Tecnicinismo Let me start by saying that I tought that Man Of Steel was actually a pretty good movie. I'm all into the Christian imagery and the Superman-Jesus parallel concept. I believe that was "smart" if I dare to say the word.But oh boy, do they miss the mark with this one. Let's start with the good stuff or at least, the "tollerable". Ben Affleck as Batman is OK-ish, but then again, the writers had like 10 min or so to develop his character so lets shoe in the same old rehersal story of him loosing his parents, but let's make it in slow motion so it looks dramatic even tought we'd seen this story a thousand times. Screw interesting character development, maybe people don't know who Batman is, right? From here it just goes downhill in the worst way possible. Lex Luthor is just a Joker copy-paste and not a good one, in short, he's like Jim Carrey playing the Riddle, except he's Jesse Eisenberg. Everything he does on screen is dumb, but everything he does off screen is genius. And by the end of the film you're just left there wondering how he did everything but it doesn't matter because he makes Christian analogy, so it must be good, right? We'll review his "plan" later, I put it in bunny ears because all of it is off screen because we must have a reason for Batman wanting to punch Superman in the face. So Batman is (justifiable) angry with Superman because he destroyed a whole city district while trying to save the world. That's okay, I hope we explore deeply the inner conflict with all the people who lost their house, jobs and families in Metropolis, maybe an insurrection perhaps?. Oh no, there's a guy in a Wheelchair... Oh and an african lady who is scared of Superman... I guess... that's all the consequences there is for unsupervised godlike power. But don't worry guys, we just handcuffed Superman and we will put him on TRIAL so we can hear him say he's sorry. Not for long because the whole court blew up. How? We don't know, but it must have been Lex Luthor because he said a pee joke to the judge. Meanwhile Batman is killing people with guns in a scene that's factually kinda cool. Because turns out that Lex Luthor is doing shady stuff. We'll go to a party to steal all his information. Because conveniently, Luthor has his super computer in his party summer house... behind a glass door... without a key... with no guards.... with a convenient usb port so you can steal the whole hard drive or what have you... You can also get away with it by saying you tought it was the Bathroom too.Moments like what I described are all over the movie, and they're so many because on top this movie is painfully long, and yet it seems like nothing happens or makes sense whatsoever. Flash appears trough a portal and he's yelling something that will matter in Justice League I guess, Batman has a dream where Superman is evil and some bug minion things are flying, wonder woman joins the fight against a poorly made CGI monster which is the biological son of Lex Luthor and General Zod from the last movie. Then Superman dies, like Jesus Christ, get it? But don't be scared, Justice League is released after Suicide Squad.Pathetic, insulting, idiotic and completely boring.

jamesedge-94231 I have never written a review on here before but after my third viewing of this i had to.First, it is not perfect. The pacing is too slow for my liking, Lex Luthor is infuriating & this version of Doomsday was wasted.However, there is a lot to like here. This is a visually stunning movie at times. I loved the armoured batsuit and the whole fight scene. Also, the warehouse scene is the best live action batman combat we've ever had.Lex's plan gets a lot of hatred, but each time i watch this i notice something else about it. Its a great, Lex Luthor plan. It's just a shame the portrayl of Luthor overshadows it.It's not the type of superhero movies people expected or maybe wantes, but that isn't what snyder set out to do. It's just sad that we'll never see all of what he had planned for the DCEU but hopefully with Aquaman and Shazam! Better things are coming.Possibly not the movie we deserved, but a damn good one.

mjjmacs 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.

terresogno First of all my english is very bad so, please, forgive my mistakes. It's strange, it's not a movie that copies a graphic novel like 300 or Sin City. It's a comics language translated to a movie and still is cinematography. The themes come from superhero like Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Return like the infleunce of media on our perceptions about good and evil. The way a stranger is viewed with fear. It has a fragmentary approach like comics, like a puzzle and only at the end you have all pieces to understand so you must have patience to rebuild the story.It is much more interesting than a simple comicbook movie. Maybe it's the real missing link between comics and movies and the same between blockbuster and auteur films. Where Nolan's Dark Knight try remove every comics-book aspect Snyder pushes everything into that languege seriously. It's another way to see.Well, very very well
