A more complex film, but equally entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2020)

Written March 25, 2016. I saw Batman v Superman last night. A more complex film, but equally entertaining and as violent as one might expect for a battle of comic book proportions. Oddly, this edit didn't get an R rating. Mild sex scenes, explicit adult themes, and bloodless horror. Sometimes these movies explore more of the grey area of right/wrong as opposed to the harsh polar differences of good/evil. Adult fans are OK with that. But if you take your kids, I would suggest a discussion before and after, because the film has some really raw moments that show heroes doing questionable things, some cowardly things, dramatically ultra-violent things. This is a fantastic product for folks that grew-up loving superheroes. An eye-catching distraction for our times. I wish they would just make them R rated and really have at it thematically.
