Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) by Incredibolk — 28 Aug 2016

A team-up we've all been waiting for, left me disappointed. As Bruce Wayne, Afleck didn't quite measure up. His shortcomings were exacerbated by putting him in scenes with Jeremy Irons as Alfred. Irons is clearly the better actor and makes Ben look worse.

As Batman he did a fine job. Overall he ranks third for the role, behind Bale and Keaton. There could have been more story around building his plan to fight Superman. They really forced the main villian (spoiler) Doomsday was kind of forced into being quickly was well.

Lex Luthor came across as a little childish and Michael Rosenbaum's portrayal was significantly better. Wonder Woman come out of this film as the best hero. I was in doubt at the original casting, but Gal proved me wrong.

While I will, no doubt, wait for Afleck's Batman stand-alone to go to DVD, I will make an effort to see Wonder Woman in the theater.
