Epic terrible. An excuse to have Batman fight Superman

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2016)

Because anyone with a brain would see Superman as a villain. If he wasn't there, civilization probably wouldn't exist. Small matter. And then there is the matter of who he saves and how. All of this set up is an excuse to create fabricated animosity against Superman because they need it to set up the big fight. That's what this is all about. Create some childish ridiculous reason to have superheroes fight.
Right from the start this is one big confused mess. It's difficult to follow what is going on because it's all substance, no coherent story. Without ruining the movie for you, this is one where brain must be left at the door completely. And even then, whatever grey matter you have left must be turned off. It doesn't have to make sense. Big, weepy philosophical speeches are made to government as if these are earth shattering issues of monumental proportion. Taking itself seriously as if any of these statements are anything more than nonsense in the land of make believe is another downfall of this film.
It is as bad as it sounds. High budget production doesn't save this film from being the dumb watch that it is.
