Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) by Sweedishgerman — 15 Apr 2016

This is a film that has characters that hold to their world views, and they act consistently with them. It explores ideas and belief systems. Unfortunately nuances may be lost on an audience that is not accustomed to debate.

In theology, something as simple as an Iota can make a world of difference. People act, react, and sometimes redirect the entire course of their lives based on simple nuances. Man of Steel had wonderful references to Plato’s Republic.

This film also had instances requiring the audience to think from a foreign point of view. That is necessary for one to truly understand the significance of events. Some people may not like this film.

There are those who want things to be exactly like they were in the comics, and that is understandable. There are those who want things to be more light hearted, that is also very understandable. The movie is not perfect, and there are some who just may not like it.

I have a deep concern for those who cannot comprehend it though. The proletariat, who don’t even know how deeper thinking works, will miss out on some even deeper meanings that are in the film. This film caused me to laugh, cry, and think.

The acting was wonderful. I have very few complaints. It is the best film I have seen in years.
