Incoherent....

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2016)

BvS with its superficially seriousness, made more apparent the ludicrous nature of Superhero comics in general. Don't get me wrong. I like (liked) comics like the next person, but when you read or watch Superman you must feel a tongue sentiment. I didn't felt that. Instead I felt cheated from this movie.
The editing is incoherent and involves dream sequences, unneeded use of slow motion and flashbacks. The direction is blunt and the pace boring. I started to taking note for this review 1h:30' into the movie and still it hasn't build-up. The basic premise "Batman sees Superman as a threat" is OK but the script and the dialogs look hasty written.
Despite the a quarter of a billion dollars budget, the movie still uses the TV-based "air fan in the hair and face trick" to Lois, to skip the cost of a CGI Superman fly. To tell you the truth I wonder where that money went since the movie doesn't excel in the visuals department. Just rewatched Terminator 3, a misunderstood movie if you ask me, and the big budget was evident in props, stages and cgi. BvS looks like they heavily misused the money.
The cast, same as MoS, doesn't seem appropriate in this movie too. About Affleck I would agree he was a poor choice but overall didn't bother as other Batmen in the past. Gal Gadot looks nice in the WW suit though.
Another problem is with the Music. Seems unsuitable. And I'm not talking about Superman's (??) theme which is a joke (the first appearance of S. in the movie uses Zimmer's theme like it is suppose to be a well known litemotif and fails miserably), but also the "functional" music in almost every scene. It also bothered me the rip-off Mozart's requiem-like theme that used in some supposedly dramatic scenes. Sounded really out of place too. *sigh* For me John William's iconic Superman theme(s) will be always my favorite by far.
Overall: "You got me? Who's got you?" Lois Lane said in Donner's Superman in the original scene which this movie tried to copy or remind. The thing is that we never forgot that line and Amy Adams's "You came back" is as forgettable as it should be. S I and S II despite the many arbitrary elements and b-class effects were touching and noble and fun. I don't like Zack Scnyder's vision at all. He did an excellent job in "300" but after that... BvS falls in that category. Superheroes are like the goose with the golden eggs nowadays, so this movie will be successful too. Financially. Artistically no. I have already forgot about it. I will always remember S I and II, though.
