Reviews Film / Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice

Lowest common denominator, not very great a movie.

(Spoilers)

CONs:

• The movie’s a failure if you are looking for a good anti-Superman plot (or even just a good realistic plot). I’d recommend reading something like The Metropolitan Man instead.
• It’s too stretched-out. I reckon something like 60 minutes could’ve been chopped off without negatively affecting the outcome quality.
• They went with the lazy approach of making the antagonist, Lex Luthor, into the clichéd crazy (super)villain cardboard cutout.
• I’m not sure if this counts as a Product Placement, but halfway through the movie there was a sequence of scenes that was essentially an injected trailer for the upcoming Justice League movie. It felt very artificial and forced, and had almost nothing to do with this film’s plotline.
• Somebody’s reportedly astroturfing the movie’s IMDB rating and reviews.

PROs:

• It has a good soundtrack, considering.
• The choice for Wonder Woman’s actress (Gal Gadot) is if not spot on than at least quite fortunate.
  • Wonder Woman’s old picture seemed cool.
