How to drop the ball

Rating: 5/10 (4 May 2016)

On paper Batman vs Superman is one of the biggest movies of all time. The two biggest names in comics going face to face and with Wonder Woman in tow. So how did it all go so wrong? Why is it universally panned by and yet (At present time) it's IMDb rating so contradictingly high? Truth be told BVS isn't a bad film in my view, it just isn't a good one either.
Where to begin? Jesse Eisenberg's performance was great but in no way did he appear to be playing Lex Luthor in anyway shape or form.
Gal Gadot exceeded my expectations and played her role well.
Affleck is shaping up to be a decent batman.
Henry Cavill is terrible.........seriously, he's proving once again that he's the mainstream Segal. Wooden, tired & undeserving of such roles. To add to that Amy Adams fails spectacularly as Lane.
Without spoilers the other "Big Bad" is poorly represented, if they aren't willing to do it correctly why bring these characters into the film? Why not just make a new one. Smallville did a better job! The story is solid, it's the execution that lets it down.
The movie has several completely baffling and unneeded sequences and it's pacing felt sporadic.
Further casting problems include Fishburne as Perry because of the ethnicity change (What is it with Superhero movies & their insistence on doing that) You're telling me if Black Panther took his mask off in Civil War & he was played by Brad Pitt people wouldn't rage? Next year Dev Patel as Superman & Justin Chong as Batman.......
Also Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Lauren Cohan thoroughly wasted in their 10 seconds no lines cameo appearances.
My biggest problem with the film is this, just how unremarkable the film was considering the subject matter. This needed to be a supernova of a film, whereas it turned into a lit fart.
