Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) by Sultan A — 21 Jul 2017

Snyder utilizes the superhero genre through exorbitantly meticulous methods of direction by injecting the very resonance which expresses the film's themes impeccably, which are inclusive of power, fear, & multiple perspectives through which the latter two are scrutinized.

The film deftly recoginzes the utter depth that numerous other superhero films lack - *ahem* all Marvel films in existence - that actually enables the film to deviate from the typical formula plied as nothing more than entertainment, whilst exploring powerful issues which viewers are immersed into with utmost care. The fear of Superman's power is strongly representative of the fear of takeover & the power of deviation. Wayne's childhood occurrence is explored with true resonance, explaining how he'd come into one with nature as the bats, whose presence he'd encountered, had allowed him to see the light, to find his way; however, another side of him is also still heavily afflicted by the event & it's outcomes. The short-lived, yet, overall, impeccably conducted battle between the two eponymous characters strongly explains Wayne's fear, and leads to sheer realization & comprehension by him. The utter significance & ever-lasting rejuvenation of hope is represented throughout the final scene, depicting the amount of depth the film has to offer.

The latter character is quintessentially portrayed by Ben Affleck, whose performance transcends initial assumptions to bring Wayne's psychology & troubles to light; however, conversely, Henry Cavill depicts how lifeless & emotionless he can portray the feared God. Wonder Woman is brilliantly portrayed by Gal Gadot, who also exceeds expectations. Their overall embodiment of the characters, throughout the visuals-infused action sequences, prove dexterous & impressive, the latter of which are directed in the most archetypal manner one can imagine by Zack Snyder, depicting explicitly how, as a REASONABLE friend of mine said, he is morphing the superhero genre into a totally unique & different one. Jesse Eisenberg proves himself quite talented through his impeccable acting as the film's villain, Lex Luthor. Of course, no one can beat Nolan at that, but Snyder is definitely endeavoring to do so, whose results are becoming more timely & promising. The entirety of the concoction is bolstered by Zimmer & XL's orgasmic score.

Along with Henry Cavill, some dialogue, sheerly pointless cameos, visuals & one extremely slight plot inconsistency can be deemed unsatisfactory or bothersome; however, the latter three are flaws that's undermined by the brutal force with which the film conducts all of it's other proceedings. The visuals during one of Wayne's dreams, as well as the attack on Wayne Enterprises, are somewhat unconvincing; however, the millions of other visuals-infused scenes depict how insignificant those two are.

The underestimated director plies the more incomprehensibly significant & meaningful aspects of filmmaking to create what is probably one of the most redolent superhero films in existence. The entirety of the film is molded by him to transcend the qualities provided by various other flicks of the genre, and also prove that a film of it's kind can be equally meaningful, as it is entertaining, once again.
