Messy, Pretentious and Miscast

Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2016)

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is a film with a messy and pretentious screenplay and absolutely miscast. The story is confused, with segments and ellipsis; actually it works only in the end. The reason for Batman and Superman fight each other is ridiculous. Lex Luthor is a genius but Jesse Eisenberg, who is totally miscast, transforms the great villain in a clone of The Joker with stupid lines and attitudes. The red-haired Amy Adams performing Lois Lane that is brunet and Laurence Fishburne performing Perry White that is Caucasian are jokes with the characters from the comics. Ben Affleck uses two facial expressions, one for Bruce Wayne and the other for Batman along the whole movie. Henry Cavill with his expressionless face is the worst Superman of the cinema history. Further, both heroes are non-charismatic (actually both are hateful). Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane and Gal Gadot save the cast. Indeed the plot is only pretext for the excessive use of CGI. My vote is six,
Title (Brazil): "Batman vs Superman: A Origem da Justiça" ("Batman vs Superman: Origin of Justice")
