Escape portal into the bizarre

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2020)

Since the early comic book days back in the sixties, there was a rivalry between Marvel and DC Comics: Marvel leaning towards a more serious theme, and DC trending towards the bizarre. There was a difference in taste, but the artwork and stories were no less masterful. The same is true in the comic book movie genre, and the Batman v. Superman movie is clearly underrated because of a difference in taste, and not in the talent of the cast or crew, nor the quality of production, nor in the performance. This film is a brilliant freak show that eerily parallels reality, which is why the critics hate it, and the audience loves it.
