Hell Of A Disappointment

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2016)

BATMAN VS SUPERMAN - DAWN OF JUSTICE
So Last time i was so much nervous about any movie was the time when DARK KNIGHT RISES was gonna come out , that whether or not it will fulfill the expectations created by THE DARK KNIGHT. And it totally fulfilled my expectations. But m sorry to say this but DAWN OF JUSTICE IS a hell of a disappointment .
I find ZACK SNYDER visually brilliant , and the good thing is that he always back up his visual brilliance with great storyline..And that is the exact point where DAWN OF JUSTICE fails. DAWN OF JUSTICE is not a complete movie. Its like a setup film for upcoming JUSTICE LEAGUE films. And WARNER BROS was so busy in promoting the upcoming movies that it faltered in making this movie a good one.
When ZACK SNYDER made MAN OF STEEL , many people didn't liked it , because of its dark tone and too much seriousness in it. But i find it great . It was too close to NOLAN'S DARK KNIGhT series , also because NOLAN was the co writer of MAN OF STEEL with David S GOYAR . It both DARK KNIGHT series and MAN OF STEEL , we get to know about the inner life of BATMAN and SUPERMAN . In both the movies they were not the superheroes for the sack of defeating villain (like usually movies in MARVEL universe does). There was intelligence in those movies.. We get to see different prospective to see superheroes. Guess what DAWN OF JUSTICE is not that kind of movie. DAWN OF JUSTICE want to swallow so much things that it doesn't have time for character development , or psychological fighting in brain. Sometimes it feels like people were making decisions without much of thinking , because there is no time.. That shows how much difference just one person can make.. Just because CHRISTOPHER NOLAN was not there in the writing team , the whole plot seems to be fall apart.. NOLAN use to control the whole movie when he is on board , but it seems like DAWN OF JUSTICE was in too much control of the production house.Yes David S GOYAR came back but without NOLAN , and didn't find GOYAR a great writer , but yes he has a great knowledge about Comic Books and can write a pretty good story with a visionary writer (like he did in case of DARK KNIGHT SERIES and MAN OF STEEL) . There are a lot of uncleared things in the movie. Its like even with a long 2hrs and 33mins of running time , they didn't get enough clear everything. In an early scene Superman ended on and unknown place while saving Louis Len and some how it creates and international dispute situation that SUPERMAN is dangerous to human kind. I mean it was not exactly shown that what exactly happened that made humans so angry. You have to understand it by yourself that there must have been some destruction of mankind , but why nit show it. And its just the start , there will be a long list of scenes (i will disclose some of then) where movie will not connect the joints and you have to joint it by your own imagination. At the most waited fight sequence between BATMAN and SUPERMAN , you may feel cheated a little beat. There is not much of reason why SUPERMAN will fight BATMAN . He could have stop the fight by just talking to BATMAN which he did but after the fight. It may be said that its a movie and we have to give some liberty so that action sequence could take place , but i don't agree with that. Instead of giving those liberties i would have liked if more strong reason has been provided for the fight.. Then there is some strong reason from BATMAN'S side to fight SUPERMAN , but i also felt cheated on that section too.. I mean BATMAN is a great intellectual person , he never take decisions in hurry. He is a great detective too. I find it too silly that instead of digging into the matter itself or even talking to SUPERMAN by himself , he just decided to kill SUPERMAN . He has been trapped very easily by Lex Luther to be satisfied that SUPERMAN is bad.
Now come to Lex Luther , yes played by Jesse Eisenberg , which at first looked quite decent , cracking jokes , not much different from MARK ZUCKERBERG from SOCIAL NETWORK. But he felt under aged and less experienced. It has been shown that Lex Luther has already been found all the future members of Justice League (yes even before SUPERMAN and BATMAN themselves) but why exactly he is doing so was not mentioned. About WONDER WOMAN she was good with her small role , and her action sequence were good , and also she looked quite gorgeous. But there was nothing that she could have done to made this better. Its like she was just introduced. She was not mainly the part if the plot , rather also setting roots for future installments. Yes BATMAN is the best part of this movie , but i cant compare Ben AFFLEKS , to Christian BALE. This BATMAN is total in hurry , too much carried away with his thought that SUPERMAN is a threat. He never fully analyzed the whole situation and like i said before - didn't do enough digging. But yes thats a writing flaw not acting. I hope WARNER BROS will give more independence to the team , and hire better writers. 6.8/10. By ANuP APu KuMaR..
