Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) by Greyking — 25 Mar 2016

This movie is not for families, not for children, not even for true fans of comic books. While being a cinematic beauty, the story and motivations of the characters were straight trash. I can't even count the ways.

But let me expound a few non spoilers. Batman is a murderer. Superman is a depressed mopey guy who needs a therapist and possibly Xanax. Wonder Woman is a pretty woman with an Israeli accent. Lex Luthor is the worst nonsensical version of Lex Luthor ever depicted on screen.

The movie is long, dark, and joyless. Unlike the Heroes of the Marvel Universe who are having fun even when everything is going haywire the Heroes of the DC cinematic universe act like someone is forcing them to save the world.

If you are really looking for a great Superman/Batman team up go dig up the animated film Superman & Batman: World's Finest.
