Zack Snyder, Really?

Rating: 4/10 (24 March 2016)

Two Of The BIGGEST Superheroes Batman & Superman - come together in a magnum-opus, that is anything but entertaining. My only question to Zack Snyder, how in the world did you get this wrong? Synder's previous Superman adventure was good fun, but he ruins this once-in-a-lifetime cinematic moment, by delivering a film that fails on almost every level. Lacking soul & rush, This Biggie is one disappointment!
'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Synopsis: Fearing the actions of Superman are left unchecked, Batman takes on the man of steel, while the world wrestles with what kind of a hero it really needs. With Batman and Superman fighting each other, a new threat, Doomsday, is created by Lex Luthor. It's up to Superman and Batman to set aside their differences along with Wonder Woman to stop Lex Luthor and Doomsday from destroying Metropolis.
The biggest problem with 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' is its weak Screenplay. Chris Terrio & David S. Goyer's Writing just doesn't excite or entice. I mean, come on! You've got the caped crusader & the man of steel battling it out & you're in 2016, graphics aren't new anymore nor can action-sequences hold beyond a point. You have to pen an engaging story. In those never-ending 160-minutes, this crowded superhero flick, barely offers anything remarkable. While the first-hour tries to develop an enmity between its heroes, while introduction some important supporting characters, the second-hour sees them fighting it out in a listless 5-minute battle, with an overblown culmination. I didn't bother for Clark Kent, but Bruce Wayne seemed a bit more darker. The Writing is definitely the biggest flaw here!
And now coming to Synder. Were you even a fan of the idea of the heroes colliding? Visually, Synder has nailed each & every frame. But, he fails to give any soul to the narrative. The film goes on for long, but there is nothing spectacular even for once on display in terms of drama. This is Synder's least appealing hour.
Cinematography, Editing & Graphics are amazing, no doubt. 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' is technically marvelous. Music by Hans Zimmer & Junkie XL, is absolutely brilliant.
Now Coming To The Performances! Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne / Batman, has done quite well. Of course we shouldn't compare him to any of the previous Batman's, as every actor brings a newer edge & looking at Affleck's interpretation alone, he's convincing as the haunted Bruce Wayne & absolutely Tough as the legendary superhero. Henry Cavill as Clark Kent / Superman, is blank. Gal Gadot as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman, is hot & a delight in her brief bit. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, is an eyesore. Seriously, Mr.Eisenberg? Of the supporting cast, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Holly Hunter as Finch, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White & Diane Lane as Martha Kent, lend adequate support.
On the whole, 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' is a huge disappointment.
