Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (25 March 2016)

Batman vs Superman has been anticipated for decades. We've always wanted to see Batman and Superman duke it out in a film. And now, we've finally got to see it. But is it any good?
I can see many DC fans be very disappointed in this film, including myself, but I can also see many fans loving it. Film is subjective and everyone has their own opinion. As of writing this review, the film has 30% Critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, yet it has 74% Audience score, so while it it's been getting relatively negative reviews from critics, the public seems to liking the film. I'm not going to be a DC fan boy when writing this review. I will try to look at it as critically as I can.
First off, this movie takes itself VERY seriously, which may bug some people, considering the film is called Batman vs Superman, which albeit sounds quite ridiculous. However, being a massive fan of the Nolan films, it didn't bother me all that much. The cinematography was decent. It was much the same as most superhero films, the same sort of angles etc, but I still thought he did a good job. Hans Zimmers score wasn't great, but it was better than his score for The Amazing Spider Man 2. Jesse Eisenberg was good at playing a super villain, but he just didn't do it for me as Lex Luthor. Ben Affleck was a lot better than I had hoped as Batman, as was Cavill as Superman. But we've seen his portrayal of Superman before this, so we already knew that he plays a good Superman. It's hard to write this review without spoilers, but I'm worried i'll let out a crucial plot point and will ruin the film for you AND get my account blacklisted. Which I don't want. But anyway, the film is filled with special effects. I'm not even joking, it uses so much flashing imagery and computer effects that it gave me a bit of a headache. Another complain I have is the films run-time. I'm fine with long movies, but when they actually FEEL long, and you notice that the film is long, it takes you out of the film and you start to check your watch to see what the time is.
So, to finish up, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is probably worth seeing if its a rainy day and you've got nothing else to do. I don't think you need to see it URGENTLY, but I still recommend it. And hey, all of this is just my opinion, and if you don't agree with me, that's fine! It's just my stupid opinion.
