It's been nearly two years since Superman's (Henry Cavill) colossal battle with Zod (Michael Shannon) devastated the city of Metropolis. The loss of life and collateral damage left many feeling angry and helpless, including crime-fighting billionaire Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck). Convinced that Superman is now a threat to humanity, Batman embarks on a personal vendetta to end his reign on Earth, while the conniving Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) launches his own crusade against the Man of Steel.

Shadow and Act

There is much to claw through here, so much so that the audience might easily find themselves exhausted from the overall aggression of the film. However, a lot of the story does work. The action is good, and the emotion feels real most of the time.

Tania Hussain

The Hudsucker

With a well-painted influence from the Man of Steel’s darkened hues and dramatic imaging, Batman v Superman is a very naturalistic story with a somber script.

InSession Film

The film was written by both Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, and their jarring duality is very present.

Few flaws with seeing superheroes kill bad guys and I personally dont like the casting of Lex Luthor. Asides that, the movie is really good, fun to watch, pretty good story to it. Yeah I love it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Charlie M It’s dumb fun.
