Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice PG-13 5/10

The oldest lie in American history is that a comic book film can be filled with unnecessary characters and still be good.

The biggest problem with “Batman v Superman” was the oversaturation of unnecessary characters meant to foreshadow the next film. Such characters as Wonder Woman and Doomsday did not belong in this film. Their respective parts felt like the movie was written and done then they were shoehorned in.
The film felt like a five hour film jammed into a two and half hour film. Everythingkj happened too fast. Much of the logic i n the film was thrown out to jam everything in.

Behind the film, which was half as long as it should have been based upon the content, were some entertaining, if brief, moments.

The actual confrontation between Batman and Superman was the high point of the film. Everything else felt forced.

It seems obvious that the best part of a Batman versus Superman film would be the actual confrontation of the two, but it holds true.

Batman and Superman had an interesting on-screen dynamic. The idea that Superman is a flawed god and Batman is the mortal putting him in check was seen throughout the film. This aspect should have been more developed throughout the film.

Greek mythology was alluded to every minute, and it almost became painful how every line Jesse Eisenberg had as Lex Luthor was something about angels or gods.

Overall the film had some interesting scenes between Batman and Superman, but those were hidden behind a wall of pure film filth.
