Batman v Superman is a good movie, nothing more and nothing less

Rating: 6/10 (29 March 2016)

Batman v Superman is a good movie. Nothing more and nothing less. It's not awful and it's not great. It's somewhere in the middle. Why I say it's just simply good. This is because of the movie lacking in so many fronts. Let's take the first one, Ben Affleck as Batman. While his portrayal delivered, the script didn't. This is an established Batman fighting crime for over 20 years. Why is it necessary to go over his origin story again? The script fails in dialogue and story. These areas were weak in justifying why these two characters fight in the first place. The story just wasn't there for the build up to this fight, actual fight and the reason for them to cease fighting and joint forces. The reasons just didn't make sense or just wasn't epic enough. The actual fight was kind of a disappointment. To me the fight was one sided. This was a man of steel sequel and the character of Batman just took over the story. The biggest disappointments were Lois Lane in terms of story and Lex Luthur who was a catastrophic disaster both in story and portrayal. I always wanted to see corporate Lex Luthur in the big screen. This young and overly erratic version was not appealing at all. It wasn't a character that you would want to see in future installments. This movie ends up being just like man of steel, a good movie but not a great one mainly because of the special effects and overall look of the movie which were the best thing about this movie.
