This might be brilliant for the fans

Rating: 4/10 (7 April 2016)

I admit it, I'm not very fund of all these superhero-movies they make these days. There are some exceptions though: films like The Dark Night (2008), Spiderman and Tim Burtons Batman I very much enjoyed. This one I didn't.
For starters I think one should be skeptical to titles with "vs" in it. To me it sounds somewhat cheap or amateurish. This shouldn't really matter, but it's after all the movie title. Come up with something a little more original.
In my opinion the story isn't very much intriguing. How many times haven't we seen the young Bruce Wayne lose his parents in the back alley behind the movie theatre? Or his never ending fall down the hole in the ground facing a million bats on the bottom. Again, the originality. Not to mention Batman and Superman's sudden realization that they need to work together to defeat the evil. Sound awfully familiar.
It seems to me that this film is just a show of from the wizards of visual effects. They have very much focused on the technical aspect of movie-making - with some brilliant slow motion scenes, but halfway through it kind of got a little ridiculous. A non stop bag of huge explosions and intense gunfire was a bit over the top for me, to say the least. Thank god I don't suffer from epilepsy. I would have been in trouble.
Taking all this into consideration this may just be perfect for the fans - and good for them. But for an "outsider" like my self it was a highly tiresome affair.
4/10
