Dull Vs Dull

Rating: 3/10 (26 March 2016)

So DC has begun to bring all the heroes together just as marvel have done and kick off the Justice League with Batman Vs Superman. I'm a fan of Snyder and I thought after watching The Watchmen several times that Snyder could bring that dark, edgy kind of thing to the batman universe. However, this is ALL he really brings.
First of all there is no real character development (which some may prefer especially with Wayne as we've seen it a thousand times) and we have no real back-story on anyone apart from Superman which we've already seen in Man of Steel. The first half of the film is super dull (excuse the pun) and the film doesn't really get interesting until around the last half hour when the fight begins. Then onwards it goes from a poor film to an okay-ish, still slightly disappointing film.
The good surprise or surprises in this film were Jesse Eisenberg as Lex and Gal Gadot as Wonderwomen. Eisenberg was deranged and quite creepy and every time he was on screen I became more interested in his behaviour and motivations. He kept the film interesting. As with Gadot, she stole the limelight every time we saw her. BUT, that isn't enough to save this film which we've waited years for in anticipation. DC have rushed it with trying to form the justice league, lacking depth and story. Did a little joke here and there ever hurt anybody? They're failing to copy what MARVEL have managed to do so well over time. Maybe it's too soon after the Nolan series for it to work.
Fanboys will tell you this is the best superhero film they've seen because they refuse to believe that this was a dull affair.
