Dunno about the critics, but it was great! Can't beat the DC superheros!
pure and utter crap...the absolutely worst Lex Luthor imaginable. The story was...there was a story?
Great fun movie
I don't understand the flack this film is getting, it's not going to win any Oscars but it is no worse than many other super hero films. The CGI was a bit much in the scenes with Doomsday and the dream sequences felt a little forced but but other than that I can't find any major faults. I think the darker tone of this cinematic universe is good as it allows it to differ from Marvel's and gives us two different sets of movies rather than both following the same blue print.
Better than most cartoony Marvel movies!
This is a comic book movie about superhero's, it is exactly what it is meant to be. Not sure what the complaints are about!
I saw it in 3D and the 3D was great.
It was really awesome but I liked Christian Bale better as batman
Could have been better. Lex Luther isn't supposed to be psychotic. The bad guys with the guns surrounding Batman seemed to be waiting their turn to have a go at him instead of shooting him or attacking him together, just STRANGE. Wonder Woman seems to be able to withstand Doom's attack but Superman gets pounded. Who knew a shield and lasso were better to withstand the monster than the man of steel himself. Ben Affleck is a poor actor; stranger is Jeremy Irons as Alfred! At the end of the movie Man of Steel, Superman was praised for saving mankind. Even the General had warmed to him but in this movie, it is twisted so that he is to blame for the deaths of civilians. Nothing really makes any sense.
D.C. blows it again. Get some good directors and writers.
B.M. is not even close to S.M in the battle, if you expect to see something like a good fight, then you will be dispointed.
I am baffled about some of the reviews for this movie. It's almost like the wanna pile the negative crappie on just because they can. This batman Is broken and has started to take his vigilante justice too far. and you can see that in the movie. Superman on the other hand is conflicted whether he is actually making things better. The movie actually has a story unlike the last avenger movies. I think those negative reviews are from people that are frustrated that they had to think. Instead of being lead like a child from one mindless action scene to another. Batman does ultimately see the error in his ways and vows to correct it. Awesome move. I am going to see it again and will buy it on Blu-ray when it comes out. We'll done and acted. Let was a little to frat boy. Buy that is my only complaint.
Well done movie, but sends a terrible message about the morals of today. Batman is more than dark - he is a Donald Trump in a cape and mask, and not much better than the terrorists that he would kill in the name of Justice. Superman is the old style home spun morals - the hero that would give his life in the name of truth, justice, ect. the American way that is being put to death. A word to Wonder Woman - do not go back into hiding, but definitely do not join Donald's Justice League. ...steve - a comic book fan from way back.
I really wanted to like this movie but it was disappointing. I believe both Ben and Henry did the best they could with the characters. However, the story and production was crippling. It was fragmented and it did not flow well. There was no depth to the characters and too many plot holes to ignore. It felt like the story was whipped up just as an excuse to make the movie. Wait for it on Blu-ray, not worth watching it in theaters.
The worst comic-book movie since Man of Steel! 1/2 star only!
Boring, moody, no soul. Batman sounds like a middle aged pissed off man who wants his neighbours to turn down their music. Best part....Wonder Woman. She kicks ass!
Disappointing and at times boring. Left feeling ripped off, not for the price of the ticket, but for the ending. Who gets a license to do that to Superman?
The movie title is justified with less than five-minute actual non-sense battle of Superman against Batman which is second to nothing as for almost three-hour movie. The cast is appealing and successful which is the deciding factor for raising 166 million at the box-office.
Awesome movie. Loved it from beginning to end. All the negative reviews are bs. This movie was actioned packed and had a decent and believable plot. Go into the movie thinking of it as a reboot of all the original batman and superman movies with some new and refreshing takes on the all the DC characters you know and love and then you'll understand and enjoy the movie better.
What a disappointment! Apparently all you need to do to stop Batman from killing Superman is have your mother's have the same first name. (Martha). Then they get to be the best of friends...What a bunch of BS!!! Stupid movie.
Action, move was a great prelude to justice league. Reinvented batman, and makes you wonder about Wonder Woman lol.
ITS AN ACTION MOVIE, THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE IS RANTING ABOUT. Other than that it SUCKED , lame and boring. It's about the ACTION.
As a fan of any of these characters, you'll come away disappointed. No one shines, all act out of character, and to top it off, Jess is Lex! I mean, seriously? What the heck has happened to all of the bad guys? Even the big scary monster at the end has already been done to death, along with the way Superman deals with it. Nothing new and so much wrong sums it up.
As enjoyable as Elektra, if not more so.
Just went and saw this movie. Don't believe and of the crappie reviews. The movie was awesome. The story very well done tying everything in. Affleck as batman was awesome. Totally enjoyed it. I am not a huge comic book buff so I enjoy all of them and this was 10x better than last avengers movie. Go see
DC is lame. Nice try though. Thanks for joining the party (finally). Marvel all the way.
It's hard to believe that these hero's of our time would fall into the trap of believing the media and go up against each other. This movie is pretty lame. Lot's of action and special effects but couldn't keep me interested. Nothing I haven't seen before. Sorry guys it's just my opinion.
Went with a friend - we both thought it was awesome. Looking forward to the next one.
DC's best since Catwoman.
Forgot to assign stars to my last review - dark, gritty, and exacly the things that "critics" hated but fans loved.
Everything the "critics" said was "wrong" was exacly what I wanted to see - dark, gritty, violent, and no cheesy joking around!
BATMAN IS COOL AND AWESOME
This movie is awesome.
I gave this movie a rating of 5 because of the action!!! that is what everyone is loving so much about it. Other than that it was boring and had no plot!
Drawn out, somewhat boring.
Awesome movie
Don't listen to the critics! This movie is awesome! Really cool to see all these heroes on screen! Ben Afleck is amazing as batman!
If there was a negative possibility I would've put that in, wow, when people razed Ben for playing batman, they're right! Not the choice, ever, sorry Ben, but no no no, just keep Christian Bale he's batman yup all the way. Plot, there was none! omg, waste of time!!
My only major complaint is Lex Luthor! Could have been played by the same actor, that's OK, but why was he trying to be like The Joker? Lex is supposed to be cool calm and calculated. Otherwise yay. Thanks for not destroying a whole city. Oh and why is Gotham literally within anyone's eyesight of Metropolis???? Sups could have been protecting that city all this time too.
This is one of the best, if not the best, superhero movie I've seen to date. It actually had a story to it, not just a bunch of explosions and mindless battles, and it was very dark, as any Batman movie should be. I guess the professional critics prefer corny jokes and endless explosions 'cause they are way off on their reviews of this excellent movie.
should have been better
Great movie. The only superheroes that truly matter finally get their well deserved screen time together. To see the trinity on the big screen was awesome, and the Batman we all deserve is here at last.
This was disappointing. It had some good action but we really didn't need to waste so much time on the death of Bruce Wayne's parents.
This would have been an awesome stand-alone Batman film. Unfortunately, it's a total let down as a direct sequel to man of steel. The plot is uninspired. The main characters are bland and emotionless. The story structure is imbalanced and the pacing is painfully slow. Ben Aflack is the best part in this picture. His angst as a seasoned crime fighter is palpable and emotional. He's truly the gold nugget in the story. Henry Cavil looks fantastic in the part, unfortunately he wasn't given a great screenplay to work from. Zack Synder and writers didn't have a focused concept to wrap their idea around; making the experience feel contrived and unispired. Too bad, it's a missed importunity to produce something extraordinary for viewers around the world.
I remember sitting in the movie theater watching the trailer to this movie I remember thinking how exciting this movie is going to be when it comes out. So as I left the theater the other night I saw this little kid look up at his dad with disappointment in his eyes he said to his father, daddy that movie was sh*t. Well said kid, well said.
Blah blah blah these ratings are going down the same way as the Star Wars ratings. Everybody thinks it's the best thing out there. The trailer was deceiving.
ACTION PACKED AND LOVED IT!! BATMAN FAN! :)
I haven't seen anything like it since the last ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS movie.
This was brutal! I am a huge fan of Batman and Superman but this movie was a complete waste of my time. Ben Affleck is no Batman!
Worth watching...awesome some and visual effects. Recommended to be nominated as one of the best picture this year. Stunning film...Ben is great as Batman, Henry the new generation Superman. Go see it...worth your bucks! ??
