Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
Dir: Zack Snyder
Cast: Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Jesse
Eisenberg, Gal Gadot
Universe taking place immediately after the events in Man of Steel.
Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) arrives in Metropolis for unknown reasons, just
in time to witness the destruction of the city between Superman and his nemesis
Zod. Its citizens turn against Superman (Henry Cavill) and perceive him as
an alien threat to Earth.
Meanwhile we are introduced to Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), a wealthy
young man with Daddy issues. He becomes paranoid of Superman and takes
drastic actions to have Batman battle Superman.
I thought this movie was too dark and depressing. I was disappointed with
the pacing and tone of the movie. The killing of a certain character in the Superman
lore early on was pointless and unnecessary. I felt like this movie was tried too
hard to shoehorn characters for the plots sake. It's a muddled mess of a film that
tried to take itself serious.
Jesse's Lex character came across as too nerdy and unlikable. Wonder Woman's
inclusion became the better half of this movie.
Overall, it wasn't the worst comic book ever, just the worst of the past several
years. I wanted to like like this movie but couldn't.
Grade D (5/10)
