Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) by Ph4Se5Hift — 18 May 2018

Batman v Superman is a revenge tragedy where where the titular heroes are pitted against each other by the eccentric billionaire villain Lex Luthor Junior. The film explores various themes most notably how the feeling of powerlessness can be a corrupting force. I'm sure you are familiar with the phrase "Power corrupts" however in this film we see how the feeling of powerlessness can blind one, lead one down a dark path and leave one open to manipulation.

As with all modern Zack Snyder films BvS is filled with symbolism as well as artistic and interesting visual storytelling. For the fans of the source material there are also tons of Easter eggs to be discovered throughout the film. There are fascinating details in every scene.

The film does not spoon-feed the audience. If you pay attention to the dialogue, audio, props, shot composition and symbolism of objects then you can come to appreciate the majestic achievement that this film is.
