Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) by Yabs — 03 Apr 2016

I went into Batman vs Superman not expecting much. I was not entirely impressed with Man of Steel because of the fast action, difficult to see CGI. I came out of the movie impressed and wanting to go do some D.C. Universe research... Yes, I much enjoyed the movie.

That said I'll start with the cons: I did not appreciate the fighting sequences between a certain (superman villain) and superman towards the end. I also felt it was out of character for a seasoned batman (played by Affleck) to have been manipulated to have suspicion or hate for superman. Also, I felt that Eisenberg / Lex-L was a miscast.

Pros: Easily the best batman fighting sequences depicted in any movie. Better Batman fighting than in the Nolan films. The sound effects were thrilling to say the least. I also really appreciated the foreshadowing dream / vision that batman has and the way by which Batman / Wayne learns of other hero / vigilantes.
