Superheroes Have Become Worse Than Villains

Rating: 5/10 (5 November 2016)

The new sequel of Man Of Steel presents us with Batman v Superman:Dawn Of Justice. Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck stars as Superman and Batman respectively together with an ensemble cast that includes Amy Adams,Jesse Eisenberg,Diane Lane,Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons,Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot as the new Wonder Woman.With the screenplay,we are treated to a story that has Lex Luthor manipulate Batman into clashing with Superman with whom he is obsessed of defeating.I was expecting an improvement in this sequel of Man Of Steel but too bad it came out more disappointing compared to the first film.
With Zack Synder once again at helm as director,the viewers are treated with what else? A visual spectacle and nothing more. Action fans will definitely be treated with 3D action sequences and a lot of violent scenes.Special effects are great and the appearance of Wonder Woman will definitely entice viewers in watching her own solo film.But that's all to it in this film.
Too bad that just like the first film,Batman vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice is once again style over substance. The screenplay is poorly written and the story is just too dark that Superman and Batman fans are treated to superheroes whose psychology are close to that of killers,psychopaths and people with personality disorder.That's right.Superman is still struggling into how much responsibility of doing good on planet Earth just like in the first film.He is still mixed up of either living a normal life with Lois Lane or being too altruistic in helping people that are in trouble.Meanwhile,Batman came out as a darker character which is far worse than the villains that he is up against like Joker,Riddler and the likes. Aren't these superheroes good and moral people who do good?Anyway,that's how they turn out here.The change on the character of Batman was definitely bizarre and outlandish that even many people would probably be surprised especially the long-time fans of the hero.And what about the logic in the story?How could Batman beat Superman?How absurd!!!!!The producers have to do it because Ben Affleck a bigger movie star compared than Henry Cavill. I hope not!!!LOL What's worse,the story is overlong and somewhat slow in its development.
Here is hoping that Zack Synder should start changing his approach on doing these superhero films and start doing things that would have the mainstream audience appreciate it.Or else,more fans would catch up with him especially if continues to turn superheroes into dark characters that are far worse than villains.
