all time. As a kid I felt that DC was the stronger brand than Marvel, but that was all shattered last night. Snyder leaves me with no confidence for his upcoming DC movies like Justice League 1 & 2. If the people at Warner Bros. wants to save their franchise, take the keys out of Snyder's hands and let someone else take the helm. Calling JJ Abrams would be the place to start.… 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.

The flaws far outweigh the qualities it has, and it feels like several stories are literally fighting to be told in the long run time. I was bored or turned off by bad performances for a large majority. Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor is easily one of the worst comic book movie villains we've ever had, to a point where I can't imagine a possible future Superman movie being at all watchable if he had any kind of important role to play in it. Henry Cavill is surprisingly wooden as Superman here (and has no distinction with his Clark Kent) and also still lacks any chemistry with Amy Adams, whose role as Lois Lane seems to be retained from Man of Steel as a forced love interest and sometimes plot device. Doomsday was terrible and even the climactic action loses steam when it becomes CGI pixels crashing into each other that you can hardly make out since it's not filmed well. Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman was passable (her acting hardly was, but the action worked) in her role, though with how small it is, I'd find it difficult to really screw up.

I think Zack Snyder is often, if not always ambitious with his movies. He puts a lot on the plate, and introduces ideas and concepts that are interesting to think about, but he never actually makes you think. He never really fully explores things in his films for the most part, and it ends up creating this pretentious, false depth the taps on ideas but hardly goes further. Ben Affleck's Batman isn't the best, but he's good, interesting, and certainly put in effort. Jeremy Irons' Alfred was great and I'd even say he could've been around more. Overall, watching this felt more like a chore than anything.… Expand

Everyone who says that "haters" dislike the movie because it's not "funny" or "candy colored" are being disingenuous to the extreme. This movie is one of the worst written movies I've ever seen. The "ultimate edition" is the cut that I saw, and Superman doesn't appear as Superman until an hour into the film. Batman does not appear as Batman, save a one second scene in shadow, for at least an hour into the film. Superman has almost NO LINES in the entire film. Batman has very FEW lines in the entire film. So what is a Batman v. Superman film about, if it's not about Batman or Superman? Well, Lois Lane does a lot of investigating, and the entire plot is communicated through her. The film has almost no exposition, so the entire plot is revealed thorough scenes of people looking a things grimly. About 30% of this film is people staring into space, grimly, as the camera rolls. Another 30 percent of the film is just scene of people in distress. Energy crews carting people off to the hospital. People laying in rubble. that kind of thing.

People in rubble. People staring grimly. Lois Lane silently piecing things together. that's your film, ladies and gentlemen. It's really astonishing.… Expand

He just throws in a lot from comics he liked that don't fit together that well. Then adds strange dream sequences instead of all the flashbacks Man of Steel had.
On top of it he added more darkness and now has Batman kill after complaints of Superman killing in Man of Steel. So Snyder alone is why reviews are so bad and why Justice League will probably get even worse reviews.
Jesse Eisenberg is casting against type that definitely didn't work. He seems to be channeling goofy Batman villains of Schumacher movies over playing Lex.
Ben Affleck as I expected wasn't the problem. Bad pacing and an uneven plot was the problem. The movie tried to do too much at once. Be based on Dark Knight Returns, Death of Superman and while even feel like Zack Snyder was making Watchmen 2. Since Batman and Superman not going by their no kill codes makes them feel like the flawed heroes of Watchmen.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are points that I like to categorize in my pros and cons section for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
PROS:
+ Batman and Superman kicking each other's asses
+ Ben Affleck's Batman, Henry Cavill's Superman, and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman
+ The action intensity is so high that MoS can't keep up with
+ Wonder Woman
+ Hans Zimmer's and Junkie XL's iconic score fires up the action scenes flawlessy
+ Astonishing visual effects
+ Irons and Adams at their best when supporting their heroes throughout the whole film
+ The trio fight against the 'big one'
+ Those iconic cameos if you know what I mean
CONS
- The introduction of the story felted weird
- The pacing of this movie felt rushed
- Doomsday kinda lacks
- Confusing subplots and dilemma
- Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor is very unpleasant to watch
- Weak backstory and other elements that are trying to hard to make this movie feel like a Michael Bay film
- Certain scenes feel rushed compared to Snyder's Watchmen, 300, and MoS
- The unexpected revival at the end yay...
- Zack Snyder's directing is wack

VERDICT: Since I can't rate 7.5 out of 10 but I have to scale it on 8 because after watching this movie I grinned a little when it comes to the action sequences and the soundtrack intensity. However, the story feels so rushed and somewhat confusing that it feels like the season 2 of True Detective and yet still satisfies a little but not entirely. And the only wish that I ever want to make the next installment for Justice League Part One better than BvS is that we want the iconic director George Miller to direct that film instead of Zack Snyder trying to ruin the film again.. I'm sorry Snyder your visual effects from your past films is astonishing but at the same time your direction on your movies is horrible and it almost equals Michael Bay's directing.… Expand

Zack Snyder reaches his ambitious goal, thanks to his new hero, performed by Ben Affleck, perfectly in part and added value of the film (he's really superb here). Thanks to the actor of Berckley, Bruce Wayne captures an unusual maturity, intended as desire introspective too, and a charm with sensual veining, presage of a change which, I hope, the screenplay will outline more clearly in the work ahead.
My vote is 7.5.

There are some unnecessary scenes , and some things are left unanswered(Like superman's death, which was beyond upsetting and sad). Jesse Eisenburg is tolerable, but far from great. The film also has a ton of destruction, and that the Climax came from Micheal Bay's wet dream but whatever. Doomsday was unnecessary, and it could have just been Lex that brings the heroes together.

But to get to the point of this films problem, it is basically just an overlong film withBatman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is a mess of a movie to be honest, but it isn’t without a few good sequences are aspects that make it watchable. But to get to the point of this films problem, it is basically just an overlong film with little plot and no coherence to allow itself to be an extended advertisement as to what comes next.
We get a bunch of action sequences that are just badly edited and not really fun to watch. The fight with Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman fighting doomsday isn’t fun as you hardly understand who is attacking it, what damage they’re doing and due to the fact they get thrown around so much it becomes nauseating and frustrating to watch.
Despite those awful fight sequences, the redeemer of the movie is Batfleck as he plays Bruce Wayne with charm and instability. His take on the Dark Knight is so brutal that it feels fresh even after having Christian Bale do a good job a few years back. His fight sequences are well choreographed and well shot, with the desert sequence showing an awesome spinning shot around Batman taking endless soldiers, and then the warehouse scene in which Batman brutally stabs, shoots and punches people into the ground. One sequences that was still fairly enjoyable was the Batmobile sequence, but the Batmobile itself irritated me. It bounced around way too much that made it look like it was a darker take on a Herbie car due to how it flung around and bounced about. It looked like it belonged in an animated feature. Despite this, Batman was awesome in the film and I’m definitely excited to see a standalone Batman film now.
Returning to the negatives, the film has such a drawn out plot that could’ve been condensed into 30 minutes before getting to the fight sequences, It was as if Snyder wanted to do what he did to Watchmen but with no plot. Also, even though Batman V Super man is the title, they literally only fight once in the film and it lasts about 5 minutes maximum and is quite ‘meh’. Straight after that they team up and bros all around.
Also I don’t see the hype about Wonder Woman. She seemed pretty cool but with how badly the fight between Doomsday was I didn’t really get the ‘awe’ some other people got. Luckily Gal Gadot played her fine so I don’t have any problems per say with her but Lex Luthor was so miscast. Eisenberg did the best he could with his ability in this film but did not come across convincing at all. Starting every sentence with a high pitched screech doesn’t make you menacing, it makes you unbelievably annoying.
Another thing that annoyed me was the Superman fake out death… Twice! This was just awful writing here, we know Superman isn’t going to die so why pretend he gets blown up by a nuke and then pretend he’s dead at the end of the film (which by the way the ending pissed me off too). Like fair enough put one fake out death for maybe a younger audience who aren’t as familiar with Superman or the really gullible idiots who buy that kind of stuff but doing it twice? That’s just pathetic writing to add in a few more minutes of ‘emotion’.
All these things annoy me but only one gets deep under my skin. The film is just an advertisement.
This is due to Bruce Wayne obtaining LexCorp information and starts going through it. He stumbles across Wonder Womans file and then – cue the epic music – shots of the picture and then a slow zoom on Wayne’s shocked expression. Even the way all the people are lined up in that photo looks like their posing for a promotional poster. Then we move onto every other file on memory stick that Luthor somehow possesses. It shows Cyborg (in an experiment with a random cube with no explanation as to what it is), Flash (no real problems with this clip just this segment makes me not enjoy it) and Aquaman (now I love Jason Momoa after Khal Drogo but the way he slowly comes towards the camera and looks at it looks like he is posing for a promotional). Now this did not give me any excitement, it actually made me sigh. If we are going to get a sneak-peak into the future DC films I’d rather they be little easter eggs, not a whole section that’s a montage of each character with music that makes everyone realise what’s happening. It was so in my face and pissed me right off.
There is then at the end of the film Bruce Wayne roughly says [to Wonder Woman] “we must find the rest of them (Justice League) so they can fight with us” to which Wonder Woman replies fight what and Bruce says “something, I’ve got a feeling”.

Overall the film is messy, cluttered and too much of an advertisement for me to really enjoy. Batman is great in the film though and additionaly I must say people can’t complain about this film not having jokes like marvel films. It’s not a Marvel film and DC are known for being darker.
But still to summarise, Batman V Superman is a film made for hype but with little substance and hardly any polish to it.… Expand

Each character has their own voice, from the mastermind Lex to the farmboy-with-a-bruised-heart, Superman, to Lois with her ambition tempered by experience. The script has depth enough to be plumbed over several viewings; the visuals are finely crafted and not the 'let's nuke your eyeballs' approach other superhero films have taken.The characters' motives unfold with an identifiable pattern; and this pattern is 'symphonic'. An excellent film and a good sign of DC movies to come. In fact, Snyder seems to have set this film experience up in counterpoint to Marvel fare - and that is great for the genre, because diversity is important.… Expand

The question I ask you is? Did you feel that Superman represented the best of humanity? Did you feel that Superman was humanity's hope? Did you feel his importance to humanity and earth? 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. They wanted to roll in major money like the other comic family but somehow didn't care how bad their first step was going to be. The franchise is already crumbling and they haven't even started.… Expand

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.

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

Okay, I understand from the title that it was going to be about Batman fighting Superman at some point, and there would be a form of catharsis. However, the script does not make any sense, what motivates any character is beyond my reach. As for Ben Afleck, he is totally outside of his environment of predilection, as such, he cannot do anything but outplay his character. What a waste. For the guy playing Superman, we have seen the previous instalments and they were poor, so no surprise here. Also, for the producers: a movie is NOT the place to test instagram filters! No, no, no! IF this is the only way to give some depth to your production, then you are SO wrong. The film industry is really sinking nowadays, even Adam Sandler's movies look great in comparison.… Expand

I felt like this movie had a lot of potential in the works with its promising casting and the overall success of Man of Steel(2013). I will say that the performance from the actors was over the top. Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luther was so perfect that it felt comparable to heath ledgers performance in The Dark Knight(2008). Ben affleck played one of the best batman ever to be portrayed in cinema, Affleck showed a aging Bruce
Wayne past his prime, with a more serious and darker personality to the character, a man who doesn't care what he rest of the world thinks. Th minus of these actors astonishing performances was Gal Gadot who played the role of Diana Prince/ Wonder Woman, I felt like her entire character was so under develop that i felt no reason to like the character let alone cheer for her, now that might not of been Gadots fault since she only got to show her talent for a little bit of the screen time, but when she performed it seemed she was entirely out of it and I felt like the writers lost potential to an amazing character.

The plot to BVS was all over the place in my opinion, because I felt that the beginning of the film started out smooth, Batman was searching for Superman and Superman was searching for the Batman. Batman perused Superman because the events that took place in Man of Steel(2013), and the rest of the world debated if he was a savor or a menace. I felt like these events were the highlight in the film until they introduced Doomsday pretty much at random, and the entire fight scene seemed awkward with Batman sitting on the bench while Superman and Wonder Woman took on the beast until Superman takes the Krypton spear and somehow fly to the beast, at this point Batman weakens doomsday with a Kyrtonite gas bomb, and Superman impales Doomsday and Doomsday paling the weaken Superman and killing him for about five minutes and a easily predicted, superman was not dead, and the rest of the world no longer hates superman but they love him even though they wanted him dead in the beginning of the film. Roll credits.

In conclusion this movie did have some highlights,but not enough to cover up the rest of the movies failures. Amazing soundtrack and special effects but, the plot was too far fetched and pointless as it was boring until the last 20 minutes of the film where we get to finally see the Bat take on the God. then Doomsday shows up and his character is completely wasted in a few minute and the writers should have saved this vicious villain for another movie.I still think this movies worth watching once if you're a Dc fan, but wait till you can find it in the five dollar box at Wal Mart or rent it at red box or better yet watch The Dark Knight returns part 2 to get a true Batman vs Superman fight.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Très très mauvais. Comment ruiner un comic excellent (qui ne portait pas le nom ridicule de ce film) en 2h30 d'agonie visuelle et auditive.
Un échec à tous les niveaux :
- le rythme : c'est lent et très long. On s'ennuie au début, moins au milieu et à nouveau avant la fin.
- la réalisation : catastrophique. Les scènes s'enchaînent mal, sont filmées sans aucune originalité. On voit tout venir dix ans à l'avance. Il faut à tout prix faire la promo des films suivants donc on coupe complètement le film pour montrer 2 teasers de Flash et Aquaman sans aucun talent. Il faut à tout prix créer des situations stupides et inextricables (on pensera fort à Loïs Lane et la lance en kryptonite).
- le scénario : c'est très mauvais, très convenu.
- les musiques : Thème de Wonderwoman La ligue de justice catastrophique. Thème de Lex Luthor nul.
- la fidélité aux personnages. Lex Luthor est un clone raté du Joker et d'Enigma.
- les dialogues sont très moyens. Deux répliques pas mal qui étaient dans la BA.
- le jeu des acteurs est inexistant. Sans doute plus due à la réalisation qui préfère une suite de jolies images et en oublie qu'un film c'est aussi des dialogues.
Pourvu que Zack Snyder ne soit pas confirmé pour la suite. Le problème est clairement à son niveau… Expand

This film is not even remotely in the same league of excellence as The Dark Knight. It truly is the most disappointing superhero film I have ever seen. The long run time of films is generally not a problem for me if I am engaged in what is happening on the screen. The most interesting part of my 2-1/2 hour experience was listening to a group of older teenage boys sitting in front of me rate Wonder Woman's overall body and specific parts, on a scale of 1 to 10.

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

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