Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

How would the world react to an alien being, seemingly invulnerable, suddenly living among us? 18 months have passed since that fateful ending to Man of Steel. The world has, to a certain extent, grown used to sharing the planet with Superman, but doubts still remain over his true intentions and no one is more suspicious than Batman (played expertly by Ben Affleck). He has no trust at all in mankind, so an alien has no chance. And he has a point. If Superman was to decide to fry us all he could without any resistance. It's a scary thought. What if Superman was to turn against the human race? What could we do? Well Lex Luthor (perhaps the most irritating character ever portrayed in a film) has a plan but that plan involves turning the already fearful and suspicious Batman further against the man in blue by manipulating the world around them. He brings them together, sets things in motion, and ultimately forces the two protagonists into a fight to the death. Black v Blue, Man v God as Lex puts it. It's a subtle take on our own real-world conflicts and it works very well. The reason for the end of the fight is a little questionable, but I can let that slide. Wonder Woman is, of course, introduced in this film as are several of the other characters from the DC universe. Aquaman (thankfully not the same as the one portrayed in Entourage), Cyborg and Flash all make brief appearances setting the tone for the next film. It's well done and doesn't appear forced at all. Henry Caville does another excellent turn as the conflicted, confused and quite often misunderstood Superman. He doesn't have many lines in this film with a count of just 42 so he can mostly be seen using facial expressions instead but he's more of a supporting character in this film with Batman taking most of the limelight this time around. But it's still an excellent performance that sees him go from the persecuted to worshiped as the film goes on with convincing turns at each step. All in all, if you're looking for something to sink your teeth in to, something that offers the escapism of a superhero movie but that also throws your way a more meaningful and thought-provoking spectacle than just two men hitting each other then I cannot recommend this film highly enough. Yes, there is violence aplenty but it's all there for a reason that the other superhero movies don't give you. This is dark, menacing, expertly written and directed and should not be missed.

If you have already decided that you are not going to like a film before you watch it, then why bother to watch it? Too many of the sniffy, nit-picky reviewers here had clearly approached this film in that way rather than watching it for what it is. I thought the actors who played the main characters were excellent. Batman is meant to be a brooding, dark person of few words and I thought Ben Affleck did a good job, this is not Lego Batman, but serious crime-fighting stuff. I also thought Zack Synder did a superb job of what must have been a difficult and technically complex film to realise. The set-piece fights look awesome. The music also deserves a mention, it was just right for the film and also very moody or uplifting as required, I think I could happily listen to this as a soundtrack alone. Avast ye, Here Be Spoilers! I think that some people decided not to like this film because at times it seems critical of superheroes and, of course, it pits Batman against Superman. When Lex Luthor blows up the Capitol and leaves Superman standing in the inferno, at first I thought, "Oh no, I hate this, everyone is going to blame Superman" but, although some did, the consequences were well handled and thought-provoking, it was a great scene. A highly entertaining movie and a nice introduction to Wonder Woman. I have not seen the Wonder Woman film at the time of writing this. When I saw the early promos, I was not sure about Gal Gadot in the role. Now I am convinced! At the end when they fight the Krypton Creature, she holds her own very well with some great fight shots. I also look forward to Justice League.

What can I say? Just like Man of Steel, I love this movie. Some may frown upon DCU not doing as well Marvel, and I can happily disagree on that. I think that DC are doing something unique in their own way and voice, while Marvel also do the similar in their own voice and way, and that's great and awesome for all fans. You can like both and other wonderful worlds, and you don't have to choose one over the other, as some feel need to do. I like to call this movie Super Bat, for its a rare thing to have two iconic superheroes on the screen like this and have it work, so well. By all means, watch Batman vs Superman and enjoy it for what it is. Enjoy it and please don't compare its suit and cape to any other, that fits other super heroes. Its got a good story feeding from previous tales, awesome acting and action, and wonderful special effects. Its cast and crew did a great job, in bringing this world to life. I love it. Hopefully, when time comes I'll sit down and marathon watch all of these movies in one weekend, I'll look forward to doing so. Well done, WBDC. Pat yourselves on the back. You did good. X^ ^X

This movie has all of the ingredients of a surefire hit - Man of Steel, Dark Knight, Wonder Woman. Action, Suspense, Intrigue. Lots of familiar faces from the first movie (Man of Steel). Many new faces that I'm sure will pop-up again in the future Justice League/Batman/Aquaman movies too. This movie is dark and violent. It paints a picture of a world that is still coming to grips with the revelations and actions that occurred in Man of Steel. A bleak landscape where people are motivated by hate, vengeance, fear and uncertainty. Every character in this movie seems to have some sort of emotional motivation. All except one - Lex Luthor. It's not really explained in any clear way just why Luthor does what he does. I found that very annoying. As for Batman, I was surprised by how well Ben Affleck pulled off the role as the Dark Night. I was also intrigued and pleased by the hints and implications of what has happened to him before the events of Man of Steel. No doubt this will be followed up in some way in later movies. My only criticism of Batman in this move - why is he so happy to use guns? Batman doesn't use guns - It's part of what makes Batman BATMAN! Like I said, this movie has all the ingredients of a hit. It's just a shame that the pacing is uneven - stuttering even. The action seems to be all about the explosions. The dialogue seemed rather light and sparse, which with the gloomy lighting makes for a depressing atmosphere. It's almost like a badly made cake. Whoever baked it did all the right things - just used the ingredients in all of the wrong quantities. Then layered it in uneven tiers before covering it in a frosting made of the tears of Supermans past. This movie kind of makes me wish that Zod triumphed in Man Of Steel - because then I wouldn't have seen this movie. Ok, but a disappointment.

Wow! Not what I was expecting. After all the negative reviews I was expecting something cliche'd that made no sense. And with characters who were not engaging and seemed to have no to little reason for their actions. I think it was the complete opposite. And even when it got to the over the top actions scenes at the end I felt there was justification and reason for it. The cinematography was very good, the whole feel and look of the film was very high quality. It lacked the camp, childish and goofy feel of the Marvel films. It was not as dark and realistic as Dark Knight, but somewhere in between this and the Marvel films. I actually preferred the style to the Marvel movies. It asked big questions that would be asked in real life if we did have a super human being like Superman. I thought the plot was good, it was quite philisophical and a lot smarter than most marvel films. It was an ethical conundrum and batman is jaded and old. Very cool film! Totally immersive.

I'm going to keep this brief. I loved this film, truly loved it. I found that most negative reviews have been about an expectation of their characters and story of Batman v Superman to be the defining flaws they find within the film. Lex Luthor wasn't the stoic business man they were expecting, they hated it. Batman wasn't the strict but golden hearted man, who would never kill out of some strange moral code, they hated it. Superman wasn't iron strong in his beliefs and forever the optimist in human kind, they hated it. What I found is each of these characters were in a spot which was just outside of their normal character traits and this film proved the turning point for them to become or re-become that quintessential super hero. Batman is passed his prime, and after years of being tormented by various villains and losing one too many close friends and family members, he has all but given up on saving those who do wrong. He is in the game because he saves the innocent, and be damned with the guilty. Superman is yet to find himself, still tormented with the death of Zod and his battle for identity. Between the human who loves Louis and the alien who has become both feared and revered. Lex is the arrogant know it all, who thirsts for power, but isn't quite mature enough yet to take it by more practical means, and thus the throws en-genius tantrums against society and those he can't control. This story is a battle of ideologies, Superman trying to save a world which he doesn't believe wants him, and batman living in a world which wants him but he doesn't believe can be saved. The fight itself is short, but the fight is just a representation of the climax between the two, and to remove spoilers, i wont say who won. But the man or alien who believed in their cause stronger, took the win. The action on all ends of this film was brilliantly choreographed and I personally had no trouble following any of it. This film more than any other felt like gods battling among-st us. By the end of the film, Batman had a small part of his soul restored, faith in people to do good slightly restored and a glimmer of prime batman flickered at the end. Superman understood that this world did need him, and the world responded in kind, his faith restored stronger than before. Finally, I'd like to add, unlike a Marvel film, which I do love. Please look at this film with depth, think about each characters actions and the acting on display. Don't watch this film with preconceived notions of how they should behave, because this is a lived in world, prime batman has come and gone, prime superman hasn't even begun. This universe has started itself in the middle of a real world, rather than the beginning of the world, like with Iron-man. The acting was superb, the CGI for 90% of the movie was on point, major risks which we have yet to see from marvel have been taken in this film and it honestly feels like a refreshing breathe of fresh air. Although i don't require it, i do wish more critiques saw it the way I did. I do hope this bad spell for DC doesn't dumb down their future content and they manage to find a suitable middle ground for future films. 10/10, The night is darkest before the dawn, I cannot wait for suicide squad, wonder woman, infinity war part 1 and the rest of DC's cinematic universe.

Excellent film

An ambitious film telling a story of biblical proportions. Great casting, cinematic effects and soundtrack. In fact the biblical imagery pops up a few times in this film. For instance, towards the end of the film we see three crucifixes in the rubble behind Louis (The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ) and Superman (2 hours 14 minutes). The imagery of Louis holding Superman has been borrowed from the art world - Michaelangelo's sculpture now in the Vatican, Rome - La Pieta. The story line is placed squarely with the imagery found in the book of Revelation. The superheroes (Superman, Batman, Wonder woman) are re-imaginings of Jesus (or are they the arc-angels, Michael and Gabriel). In fact the whole DC universe is a battle of good over evil where good eventually wins and this, of course, is first found in the Bible. It's obvious who Lex Luthor is!!

L'ho visto al cinema e mi è piaciuto, nonostante le numerose critiche che ha ricevuto. L'ho preso in bluray proprio perchè sono tra coloro che lo hanno apprezzato e per l'aggiunta di una mezz'ora di scene inedite rispetto al cinema. L'edizione esclusiva by amazon è, per me, la migliore tra le varie confezioni disponibili proprio grazie alla sola presenza dello stemma di Batman e Superman in copertina. Semplice, essenziale ma di grande impatto!!! Il film è stato criticato da molti sia per la lunghezza (considerata eccessiva), sia per la "carenza" di scene d'azione rispetto ai dialoghi. In effetti, se si guarda questo film aspettandosi mega esplosioni, combattimenti a non finire e frasi fatte per tutta la pellicola, beh.. è facile rimanere delusi. Si tratta, invece, di un film di "passaggio/collegamento" che prepara il terreno per quel che verrà dopo, accennando ad eventi e introducendo personaggi che verranno approfonditi in seguito e questo comporta, necessariamente, a situazioni che lasciano maggiore spazio alla "trama" rispetto alle scene puramente d'azione. Nonostante questo, secondo me, il film fila via liscio per tutta la sua lunga durata esplodendo nei momenti dello scontro tra Batman e Superman con combattimenti epici e mai banali. Insomma, in questo film, quando entra in scena l'azione, lo fa bene alla grande!!! Per concludere, un film dell'universo DC degno del suo marchio!

Great
