FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Steineded How sad is this?
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
e-09873 Highly recommend this movie, especially the ultimate edition. Very gripping storyline and great action scenes, definitely my favourite comic book movie to date
shalabodov-32997 Batman v Superman was anticipated by many and upon its release crushed all hopes of good DCEU movies. At least that's what the critics said. A billion bucks in the box office despite poor reviews is an achievement. I have to say, the theatrical release had its flaws, most of them due to the editing, incoherent storytelling at times and Jesse Eisenberg. I'm glad to say that Zack Snyder's Ultimate Edition is here to fix most of it. Snyder is infamous for his cuts. Every movie that he released a director's cut for improved the theatrical release by a mile. Watchmen is a prime example, if the theatrical version is a 9 from me - the director's cut is a 10. I honestly hate when the producers cut the movie so much that the film loses a lot of characterization and becomes extremely choppy. Thankfully, with Zack Snyder's Ultimate Cut, the lengthy runtime is very well justified. It fixes the pacing, stretches action sequences, and lets us understand more about Batman and Superman's rivalry. It's still very flawed, however. Lois Lane's character is pretty much irrelevant, even though they tried to give her some purpose to be in the film. Jesse Eisenberg's odd choice of mimicking Heath Ledger's Joker with that horrible squeaky voice and constant twitching made him extremely annoying and overwhelming to watch. The movie also seems to suffer from a lot of studio involvement because it tries fit so many different comic books into one. It should've just been Batman v Superman, but it also spent quite some time setting up Justice League and Wonder Woman, as well as going by the Death of Superman route. To me, the positives overcome the negatives in this flick and made it an enjoyable watch. Also, Ben Affleck was unfairly criticized for this role, while actually being the best part of the movie.
eaglesongs-58554 I didn't bother to watch "Batman V Superman," because I heard nothing good about it. But most of the criticism I heard was about Ben Affleck's acting. Tonight, I decided to watch "Justice League," and I really enjoyed it. And I thought Ben Affleck actually did a good job as an aging Bruce Wayne/Batman. So, afterward I decided I would give "Batman V Superman" a shot.It was bad... I mean, really bad... but not because of Ben Affleck. It was mostly due to the atrocious story line, poor writing, and mediocre direction. Again, I don't think Affleck did a bad job. The script was absolutely horrible. And apparently the director didn't care enough, or didn't have the power to say "this sucks, fix it!" I'm all for suspension of disbelief during a movie (hey, dudes can fly and have super powers)! But the whole premise of Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent hating each other was totally unbelievable! And then, all of the sudden, because Bruce hears his mother's name... they're best friends! :OAnd if you want to pinpoint the worst acting/casting, it's definitely Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor! Really? This squeaky little douche is Lex Luthor? Sorry, I like Jesse Eisenberg in other things, but this was a poor casting choice. Maybe he'll do better in the next one (which there obviously will be). Oh, and also to blame: the editor. Could've cut 20-30 minutes out and made it a slightly better movie.
evanshins This movie did not make sense for the second film to expand the DCEU. Instead of this being the second DCEU film, Warner Bros should have made a Man of Steel 2 or Batman movie. Additionally, the marketing for this was awful because one of the trailers revealed doomsday and Batman and Superman working together, which were supposed to be the surprises of the movie. Batman's motivations against Superman are clear in this, but Superman's motivations against Batman are nonexistent and don't make sense. Wonder Woman was great in this movie and had really good fight scenes. The worst part of this movie was Lex Luthor. Jesse Eisenberg is a great actor, but he is just not meant for the role of Luthor. His character is just annoying and does not come across at all as smart or intimidating. Ben affleck is great as Batman and is very intimidating. Superman barely has any dialogue in the movie, which really hurts his character development. Having doomsday appear was a terrible idea. He looked terrible and wasn't intimidating. A main problem with this movie was that they tried to cram way too much into it. This movie had to be a sequel to man of steel, introduce Batman and Wonder Woman, set up Justice League, and have the death of Superman.
