Over the top and lack of suspense

Rating: 4/10 (3 March 2018)

As big summer blockbusters come, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was one of the more anticipated films in recent memory. Having being years for its wait, the anticipation leading up to its releas was relatively heavy. Overall the film is a dissappoinytment on many levels, as by now fans and critics have pointed out. It feels like too much of a long film. Apart from featuring approximately the numerous screen incarnation of the murder of Wayne's parents, it does mercifully away with most of Batman's origin story, as it was done better in Batman Begins.
Batman v Superman feels at most times overall boring and lacking of suspense of any thrills. The characters don't seem as much into it, as should have been. Superman as a character lacks any energy as Henry Cavil seems to be on audio pilot. Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne is decent, though his portrayal and voice as Batman is what ruins it. Christian Bale did a much better portray as those Christopher Nolan Batman films were overall more constructed with better writing, directing and overall structure. Jesse Eisenberg was miscast as Lex Luthor as his tone is far too over the top compared to the other characters. We understand the character is a crazy villain, but it doesn't work well here.
As for success, this film as a success as expected, though general speaking it is a bad/disappointed as it has been claimed. The visuals and some fight scenes were decent but just did not have much of an impact.
