Amongst the worst movies I've seen

Rating: 2/10 (5 April 2016)

Warning: this review contains some spoilers.
I enjoy movies dominated by special effects, being a no-frills distraction. I enjoy super-hero movies more, because in addition to the special effects you've got a certain depth to the main character and/or the villain, that was built in a long series of comic books before the movie. Really, the screenplay writers have it easy. And in many cases you've got atmosphere. For example the Batman universe is dark and filled with criminals and lunatics, Batman the hero being cool because he's just a simple man that's helped by technology, fighting skills and his own craziness.
Batman v Superman ruins everything.
The special effects are boring. There's an interesting opening act showing what Superman's fight with general Zod might look like from the eyes of pedestrians and that was interesting, but it was over fast and from then on the action scenes felt very cartoonish. Oh, there's Batman and Superman fighting, in a deserted building, hitting each through walls. Oh great. Kryptonite is involved, as you can't have Superman without Kryptonite. How unpredictable. Then there's a monster that explodes with energy and of course, it happens to be on a deserted island with nothing interesting in sight and then they move to an abandoned dock. Yawn. I've seen zombie movies from the eighties more interesting than this.
Then there's the matter that the 2 universes of Batman v Superman don't mix. It might be fun to think about it, when your six years old maybe. And yes, they are completely ruining Batman's universe. But you know, I'm not conservative, I keep an open mind. I certainly wasn't expecting another Dark Night.
But I cannot forgive that the evil character, Lex Luthor, lacks any kind of motivation for his evil deeds, at the start of the movie he's presented as a rational evil genius that has money, technology and commands an army of mercenaries and then at the end he's presented as a pathetic, possibly schizophrenic mad man. Except he's not a believable evil genius and he's not a believable lunatic.
Of course, no character from this movie has depth and nobody is believable. Even worse, because Batman and Superman weren't enough, the Avengers needs competition, so now we've got Wonder Woman coming out of nowhere with an indestructible shield and with a fire whip that she was probably keeping in her purse, appearing just in the nick of time to fight the monster. You only need to look at the picture with all 3 of them to realize just how bad this movie is.
But wait, there's more. Superman dies in the end, but nobody believes it. I mean, just 10 minutes before that he's being hit by an atomic bomb and survives. Somebody in the audience actually yelled "let him stay in the sun a little". And then Batman tells Wonder Woman that she should gather other super-humans (there's more of them) to prepare for the coming fight, because, get this, Batman has a hunch. Then dust starts rising from Superman's coffin, leaving hope that he's not dead. Of course he's not, this character is so freaking indestructible that he's boring and Batman's hunches don't help in making me want a part two.
