A slow, unpredictable superhero movie.

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2016)

In this Warner Brothers' sequel of Man of Steel, Batman decides to take on Superman because he feels his actions (in the last film) left Metropolis in ruins and is a threat to the rest of the world, as Superman is powerful enough to obliterate everything. Meanwhile, the world is left deciding if Superman is really a friend or foe.
It's a movie at over two hours long, and the plot takes a long while to gain any steam. Much of the first hour and a half is just a lot of talking and scene flashbacks. The plot is dark and the acting is pretty mediocre, though, it is nice seeing some of the actors return like Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Diane Lane, and new ones like Ben Affleck, Jeremy Irons and Gal Gadot. Affleck made an OK Batman and Gal Gadot's performance as Wonder Woman wasn't bad. She makes a pretty neat superhero and I just wished she was utilized more. Iron's portrayal of Alfred was pretty good, I thought. In addition, the music score was pretty catchy and haunting, especially the theme for Wonder Woman.
There is only a hint of humor here, and there is plenty of crazy CGI action - Superman and Batman battling it out like crazy. The main villain, though, wasn't very remarkable in my opinion, as it looks like a cross between a monster from Pacific Rim and Godzilla.
Overall, it's a pretty slow movie, though with some unpredictable moments. It could have been a lot better, but it was a good effort.
Grade C-
