Lifeless and flat

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2020)

The most characters are lifeless and flat (especially Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Henry Cavill). It doesn't help that this overlong film a lot of the times is an astounding bore. Most of movie's problems revolve around the characterization of Lex, whom J. Eisenberg plays as a twitching weirdo with none of the depth and all of the tics. It's a profoundly irritating feat of overacting - he's less cartoon-ish villain and more villainous cartoon. Film also features African terrorists, Russian mafia, Justice Leaguers The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg, an alien autopsy, congressional Superman hearings, Kryptonite weaponry, dream sequences with flying insect-men and gothic gargoyles, spaceships, the Batmobile and Batwing, nuclear bombs, and a CGI monster that feels like it was borrowed from the "Lord of the Rings" movies. If you might be wondering about the story that involves all these elements - there isn't one. "Batman v Superman" is a collection of striking scenes and imagery that has apparently been filmed without the benefit of a coherent screenplay to tie them together. Simply put, "Batman V Superman" doesn't give fans what they were promised. The end gave me a feeling of anti-climax.
Rating: 6- just because of big production
