Bat-Crazy Man Vs Super-Serious Man: Yawn of Justice is super disappointing. Still, I did enjoyed this superhero movie. I just wish, it could had been better.

Rating: 6/10 (30 March 2016)

From director Zack Snyder comes Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the first big-screen meeting between DC's (Detective Comics) greatest superheroes. For the most part, the movie was entertaining, due to the intense action scenes & the quality of the visuals effects. However, I just wish the movie was a little more light-hearted and fun, than over-serious and dark. It doesn't even seem like a kid's movie with several of DC characters brooding, philosophical talking, and doing extreme violent acts in an over complicated plot about Meta-humans being left unchecked and turning out to be wolves in sheep's clothing. Like, really why would believe and blamed Superman for the massacre in Africa when he never used a gun? I get that, Detective Comics wants to continue to the adult-driven tone that director Christopher Nolan has done with the Dark Knight trilogy (2005-2012) and 2013's Men of Steel, but gees, this movie was a little bit off-putting with how messy, they treat Superman and the rebooting of Batman. Don't get me wrong, I like Ben Affleck's portrayal of Bruce Wayne/ Batman and his Frank Miller style of costume. After all, Affleck is by far, the best performance in the film, but I just didn't like all the screen time, it took to establish, his already known backstory. It took away, all of screen-time needed to establish Clark Kent/Superman's problems (Henry Cavill). For Superman, I really don't have a problem with Henry Cavill. He looks and acts the part. I just didn't like, how he became a secondary character in his own movie. After all, isn't this originally supposed to be, Superman's sequel? In my opinion, Batman should had been establish first in his own movie rather than pair up, out of the blue with Superman, without much establishment. Second off, the whole 'dream' story structure within the first 2 acts was really annoying with Batman. I hate, how it's cut to something, very vague and random like a hint to the comic book 'Crisis On Infinite Earths', until the main plot picks up, again. About Batman killing people, as much as I would love, that he had a moral code, I'm willing to accept this change, with a grain of salt. After all, Batman did kill people, throughout the comic book world, many times over, before. I just wish, the movie show a better reason, why Batman dislike Superman, rather than the fact, that Superman accidentally murder people, once in a while. It's very hypocritical, when you think about it, since Batman does that every night. I also hate, the fact, that the weak conflict got resolve, way too quickly. It's really odd, to consider them, being good friends after one night of battle with some very invasive music playing in the background. Another thing, about that night of battle is how they rushed and changed, much of the Doomsday and Superman storyline from the comics. This version of Doomsday's appearance toward the end of the film felt very offensive to fans of the 'Death of Superman" comic-books. I didn't like it, Doomsday should had been save for the oncoming Justice League movie, like the other random cameos of Justice League. Members like Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Barry Allen/The Flash (Ezra Miller) & Victor Stone/Cyborg (Ray Fisher) felt like a tease. One big character, that wasn't really needed for this movie is Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). She really comes out of nowhere, with no backstory at all and has little to do with the main plot. The actress does work as a strong female lead, however, her presence in this film was a little jarring. Since the meta-humans program, doesn't really come into play. One character, I didn't like, from the movie is actor, Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luther. He was horrible with his hammy joker-style humor. His reasons for hating Superman is also very inconsistent. I get that, they wanted him to be suffering from psychological disorder rather than just being greedy, evil, or driven by ego I still don't know, what his main goals were. How does he know about the character of Darkseid? Plus, his scenes with Senator Finch (Holly Hunter) were too-sexual awkward. Does he has feeling for her? Is she, his mother? We will never know. I just felt dirty, for watching it. It's also a sad attempt, by Warner Bros to change his character from Lex Luther Senior to Lex Luther Jr. as a lame way, to draw away the backlash of Eisenberg's casting in this film. Plus, to leave it, open for their originally choice, Tom Hanks to come in, and play the senior role. Another character, that bug me, is Lois Lane (Amy Adams). While Amy Adams brings her usual warmth, humanity, and mix of moxie and vulnerability to the Daily Planet's most intrepid reporter. I just hate, how much, the movie makes her, into a dumb damsel in distress burden for Superman. She really does way too any stupid stuff in the film like throwing away the spear. Overall: This movie never fully transcends into being an awesome viewing experience and yet is also too competently made to be anywhere near the disaster, its haters probably wanted. With that said, if you've already made up your mind about seeing this movie, then the actual film itself won't do much to change your mind one way or another. You're going to love it or hate it. For me, I found this superhero escapism movie to be very disappointing.
