Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) by Tomtin — 26 Mar 2016

SPOILERS.

Where to start? The whole fight between Batman and Superman was less then 5 minutes and 90% of the fight was in the trailers already, the longggg build up with the pointless bullet plot was boring, it was just a mess. Affleck is one amazing Batman, have to give credit where its due, but Cavill is still a horribly wooden Superman, and surely I dont need to mention how painfully awful the new Luthor is, I actually turned my head away in the cinema to avoid the cringe he provides to the story. The setting up for other films was so lazily done and stupid, did Lex design there logos too in this universe lol? Speaking of stupid, Lois Lane gets saved like three times during the film, she is so irritating and pointless. The final act with Doomsday, the disgusting ugly troll was just filled with CGI explosions, nothing about it made sense, from how he became real to why they even used him in the first place, such a wasted opportunity if you know what he looks like and can do in the comics. He has a second form where he does nothing new and pebbles come from his back too, so theres that. Superman does 'die' and what a dreadful mistake to make, killing him off this early is beyond idiotic for obvious reasons, but we all know he isnt going to stay dead which means using the death of Superman for another film in the future is going to have no emotional impact whatsoever. Overall the film is a rushed mess, there was some nice cinematography and as I said before Batfleck is great but all this film did was waste my money, biggest disapointment in years.
