Some good moments but shares Man of Steel's pacing problems

Rating: 6/10 (25 March 2016)

This movie had some very neat visuals, a few of them ripped right from the pages of some of Batman's most memorable comics, and the dynamic between Superman and Lois was great to watch. However, I kept waiting for the story to start. For all its explosions, this movie had me checking my watch.
For a movie that is explicitly about Superman and Batman fighting, it skimps on foundation for why they would fight. The source material has plenty.
While this is an improvement over Man of Steel (no weird birth scenes) I found myself comparing it to Superman Returns, which, for all its flaws, really felt like a Superman movie. The question of what gives Superman the right to interfere in human affairs, which is a major issue in Batman vs Superman, is there answered very simply--because people keep asking him to.
Although Wonder Woman held her own, I would have liked to have seen more of her character and less sexy posing in skimpy costumes.
If you have more than two dream sequences, you need a rewrite.
