"But if Supes isn't governed by an innate morality, the cornerstone of this character, then the only reason he hasn't thrown every bad guy on the planet into orbit is because he doesn't really care to solve that problem. . . . He's a whiny, truculent, occasionally homicidal child, and if that's not a better representation of the United States and what it believes in, then I stand chastened with knuckles rapped.""BVS is an unerring pastiche of who we are at this moment in time: scared, angry, violent, disjointed, poisoned by hiraeth (Batman keeps a Joker-defiled batsuit in a Plexiglas display case like a mad hobbyist), driven by emotion rather than logic, by ideologies rather than reason. It's polarized, xenophobic, hyper-sexualized, hyper-desensitized, and, in the final analysis, more than a little psychotic. BVS is the inmates running the studio. And it's going to make a billion dollars."
The only review I read that credits the movie with any merit at all, though watching it is a joy only for cynical, masochistic, existentialists looking for heroes in a post-9/11 world where everyone is a criminal.

I don't really care either way... Though gotta say Snyder makes films for 12 year old boys. Don't know how or why people expect anything more. Even a big dumb action film like Predator has more heart and well crafted storytelling than any of his CGI fests of "cool shit".
- predator is excellent and far better than this drivelCygnusZero4

- it's a masterpiece.inteliboy
- some films for 12 year old boys are actually good though.fadein11
- Some are. You could say that first Iron Man is for kids, but its a great movie that anyone could like.CygnusZero4
- Its a comic book character, of course it for kids, but its just a good movie. As is some of the Batmans. This movie just sucks period.CygnusZero4

From one of the user reviews. Sounds like a lovely movie.
"I must return to my central, headline-grabbing statement and explain how Batman vs. Superman is a worse movie than the infamous Batman and Robin. I understand how loaded that declaration is, so allow me to unpack it. This is a bad movie, and without that I have no doubt. It's plodding, incoherent, tiresome, dreary, poorly developed, and so self-serious and overwrought to the point that every ounce of fun is relinquished. It feels more like punishment than entertainment, a joyless 150-minute exercise in product launching. By the end of the movie I sat in my chair, defeated and weary. " -- Nate Z.
- these guys are falling over themselves trying to write the most outrageous review that will generate the most likes and trend.kona
- ^ You're not wrong. I haven't seen the movie, but I am getting a lot of entertainment out of these reviews.DRIFTMONKEY
- The crux of all complaints is that they just want a little fun. We all love the serious take on Super Heroes, but you need some levity.ETM
- And that is in tone, not occasional, bad one-liners.ETM
- Outrageous or not, this review was extremely accurate.MondoMorphic

I still don't understand why Batman and Superman would be at odds with each other. I also don't have the time to invest in really understanding this, so please, no comments.
- in trailer it looks like they show the battle between Sup & Zod and the wreckage they cause to the cityRamanisky2
- while panning in on close up of an angry Bruce Wayne who see's the destruction
http://www.mirf.ru/w…Ramanisky2 - Its a storyline from the comics. A really shitty storyline, but yeah, thats where its from.CygnusZero4
- Philosophical differences on how to protect the planet, which is funny bc Batman kills people in this movie.CygnusZero4

It's a mess. No doubt.
But, it has the genuine enjoyment of rummaging through an old but familiar attic.
Saw it with my kids. After, we talked and debated for two hours about the potential for the next films, what certain scenes meant and what the actors/characters brought - we don't do that very often.
I kinda wanna see it again.
- +1 I agree. It was a mess, but I liked how cynical it was.Al_dizzle

This might actually be better than BvS

6.5/10
Not nearly as bad as advertised. I read a number of critics saying the storyline was hard to follow. I can see that if you don't read / watch all the other DC books / shows. They didn't really explain metahumans / how Sup isn't alone in terms of being as powerful as he is and therefor is appearing less Godlike etc.
If you know of the Justice League stories and have read all the crossover stories that DC has put out in the past then this film might actually hit home (still a little lacking though). I can see why Snyder keeps saying he made the film for the fans of the books... but that approach may leave the average viewer confused / annoyed as they're used to seeing Superman as a single 'super' entity on the planet that protects all humans. DC killed that 'superior god-like' aspect of Superman long ago in their books but never on screen (till now).

I'll admit to anyone that I enjoyed BatmanvSuperman. It had the right balance of cheesiness and action that any decent superhero film should have.
Notes:
• Batman was a delusional psychotic.
• Emo-Superman is consistent with the comics from late 90s- 2000s era
• Lois Lane gets saved as she always does, ode to camp
• Lex's whole motivation was to prove he could control a God and he did it. Mastermind.- I haven't seen the film, but devious chess-playing Lex is always better than exo-armour wearing Lex.face_melter

I figure, why not here?

HBO is spending 20+ million to complete Zach Snyder's cut of Justice League to be released on HBO MAX in 2021.
