Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - Review

Rating: 6/10 (4 December 2017)

This is a movie that fans like myself waited since... well, almost our entire lives, the idea of DC's greatest heroes showing up on the same movie seemed like an impossible dream back in the day, but thanks to the MCU, DC finally decided to give it a shot. Now, just like MoS, I have to say, this isn't a bad movie, specially not a 26% movie like RT thinks, this film has plenty of good and even great things, but it does have many flaws, first the good, the cinematography, Larry Fong is an excellent cinematographer and some of his best works are with Zack Snyder, and this is no exception, Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL once again did an amazing job with the score, Ben Affleck was amazing as Batman and most of his scenes were fantastic, specially his first introduction and the warehouse fight, once again the story here seems great, however, what holds it down... is the script, yeah, we start with the bad here, the script is by far the biggest problem with the movie, some dialogues don't make sense, even after I re-watched this film 4 times now, and character motivations and actions are either unclear or... kinda silly, I really feel that DC should have hired someone else to write the script, David S. Goyer has not done a good movie in years now, also the villains... oh boy, I didn't hated Jesse Eisenberg when he was announced and I was even willing to give him the benefit of the doubt... but man, his performance did not worked for me, also... this part, spoiler alert... I guess? Doomsday, he is my favorite Superman villain, he has been ever since I read Death of Superman, and he was just underwhelming to say the least... BvS is not bad like some people would make you believe, but I can't deny this was a wasted opportunity, this is Superman and Batman first time together on the big screen, a better script and better handling of the villains and this could have been something truly amazing.
