Not what I was hoping for.

Rating: 5/10 (10 May 2016)

Batman is a fantastic superhero. Superman (in my opinion) isn't as good but his films are still watchable (except Superman: The quest for peace). When I heard that a Batman V Superman film was underway I was thrilled; I thought it'd be the best film ever to be released. However, when I watched it something felt wrong. The plot was all over the place and I've seen better acting in an episode of Hollyoaks. Maybe I'm just used to Christian Bale portraying the caped crusader because I thought Ben Affleck wasn't the type of actor to play Batman. Henry Caville is a decent Superman but he wasn't at his best in this film. It was sort of a joke to me. I found The Dark Knight trilogy much more enjoyable than this. Jesse Eissenberg is a great Lex Luthor however. He was a true psycho, similar to the undeniably great performance by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
