Dawn of Injustice

Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2016)

I'll begin with this; Man of Steel is by far, superior in almost every way. How some could even say: "This is what Man of Steel was supposed to be" is beyond me.
Batman vs Superman is 2 and half hours of what feels like half told stories. But that's what happens, when you're trying to squeeze years of story-line, in a short period of time, because the rest of it you wasted doing... Hell, DC/WB didn't even waste that time doing something... They literally spent all that time doing, NOTHING!
Henry Cavill in Man of Steel, was a bit of a flat character, however, in BvsS, he was inflated a little bit... Which is good, but on the other side of the coin, yes, we are going to compare Affleck to Bale. Though actually, I didn't have a problem with Affleck's rendition, ultimately, he was a bit 2 dimensional. He wasn't good or bad, here nor there... He was just, Batman.
Wonder Woman??? Why was she there exactly? Oh wait, maybe it's because Snyder needed to introduce 5 new characters, in some innovative way for all of them individually... and he succeeded in doing so for exactly, ZERO of them. Aqua, Cyborg and Flash's teasers/introductions ranged from awful to lackluster.
The fight sequences were heavily special-effects orientated, and the hand to hand combat scenes were slightly clumsy. I don't mind VFX at all, but in BvsS... Even the dark skies in the final fight felt so contrived and forged.
Doomsday was badass, but not a moment was utilized to explore him. So, he just turned into noise, CGI and more noise. And some say this is what Man of Steel was meant to be??? Do you remember General Zod? Michael Shannon played the hell out of that role. Then lines like Pete Ross calling Clark; "Dick splash" (funny), and Lois to Clark; "Welcome to The Planet" (witty). Then there's the scene of Jonathan Kent's death (intense)... I'm sorry, but that movie, was done Justice.
And didn't Lex say: "The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world"?! Well, Batman and Superman's face off... Boring. After all these years, waiting to see 2 of the most iconic heroes have a go at each other for the 1st time, made you wish it was the last. Sorry Lex/Jesse Eisenberg, even with your very impressive performance, like us, you were let down.
Lois Lane... Huh, she was necessary, but then somewhere in the movie, she became useless.
I feel like I could go on for a while trashing, what was otherwise an enjoyable movie... So let me end with this; Batman vs Superman was, fun but disappointing. Incomplete but... Nah, no "but's" there, it was incomplete.
P.S. Lawrence Fishburne, good job, and Hans Zimmer, you brought it.
