Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) by Tremault — 14 Aug 2016

Extended cut can't save that film. batman v superman is a disaster.

The entire premise is flawed and they really can't save it in any way. it should never have been made. for such an implausible concept as 'superman actually fights batman properly' , they really need the entire movie to set it up, but instead they decided to use the entire movie to setup justice league and so the initial premise is left dangling. it's so weak it just totally collapses. when it comes to that fight, I just find myself wondering why the hell superman gives up so easily in asking for batmans help until right at the end when batman is about to kill him. it's like he doesn't even care about his mom at all. he just suddenly turns into a psychopath.

Oh and somehow Lois has got super hearing now because she heard the name Martha before she was in earshot? batman is repeating "why did you say that name" for quite a while before Lois comes in "it's his mom" .. yeah... Lois, how in the HECK did you know to say that?!?!

I don't blame Zak Snyder. I blame the bigwig producers and the writers.
