Breaking News: "Superman and Batman defeated by Captain Ennui!"

Rating: 5/10 (4 April 2016)

On behalf of good storytelling and suspense, we, everyone who expected the long awaited confrontation of two of the most iconic superheroes ever, to be a thrilling masterpiece, declare this poorly scripted advertisement for a potentially bigger sequel to come, an epic fail!
Rarely I have been so desperately looking for some relevance and emotional depth like it was the case while watching this muddled mess of a movie and it's so sad because it had everything a good action movie needs and yet the end result is boring for the most part.
Zack Snyder made one of my favorite movies of all times which is "Watchmen", however, he also did "Sucker Punch" which despite it's visual abundance and sex-appeal bored me to hell, and "Batman v. Superman" is somewhere between those two.
I still hold high regards for Zack Snyder as director for his ability to create powerful imagery that sticks to your mind, but he seems not to care much for his characters and plot development, it all looks so cool and the action is bombastic, but in the end it all feels so shallow and redundant.
Ben Affleck proved all the haters whiny naggers, he was superb as Batman! The other cast was fine too, although I consider Eisenberg's interpretation of Lex Luthor as too nerdy and psychotic which doesn't live up to the charismatic image of Luthor I got from the cartoons and comics. Amy Adams is again miscast for Lois Lane and Gal Gadot is a hot Wonder Woman but feels completely misplaced in this movie lacking any sort of background story, another example of how they introduce story arcs to leave them open for further installments to continue them, with the consequences that "Batman v. Superman" feels unfinished, incomplete, a sole introduction to a "cinematic Universe" yet to enter the screens, in other words, it's an overlong advertisement for the franchise rather than being a movie, a story on it's own.
I'm really disappointed.
