not the worst thing I've seen lately, but still turgid and formulaic
Awesome! Better than expected. Dark and hard. Well done!
I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Awesome flik. Better than any Marvel movie. The DC Trinity kicks ass. They took two classic story lines and melded them together seamlessly. Perfection from page to screen
Brilliant film, maybe a little moody, but that gives it character, loved it.
boring 3/4 first of the movie better the last 1/4. Disappointing in overall, team superman all the way.
Zimmer's music was a big dull
Well this movie was so slow to start and should of been a batman movie hardly any superman stuff more of batman...I did like the scene with Clarke's father in the snow...but they should of just made a sequel to the last superman movie no need for batman to ruin the movie.....
The Batman motivations to fight with Superman are more well constructed than the Superman motivations, but this don't make the movie worse, actually, the movie is really good. A great prequel to Justice League movies.
Sometimes, the movie is a bit more confuse than normal (especially the first half of it), but if you think that DC Universe is based in multiple universes, a pretty much of the unexplained scenes can be explained.
So the movie starts off from a different angle from the last Superman movie (Man of Steel). This time you see it happening from the ground, together with, you guessed right, Bruce Wayne. A lot of things break, a lot of things get destroyed, a lot of people die. This is the start of Bruce his hate for Superman (which I now kind of understand). The world starts to question Superman as well, seeing that he only does what he thinks is right and does’t consult with the anyone. Batman wants to teach Superman a lesson, but Superman wants to teach Batman a lesson as well after finding out about the things he does to criminals. In between these rivals is a man called Lex Luthor. Very smart guy with a lot of money who is a bit mad in the head. He would love to see Superman gone and starts manipulating Superman into killing Batman. Only once the fight between them starts they soon find out they have more in common then they thought and not only that because Lex created an alien monster called Doomsday and it’s on his way to destroy the world. Once Batman and Superman start to fight the monster a very charming lady by the name Wonder Woman joins them, and so we get our little introduction to Justice League.
I didn’t have very high expectations to be honest. Some of my friends saw it before I did and they weren’t too excited. I have to say though, I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the story although I did feel like Zack Snyder got a bit too enthusiastic and tried to put too much in 2,5 hours. That was one of the thing that frustrated me. There is so much information I like to know, or know more about, but they used their precious time to fill the movie with one too many closeups and slo-mo shots. Also, I don’t think Bruce’s dreams gave me much more information about things, as well as the beginning of the movie (which was almost exactly the same as Batman Begins. I did like Jeffrey Dean Morgan, even if it was only a few seconds). At first I didn’t really know how I felt about Ben Affleck becoming Batman but he did a great job! Not as great as Christian Bale, but he surely didn’t disappoint. Someone who did disappoint though was Lois Lane, with that I mean the character not Amy Adams, she was as great as always, but Lois Lane, girl, you were nothing but a burden. I felt like she was just in the way most of the time, and I really like her but I feel like this movie didn’t really need her most of the time. Jesse Eisenberg was a GREAT Lex Luthor, he started of as a not yet too insane scientist but soon enough his dark side showed and in the end he got perfectly crazy (I like my bad guys a bit insane). I’m excited to find out what he is going to do next. Let’s talk about Clark Kent for a moment now. First things first. Some time in the movie I started thinking, how is it that Batman needs a mask to stay unrecognized but once Superman puts on glasses nobody knows he’s Superman. I mean, I never realized it before but HOW. I’ll tell you, once I put my glasses on I don’t become Wonder Woman. So that was a bit saddening, but it is what it is and we move on to talk about how great a Superman Henry Cavill is. I won’t stop saying it because it’s true. The one who casted him can be very proud. His looks are so alike with the comics, I’m impressed. Not only his looks though, he just plays a very good Superman, I don’t have much to say about it really. Only stating the facts. Doomsday did disappoint a bit. I’ll be honest with you, I don’t know much about the comics and stuff but what I heard about Doomsday, I expected more. I also think/know he is/can not be dead yet. Then there was Wonder Woman, only a small introduction, but we’ve seen her in action now and she is one fierce lady. I’m ready to get to know her story as well.
Okay, to finish off my story. I’m very exited and ready for Justice League Part One and all it brings with it. It’s too bad we have to wait till mid 2017.
I was pleased with the special effects and action. There were a couple parts where it got so slow that I found myself nodding off.. But overall it was worth the time..
This will be the very Definition of a bad Movie for at least the next 10 years....
It really is the worst Movie I have ever seen in a theatre...
OK, it's taken me a while to come up with a rating for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
It's a real odd one, and really depends on how seriously you want to take this or compare it with other films in this series or genre.
There were moments of genius mixed with moments of naffness.
My favourite moments were the 'dream sequences'. There was one in particular that was really brilliant.
I liked the meaner, more sarcastic Alfred.
Jesse Eisenberg was excellent as Lex Luther.
I loved the references to the old films and the films we haven't even seen yet.
I liked the music.
The 2.5 hours went quite quickly and I didn't get bored.
However, there were some niggles which I could have done without which is why it dropped 3 points.
Overall, I didn't think it sucked THAT badly, and was worth making and worth watching.
7/10
its actually surprisingly good. give it a 7/10.
Batman vs. Superman felt like a piss-poor excuse for the faults of Man of Steel.
Fantastic Film, special effects are astounding. I really don't know why the critics and some fans are panning the film, i feel Zach Snyder did a fantastic job. Ben Affleck as Batman at first i was dubious but IMO he knocked it out of the ballpark this to me is what Batman is meant to be. Jesse Eisenberg did a great job as Lex Luther. To be honest no point me going on i couldn't find any faults, for those of you that were going to see it but critics swayed you not to take the plunge and see it. well worth it.
This movie was a gigantic waste of potential.
not comparable to Nolan's take on The Dark Knight. this is a balls-to-the-wall code-out-of-the-window Batman. I think the movie will disappoint most of fanboys of both Batman, and Superman, but if you just want something different and don't care if it deviates from the lore of the characters, you gonna love it.
Other than a weak script, this movie was actually entertaining and I don't believe it deserves the hate it gets. It follows DC's ~dark and gritty~ line, while still being a good superhero movie. The only problem I found was Batman's weak reasoning for wanting to stop Superman, which I'm going to blame on the bad writing; and dream sequences that made no sense unless you are a die-hard fan of the comics (and sometimes not even then) (and they are cool! but when they are THAT long, you're just alienating your casual audience). A+ things: Wonder Woman, and the OST.
A good, solid superhero movie. Many people are criticising it and there are some valid points. However it is better to go into the film with no expectations. Many of us have a version of the film we want in our heads. The same happened with The Phantom Menace. No film can live up to the blockbuster we create in our imagination. Instead we should enjoy the film as somebody else's vision and not our own. The director's cut may tie up some of the loose plot ends, and regardless, I am excited for the future of the DC universe.
I loved this movie. I'm not really good finding words so I'll link this video of who took the words right out of my heart:

Not a 10/10, but i really like it, it was a little bit dark. Hope they bring that touch to the Justice League.
This movie rocks, sure it had its odd plotholes here and there and tried to cram too many things into one movie, but I enjoyed it! I'm starting to think this is a fanboy thing.
Ben rocked as Batman
Henry nailed Superman once again, no surprise there
Jessie had a weird Lex approach but I think that was done purposely for future films to define the character more to how Lex become who he is today.
Cinematography was def eye candy, acting top notch, directing first class and the score really complemented every scene!
Well...I did like Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne...but darn this movies problems have problems :/ The sad thing is that there is a really good movie somewhere in there...
Similar in structure and tone to Man of Steel, this is actually a much more disciplined effort from Snyder. It seems he has taken the criticism from the last entry to heart as much of the film centres on exploring Superman’s impact on the world, the fallout from the destruction and mayhem that he caused in the previous entry and both the awe and fear he engenders. These are themes well worth exploring and whilst they don’t solve the problematic nature of the last entry, they do help to make this film a worthwhile sequel. The film picks up several story strands at the beginning and as a result there are still some superfluous and unnecessary scenes within the film that only serve to confuse - the dream sequence in particular should have been cut as should reference to future films/superheroes which would have been better as part of an extended cut or post credit sequence. Despite this and some uneven editing in the first half, the storylines converge in quite a satisfying way. Like Man of Steel, the film then gives way to an extended action sequence in the final act, but despite the CGI overload, this is somehow less relentless. Casting is spot on with Affleck in particular standing out as Batman/Bruce Wayne, but Cavill makes for a great Superman, particularly as the film develops. It is a shame there is little room for the female characters, though Gal Gadot works well within the limited time she is given. Neither a perfect film, nor the atrocity that many mainstream reviews seem to have painted this as, this is an enjoyable sequel to Man of Steel and, given how the film ends, an intriguing set-up for the next.
despite all the bad reviews, i still had high expectations for this movie. sadly, even though its not as bad as the critics suggest, its also not the epic that many fans are making it out to be. for a movie that's nearly 2 and a half hours long, it takes well over 1 and a half before we actually get the fight between Batman and Superman. that wouldn't be a problem if the movie had a lot going on until then' and sadly it doesn't. way too much talking and not enough action, with the fight between Batman and Superman not lasting very long. Doomsday was basically shoehorned in towards the end, and then dispatched far too quickly, and the cameos by future Justice League members were unnecessary, not to mention baffling, since when does Barry Allen have long hair? he looks like a cross between a hippy and an emo. Aquaman's cameo was obviously meant to make him look bad ass, but instead he just looked comical, and what the hell was going on during that Cyborg cameo? Wonder Woman's appearance was probably the only good thing about this movie and has me already looking forward to her solo outing. unfortunately, when a brief appearance by 1 character is the best part of a movie, you know that's a bad sign. if this is how DC and WB launch a cinematic universe, things are not off to a good start.
From a completely non-superhero fan perspective: Literally no idea what was going on, what the movie was about, was there a plot? Felt like action sequence after action sequence and awfully cliche lines in between. I know that some confusion is understandable since I was oblivious to a backstory, but I feel as if all movies should make some sort of sense to 'outsiders.' Anyhow, besides finding it extremely confusing, I found it extremely boring (these likely are linked) but still nothing held me back from literally walking out of the theatre. Still not convinced to be a superhero fan!
The dream has come true. The wait that lasted 30 years is finally over. The original superheroes are now back where they should have been. At the top of the of the original of the species. Thank you Warner Bros. Thank you Zacl Snyder.
| This bat vigilante... He's like a one man reign of terror.
If you want action. If you want special effects. If you want several superheroes in one move, this is the movie for you.
I actually really enjoyed this movie, I personally wasn’t sold on the super Kryptonian alien but it certainly gave everyone a work out!
I love in these modern movies they give Superman more of an entry/exit sound, a nice solid thud and a very definite whoosh as he departs - and - in this film even a very solid chest sound as he’s hit (in jest) by one of the other cast. No flabbiness allowed here!
For me, perhaps, the runaway character was the mysterious Diana Prince.
I thought it was Pretty bad actually, Storywise was the worst part.It got an extra point(5 instead of 4) from me for the 3D....and the amazing Wonder Woman who deserves her own theater movie or serie on TV.
After Man of Steel,as well as in Batman vs Superman, Superman is still as dislikeable as ever but it might not be entirely it's fault...All that even makes "Superman Returns"almost a better film :(
Deadpool was much better
I hope next Marvel movie won't suck as much as Age of Ultron
it has the style of man of steel, I like the story and how the tell us
No hay que dejarse llevar por las criticas. El inicio es impecable, intenso y perfecto, el soundtrack ayuda a generar tension, muy bien combinado. Quizas la pelicula se vea un tanto apurada a medio tramo, pero es por lo recargada que esta. Para desarrollarla como se deberia, hubiese que dividirla en dos partes. Lo de Eisenberg como Luthor es brillante, y el Batman de Affleck es lo mas parecido que he visto al comic (Incluso mejor que Bale). El unico punto malo que le encontre, fue la falta de realismo en la batalla entre Superman y Batman... Dos colosos peleando y... ¿Ninguno sangro? (Salvo la cortada en la mejilla). Para mi, le gano a lo que va de la saga de los Avengers, pero es cuestion de gustos.
It is true. A very expensive reaction video for Man of Steel!
Boring and long.
Contorced story.
Good final.
Meh.
The cast is mostly good despite Jesse Eisenberg's unnecessary over the top performance. The problem is Zack Snyder who actually compared Batman vs Superman to Watchmen in an interview. Which it should be nothing like. There's even a weird dream sequence that feels as if it was right out of Watchmen. The movie also feels uneven and unfocused. However it's one of the better movies that has tried to do too much at a time; like Amazing Spider-Man 2 for instance. With reviews only higher than Superman 3-4 and Batman & Robin ;Justice League probably would be better without Snyder. After Man of Steel; he explained why Superman had to kill. Now; is explaining why Batman has to. Some fans have told me on Twitter; Snyder is a genius who sticks to the source material. If that was the case Batman and Superman wouldn't go against their code in the comics. Which is "not to kill." Critics said the problem with Man of Steel was that it was too dark and not much fun. So...Snyder brought the same thing to Batman vs Superman. That's why the reviews are so bad. As well as being a pretty incoherent movie. Still; the movie has plenty of good moments to separate it from being awful. I however think with Snyder involved; it's like Bay with Transformers. The reviews will get worse with each of his DC movies. They will have their moments but without being nowhere near as good as a Nolan Batman film.
Ben Affleck has been comfirmed to play the role as Batman (http://variety.com/2013/film/news/ben-affleck-is-the-new-batman-1200586881/).
Not sure how I feel about this, but it's gonna be interesting for sure!
Only two years left...

It was a nice action movie if you didn't put your mind too deeply in the storyline. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor tried to be too much Heath Ledgers Joker. Overall it was a very dark movie and didn't had a typical Hollywood ending.
