Updated and dumbed down: 'I've killed monsters from other worlds before.'

Rating: 5/10 (21 July 2016)

Someday we will run out of interest in the revisions of Marvel Comics, but for now yet another mind-blowing CGI monstrosity comes out – fine actors attempting to make this thin line of story work. Entertaining? Yes, it did well in the box office, but at over three hours in length and the introduction of yet another enormous hulky beast destroying everything in sight it just gets dreary.
The plot, though minimal is as follows: Society is fearing there should be no Superman because of his alien like actions and Batman is the one who agrees and will also take Superman down. While Superman fears that Batman's actions are wreckless and fearing others, owner of Lex Corp, Lex Luthor is plotting something that will destroy mankind. Will one of the heroes fall or will Lex Luthor take over Metropolis? Ben Affleck is Bruce Wayne/Batman (his supporting helper Alfred is Jeremy Irons), Henry Cavill is Clark Kent/Superman and Amy Adams is his Lois Lane while Diane Lane is his mother. Jesse Eisenberg is the evil Lex Luther, Gal Gadot is Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (yes, they did that), while Lawrence Fishburne and Holly Hunter play significant roles. Of course Krpytonite plays a major role but now as huge as the comically ugly beastie that likes to destroy everything – including Superman.
We may ask 'why don't they just leave the comic book heroes alone?' But obviously there is a paying audience for this. And after all, it is a chance to seem some popular actors play!
