"Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice" This should be a great film. Heck, it probably wanted to be, but the butchered script and incoherent mess of a tale that is inside of it prevented it from actually being a good film.
Ages after the destruction of Metropolis in 'Man of Steel', which is being directly addressed here, this is actually one good front for the film as one of the biggest issues that people had with the last film was the overly loud amounts of violence that had occurred, Batman (played by Ben Affleck) is out to get Superman after his destructive rampage on the city that killed many innocents.
Okay, this is the motivation that Batman has for fighting Superman. But what is Superman's reasoning? He thinks that Batman is a vigilante. But Superman is also one. He answers to no high authority either, at least, not in this or the last film. Huh? So, the main reason for the actual fight in this film makes no sense. That's a good start.
Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Played by Gal Gadot) is also on the scene, she is trying to steal some interesting equipment that holds info on Superman and even begins looking into Lex Luthor. This sub-plot is given very little screen-time and might as well have just been throw in at the last moment when the script was written. There are sop many other plots and ideas running around in this film that it makes this slightly important one look even more pointless. The inclusion of WW is more than enough and I can't see why they need to involve her in the convolution that is this movie.
Lex Luthor (Played horrendously by Jessie Eisenburg) is getting up to his wacky adventures and proves that this casting choice was the worst idea since George Clooney as Batman in "Batman and Robin". His delivery is OTT and the dialogue is overly annoying and far too cartoony. His motivations even make no sense, he wants Superman and Batman dead because their superheroes and yet he goes and makes one later on. He tries to get Superman killed, but he puts him up against Batman for.... reasons. No solid explanations are given for what he wants to achieve and his hypocrisy is beyond agitating.
Jeremy Irons as Alfred is actually a pretty darn good casting choice and his speeches and big moments are the highlights of the film, but he isn't given a whole lot to work with. No wonder he was displeased with how the film came out.
Lois Lane does..... nothing worth talking about. She tries to prove that Luthor is the bad guy, but we all know that he is from the moment he steps on screen. She just gets captured a lot and.... that's it.
Every other character is either pointless or forgettable throughout the movie and that show just how poorly thought this whole project was.
Batman and Superman only actually fight for about 5 minutes and it's an okay fight, but it could've been so much better. The final fight with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman up against Doomsday is actually an okay fight, but WW is the highlight of the fight and Gal Gadot proves that she can kick some ass in the costume. The plot and motivations of the characters are slapdash and make no sense. Superman is a broody idiot throughout and acts like nothing that is remotely in keeping with the character. He lets all innocent people die around him, despite that being the focal point of the last film. He blows more things up than Batman and his hypocrisy rivals that of Luthor.
The WW theme song is awesome, but that's the only music that I liked. Gal shows promise as the eponymous heroine and I look forward to Wonder Woman next year than I ever did this film and I hope it has an easy plot and story. Ben Affleck is actually really cool as Batman, but he is just a broody jerk throughout, not given anything worth getting into. Henry Cavill looks bored beyond belief in every scene he is in, a real step down from his performance in 'Man of Steel', which was mediocre at best.
Overall, a real mess that has to be seen to be believed.
