Save yourself the agony and heartache

Rating: 2/10 (24 March 2016)

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a movie I wanted to love. Being a huge enthusiast of films and comics, the thought of seeing Batman and Superman together in one film seemed too good to be true. Unfortunately, the previews leading up to this film had made me doubtful. To be on the safe side, I brought myself to lower my expectations to the extent that even if the movie was lacking in some areas, I could still find enjoyment out of it. Every part of me wanted to like this movie, but BvS managed to take everything with it, sparing no survivors. This film was ruled by money, and its pure purpose was profit. All the dignity of making a respectable film had been stripped away before it began. Zero plot development, rushed scenes, terrible dialogue, fight scenes that were so bloated with special effects you hardly knew what was happening, character's that were displayed in such poor fashion it was laughable( I'm talking to you Lex), the list goes on and on. Their attempt to create a DC universe in one film was a disaster of epic proportions. I ask that you save your money and avoid contributing to the garbage they tried to pass off as a movie. Somewhere out there, with grinning smiles on their faces, Marvel executives are sitting around a table clinging glasses together at their triumphant victory as top dog from now until the end of time. If this movie is any indication of future films in the DC Universe, be prepared for years of utter disappointment.
