Batman/Superman Dawn of Justice movie review thread

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

Saw this movie last night, and loved it. I think people go into these movies looking for things to complain about so much that they miss dialogue or plot points or whatever it is that makes them repeat the same drivel in their wannabe professional critic reviews. I had no problem following the story. I had no problem understanding the motivation for Batman, Superman, and Lex. A lot of people seem to not understand why Batman and Superman fight, and I'm guessing it's because they weren't paying attention, or they're not good at watching movies. It's all laid out in the movie. The fight scenes are incredible. The set up for JLA is cool, to counter the negative reaction to how they introduce some JLA characters as "it was crammed in and unnecessary" as I've read countless times...it was creative, original, and it didn't derail the movie, while also nudging another character in a certain direction. It was 2 and a half hours long, it was intense the entire movie. I've read and heard it was boring, and I cannot even begin to understand how someone was bored by this movie unless they have zero interest in comic book movies in any way shape or form. If you have any interest in Batman or Superman you cannot be bored by this movie.

Spoilers to follow.


I began reading comics during Knightfall and Death of Superman, so seeing Bane break Batman in Dark Knight Rises and seeing the death of Superman on the big screen is very cool to me.

Batman/Bruce has been fighting for 20 years, it's clear he's gone off his rocker a bit, he says criminals he's put away are like weeds, you pull one out and another takes it's place. Superman is not like other criminals he's faced. He's determined to save the planet. There's Batman's motivation to fight Superman...some people seem confused on this.

Superman/Clark now 18 months into being Superman is still trying to figure out his morals. He sees what Batman is doing, and he knows instantly this is NOT what he believes in. He confronts Batman telling him to stop, because he understands Batman's intent, but his execution is crossing the line. Right there the two have opposing views. Conflict...not sure what more people were looking for. I guess people wanted them to sit down and have a 30 minute debate.

For people complaining about the JLA character introductions, they are used to further Wonder Woman's decision to help Batman, and in time help Batman and Superman. They don't take away from the movie, and I thought it was pretty cool watching them revealed.

Confusion on the ending...Bruce says he has a feeling something bad is coming, and they show WHY he feels that immediately when Batman confronts Lex in prison, and Lex warns him something much bigger is coming.

If anyone complains about Batman using a gun and killing people in this movie...wow...it was a nightmare of the world he fears where Superman is ruling the world, and Batman has to form some sort of resistance because the world is pretty much over at that point. It's a NIGHTMARE...he is fearing both Superman ruling the planet and him having to kill people.

Bottom line, if you hated Man of Steel, save yourself the energy of writing a negative review of the movie because you'll hate this as well. DC movies obviously aren't for you.
