Hello Everyone,
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
Well it's that time again for another review. Only this time it is on a movie that was disappointing and that's putting it nicely. Which is a shame because it was much anticipated. And while we all really wanted to like this film and find it enjoyable, that just wasn't the case. And it left most people with a sour taste in their mouths as they walked out of the theater. With all that being said let's get started with the review of the much disappointing Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
There are many problems with this film but the biggest ones are for me were the writing and directing. Let's start with the writing. First of all it was like they didn't even bother with doing an second draft or a third, or a fourth etc. Like they thought their first draft was the best and they were not going to do any better. And that's just lazy on the writer's part. Second is there is too much build up that it makes the movie boring. In the first act they were trying to introduce Superman whom we did not need an introduction for because we already got one in Man of Steel, so why do it again. They did the same for Lois and Perry White when it wasn't needed. And then they introduce Batman and Lex Luthor and again it wasn't needed, we already know those character. Then to top it off they were introducing Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg and their introductions just get brushed off. They should have saved them for the Justice League, there was just too many characters in this film.
After all those introductions that slow down the film we finally get our first scene with Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent and it was such a stupid scene because basically they were mad at each other when they didn't have one reason to be mad. So, they meet their mad, Lex does all kinds of crazy shit don't get me started and that's it, that's the whole scene. Here you have two of the best comic book characters meeting for the first time and they don't go anywhere with it, what's the point and the whole movie it like that, too much build up not enough payoff. It;s the same thing when Superman and Batman are fighting and while it is an entertaining scene the payoff is no good because there was all this build up to it and when it actually came it was not an evenly match fight Batman kicked Superman's ass so again what was the point. Oh yeah there was no point! Another problem with the writing there are a lot pf plot holes. For examples Lex stated he ha s been playing Batman for two years but Batman didn't get his letters until two hours before the Batman/Superman fight. So that made no sense at all. Then there was that horrible scene where Lex creates doomsday which was not explained. And that it another plot hole if Lex's plan was to have a Batman kill Superman then w does he even need doomsday. Pointless!
While Ben Afleck did surprise me and actually was fairly decent at the role of Batman. I would have like to see him acted like Bruce Wayne, the womanizing, playboy instead of just being mad the entire film. But I can't fault him for that, that's on the director. I am talking to you Zack Snyder. Have the characters act like they're supposed to. But if you just want to see Batman and Superman fight, you get that and while that scene is thrilling, the plot just makes no sense and the overall movie just boring and disappointing.
