Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) by Davidcon12 — 22 Apr 2016

When it boils down to it Batman V Superman is not a good movie for those who truly love these characters. Superman is once again presented as messiah-like piece of cardboard, even though Cavill's performance is good he just cannot sell an uninteresting superman.

Batman is another character that the writers just seemed to have missed. What was a once a moral superhero with a strict no kill, no guns code is now a morally grey kill happy madman. Ben Affleck does well with what he has been given but again the character is just not right.

Lex Luthor is another character who is completely wrong. Eisenberg's portrayal is more in line with the Joker than it is with Lex Luthor. All in all the characters have just missed the point of what made them so great.

The story is also a case of too many cooks spoil the broth. Too many ideas here clash with each other and therefore make the film a chore to get through. Overall the acting is good and visually the film looks great with many great set pieces and uses of special effects but the story is just too uninteresting and the characters are far too unlikable for this movie to be called anything other than mediocre.
