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

I've never reviewed a film on this site before but felt that I needed to in response to the overwhelming negative reviews I read online. This is a great film. It's not an amazing film by any stretch of the imagination but it is nowhere near as bad as the critics are making out.

This is a great DC Universe film and the cast are, for the most part, excellent. The only character that didn't work was Lex but apart from that everyone was great. Sure the pacing stuttered in places, the dialogue was poor in others and the end section dragged (for me) but generally I was entertained and enjoyed the film.

Ben Affleck is the definitive screen Batman for me. His size, tone and approach were spot on.

I'm looking forward to the next one.
