Matrixiole
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Man of Steel made us all believe that WB was upto some thing good. This film thrashed all our hopes.WB's crazy deal to make DCEU films dark and camouflaged to black and Zack Snyder's fanatic ideas for a broken Batman made this deal a lot worse. Messing with Earth 31 Batman to suit his vision itself was crazy, to be honest that Batman should be left as it is instead of mending it to one's liking. It's a unique story that should not be adopted for mainstream culture without mentioning the fact that events mentioned are from Elseworlds. Ben Affleck still manages to impress and has rightfully earned top spot for best portrayal of Bruce Wayne, though Batman was kinda left aside to focus on the broken Bruce.
Another thing that made this film half NAY was Superman itself. Superman sequels need to build more optimism by razing previous bars to keep viewers on their seat's edge, and this film did not give even a hint of that. Henry seemed a bit down on zeal and enthusiasm he'd displayed previously and that doesn't make Superman more likable.
Politics around it needed to be more arranged and sequential instead of random clippings thrown on screen. More organizing would've let viewers understand the confusion related to Superman's existence more comprehensible.
Lex Luthor and Doomsday were the least interesting. Jesse Eisenberg was a miscast despite his track record of giving spotless performances. Doomsday should've been saved for future films, this one could've been Bizarro or someone equally strong. Lois Lane fell completely apart much to our excitement and Amy is visibly struggling with her character at many points. They need to make sure that Lois gets worthy screen time without forcing her.
Other good parts were Gal's Diana making her DCEU debut which was amazing wit that crazy and overwhelmingly good OST defining her in minutes. Jeremy Iroms and his angelic voice made him another good Alfred and rest of the crew was good.
Overall one may, may not like this film depending upon personal preferences of genres. Watch it yourself before judging by its cover.

So many people complaining about Ben Affleck. Me? I cried a little when I saw Jessie eisenberg's (can't be bothered to check if I have that correct) name come up at the beginning of the movie. Never seen a single film with him that was any good. He's awful. Simply awful. Cant blame him entirely or this one though.One and a half hours in and I'm begging for it to end. Quick check of the time remaining... oh hell I'm only half way...I'm surprised. Man of steel was ok. Wonder Woman (yes I watched out of sequence) was excellent. How does this steaming pile of boredom fit between them?Slow, boring, drawn out unnecessarily and not very well written.DC vs Marvel? No contest. Every one of Marvel's movies beat this, even Black Panther!

This movie did not make sense for the second film to expand the DCEU. Instead of this being the second DCEU film, Warner Bros should have made a Man of Steel 2 or Batman movie. Additionally, the marketing for this was awful because one of the trailers revealed doomsday and Batman and Superman working together, which were supposed to be the surprises of the movie. Batman's motivations against Superman are clear in this, but Superman's motivations against Batman are nonexistent and don't make sense. Wonder Woman was great in this movie and had really good fight scenes. The worst part of this movie was Lex Luthor. Jesse Eisenberg is a great actor, but he is just not meant for the role of Luthor. His character is just annoying and does not come across at all as smart or intimidating. Ben affleck is great as Batman and is very intimidating. Superman barely has any dialogue in the movie, which really hurts his character development. Having doomsday appear was a terrible idea. He looked terrible and wasn't intimidating. A main problem with this movie was that they tried to cram way too much into it. This movie had to be a sequel to man of steel, introduce Batman and Wonder Woman, set up Justice League, and have the death of Superman.

The film is ultimately average. It starts off extremely, and I mean EXTREMELY boring. The build up to the actual action scenes is nearly 3/4 of the movie, which consists of all talk with VERY little action. However, when all the talk does finally end, and the fights begin, they have some of the best action scenes I've ever seen in a superhero movie. The Batman vs. Superman fight is great and just about perfectly executed, Batman woops some thugs asses in an epic warehouse fight, combined with the fight against doomsday being equally if not more amazing than the others. The CGI is outstanding. Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL deliver an outstanding score. I just wish it didn't take so long to build up to these amazing action scenes. I'd just advise watching the scenes on YouTube, because aside from these scenes the movie doesn't have anything else worth watching.
