Batman v Superman: Do it Justice

Rating: 5/10 (29 March 2016)

In an attempted to replicate the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Warner Brothers gave us the Man of Steel 3 years ago to layout the foundation of their multi-verse. It did a decent job of reintroducing Superman in the modern world although not on the same level as "Batman Begins" as many of us were expecting. The ending remains controversial today nonetheless I was genuinely looking forward to the sequel.
When they officially announced the title Batman v Superman, l was speechless and worried at the same time. To witness the two most iconic heroes battling one another is almost the biggest thing that could happen in the comic book cinematic history besides Marvel's Avengers, however when a franchise is moving towards something vs something, you know something is not right. Take a look at Jason vs Freddy or King Kong vs Godzilla, OK not exactly a good example but you get the point. Let's dissect the film:
Spoilers ahead
The film started off with the death of Thomas & Martha Wayne again. I am sure even for casual moviegoer, they are all well aware of Batman's origin by now, how many times do you think we need to see that on screen again? Studios never learn do they? Look what happened to the Spiderman reboot We were then given a whole ten minutes of the ending of Man of Steel in Bruce Wayne/Batman's angle. In short, Superman accidentally killed those who worked for Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor who tricks Batman (by the way the greatest detective/ hero in the DC universe) into hating Superman by framing him in Africa and suicide bombing at the congressional hearing which Superman should have heard the bomb..
Then Superman is fighting Batman because Luthor captured his mom, setting him up against Batman who by this time still doesn't realize he's being manipulated. The situation gets worse, Superman actually told Batman that he's fighting because his mom has been captured. Batman came so close in killing him until he finds out their mothers share the same first name and they suddenly become best friend. There is no weight and resolution to their fight.
Don't even get me started with the creation of Doomsday which was spoiled for us in the 2nd trailer, it is so obviously that it is somehow linked to General Zod but how did Luthor gain access and control to the genesis chamber and come to know about the Krytonite? It's just lying there in India Ocean for 2 years for random divers to pick it upCountless of script convenience and plot holes..
This film is supposed to weigh on the consequence of Man of steel and yet the ending is pretty much the same as previous film with half of the city being leveled again. I might not be a die-hard comic book fans but this film failed to highlight what Batman & Superman stand for and what made them great. On top of these, it spent too much time re-establishing Batman in this universe I honestly think they should go for a Batman Solo film before this and stop having so many dream sequences (the cameos are pushing it)!
Hey suddenly Iron Man 2 isn't that bad. What do you guys think? I will be watching Justice League regardless, I mean why not?
PS: Batman is the only reason I am giving this film a 5
