Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

TheMunkeyBoy I decided to rewatch this after giving it a 6/10. I watched the Ultimate Edition and I'm glad I did. Now it makes sense. It's long - but, it's so much better. Whoever edited it down should be held responsible for the bad ratings. This is a great movie. Please, watch the Ultimate Edition, which is what Zack Snyder intended you to see.

tomr-28618 This was probably one of my most anticipated movies so far and leaving the cinema back when I first saw it I couldn't really formulate my opinion on it properly.This review will be about the Ultimate Edition of the film...Let's start with the negatives and get them out of the way first. Lex Luthor was a very odd character and felt very out of place due to how he was written and performed.Doomsday was atrocious to say the least, the creation of doomsday was clever using general zods body but he felt crammed in and messed up the tone, as well as looking pretty bad.Wonder Woman, again was crammed in.The Justice league set up was bad and rushed.The is messy due to the action being spaced out until the end where it just goes overboard. The editing itself also is jolting mainly in the first act.The Batman and Superman conflict was way too quickly resolved and the entire movie should have been built mostly around this with world building for the future DC movies being less and also more subtle. The film just felt too big for it's own good and tried to do too much at once.The only interesting character in the film was Batman, the rest were just okay or bland.Now for the positives... Batman as mentioned was interesting to watch and Ben Affleck gives a great performance. He felt fresh and different whilst still having the classic batman feel. Probably my second favourite on screen Batman after Christian Bale.The acting overall was good to great, with the exception of Jesse Eisenberg (although I do think he usually is a good actor).The Action scenes such as the warehouse scene and the dream scene were great. They were well filmed and we'll choreographed. The warehouse scene was so detailed and intricate giving it a great visceral feel. The dream fight being one shot also made it stand out and was visually impressive.Speaking of visuals, the film looks very good in terms of cinematography and most of the visuals, besides Doomsday and some other small elementsThe choice to progress Man of Steels story in this way by having the end battle from that film tie into batman and Lex Luthor character motivations, as well was as the overall story concerning Superman's place on Earth was clever and interesting. Most of the music for this film was very good although not as memorable as the Dark Knight trilogies soundtrack for example. The worst piece on this soundtrack would have to be Lex Luthors theme which does fit the tone of his character but as mentioned he feels out of place and therefore this piece does and it feels a bit silly in comparison to the rest of the music such as Batman's theme.Overall the positives do outway the negatives but it is still a conflicting film to watch as there is so much that could have been done better such as tightening the script to focus more on Batman and Superman's conflict and forget about the Doomsday and Lex Luthor stuff. Also having a Batman vs Superman movie might have worked more at the end of the DC cinematic universe as there would be no need for the world building at that point. Still the film is somewhat enjoyable and I do recommend the Ultimate Edition as the plot is more cohesive but it does still feel to busy and messy a lot of the time.

ayushmahajan-08242 It is one of the best movie ever made on comic characters and director zack snyder has shown us what is the real meaning of cinema based on comics. Symbolism at its best

josephbarboza Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is about how Bruce Wayne/Batman (Played by Ben Affleck) is worried about Superman (Played by Henry Cavill) on Earth. So is Lex Luthor, and a whole ton of humanity. During the final confrontation in Man of Steel, many people that Bruce Wayne knew and cared about were killed. Buildings were destroyed, and probably thousands of people were killed. So Batman is angry and ready to take on Superman, but he's getting too violent by himself. He is branding people with the Bat symbol, torturing them, and murdering them. In one scene, Alfred implies to Bruce that Batman is going too far, but he doesn't listen. For the first half, this film was smart, and controlled. I actually liked it, right up until after Batman and Superman had their first fight. Then, the movie just gets really stupid. I could stand some of the flashbacks and dream sequences, even though I just didn't understand some of them. So anyway, Lex Luthor spawns in Doomsday, this huge Kryptonian monster that feeds on energy and cannot be destroyed. Now this is my big problem with BvS. They didn't need a villain. Remember The Prestige? The two magicians fighting each other was enough, they didn't need someone manipulating them to fight. And in the end, one of them is proved as going WAY too far with the whole competition. That was a great movie. This film had a lot of potential, but it sort of lost it near the second half. Special Effects/Choreography/Editing: The film had decent CGI, and handheld cam was used sometimes, but luckily, there was no overuse of shaky cam. 16/20 Plot: Like I said earlier, they didn't need Doomsday, but Lex Luthor influencing the two heroes to fight was a great idea. It just felt like they were trying to set up their future movies with this one, and the second half wasn't very good. It felt more like a Superman movie than a Superman/Batman crossover. 13/20Characters: Ben Affleck portrayed Bruce Wayne very well. You could clearly see the anger and stress built up through his performance. Superman/Clark Kent was okay, there wasn't anything special but he wasn't terrible. Lex Luthor was malevolent, but sometimes kind of forced. Nevertheless, I praise Jesse Eisenberg for his work on this role. 15/20Soundtrack: Anything composed by Hans Zimmer deserves an Oscar. I just loved Lex Luthor's theme and I will definitely listen to it again. A creative take on a theme for a character. 18/20Acting: Some of Cavill's lines felt forced or extreme, but overall, he was fine. Ben Affleck was great, Amy Adams felt like just motivation, just a pointless romance even though it was a little more than that. Jesse Eisenberg was great and menacing, my second favorite DC villain. 16/20Overall rating: 78%
