*walk out of cinema in a disappointing mood* .... They Fucked it up...
*sigh* Its been over 2 in a half hours and... I cannot believe how disappointing it is after a week that ignored all the critics of love and hate...
Anyway, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is a 2016 superheroes that was directed by Zack Snyder, produced by Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder and written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer. This is one is the most anticipating film for DC fans like me. Its been a long years that we want to see two famous heroes in a big brawl. Well, kinda, mainly because there's The Dark knight returns part that it has a battle between them. Not to mention, it also has more characters in the movie, not only Batman, but also Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Aquaman, The Flash, Cyborg and Doomsday. Which i like to see them all when i was waiting.
So, can this movie will be a greatest DC universe movie, or this movie will be suffered by Kryptonite?
Lets find out.
The story
In 18 months after Man of Steel, Superman became a hero of Metropolis. And by that, i mean he has nothing but problem that he almost kill everybody since he fought General Zod. Meanwhile Ben Afleck-- i mean, Bruce Wayne is starting his career as Batman in Gotham City, not before he was looking at Superman as his target, because he thinks he's a bad hero. Meanwhile (again), a 20 year old(?) Lex Luthor became a millionaire to introducing his corporation after he found a Kryptonite. Not before he meets an unknown antiques dealer Diana Prince for some reason. Not before she stole Bruce's scanner and... take it back to him. Later on, Batman was trying to steal a Kryptonite from Luthor, but it was too late because Superman blocked his way. Then later at dark night, Batman was suited up with titanium armor to fight Superman, but not before they heard that Superman's mother was capture, because Luthor wants Kal-El to kill Batman.
To me, the story is pretty hard to tell at the beginning, it goes to a build up of a rivalry with Batman and Superman, but then it goes to a sub-plot where Lois Lane found some sort of bullet that she found that has nothing to do with the main plot. I asked a lot of question at plenty of stuff that has in the plot, but most of them are just a filler for no reason.
But the ending... Where do i begin? After a battle of Batman and Superman, they just stop for a warning reason that Superman tells Batman that he has to rescue Martha Kent from Luthor and Superman is going to fight his main nemesis, but not before Lex created one of Kal-El's dangerous enemy, Doomsday. Which i though the battle of Doomsday is gonna be in the second act of the movie, but its in the final act. Which it has an great fight. But it has a problem, you where Superman was knelled whenever he noticed a Kryptonite? But here, the movie decided to change the rules that he bring a Kryptonite spear to kill Doomsday, but not before he was also killed by Doomsday. Then after a funeral, Batman is confronting at Lex Luthor for a vengeance reason in the prison and walked away like nothing happened.
Yeah, you probably noticed that the movie is like what if you bring "The Dark Knight returns" and "The death of Superman" in the blender. Well, some part was loosely, you see, in "The Dark Knight returns", Bruce returned as Batman with an age of 55 to not only beating bad guys, but also fighting at the authority before he fight Superman before his death with a heart failure. But here, Bruce is like 30 year old while wearing an titanium armor while fighting against Superman.
The story itself is pretty complicated to follow, it barely called "The story", which its just nothing but confusing...
The production
Despite the lack-luster of the story, the production work is well done with over $250 million of budget. If has a great effect in this movie during the action. Some timessome part is not easy to tell whats going on like during the even of Man of Steal, its almost like a deleted scene, but taken in the theater. Speaking of deleted scene, Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl) was attented to be in the movie, but it never happen until the DVD and Blu-Ray release. Not to mention, you can see Zod's body in the movie that i think he was supposed to be on Lex Luthor's plan. He was originally that Michael Shannon will be in the movie, but he was never accepted, so they bring Greg Plitt to look like Zod, but not before he died when he got ran over by a train in 2015. Ouch... ^^;
For the costumes, they look great. For Superman's outfit, its looks interesting. And yes, i am aware that costume was based on The New 52. As for Batman, its just... Well, Batman. Its nothing else to say. But i like his armor suit, it looks pretty damn cool. And for Wonder Woman, its looks great, her outfit feels like she's wearing a gladiator armors (Well, almost, mainly because she was born in Greek thanks to a creation by Zeus, even though we'll wait for her own movie next year.), even though some fans missed her classic outfit like in the comic, but im ok for that. And finally for Doomsday design, when he's in the first form, i though he looks nothing like in the comic, until he evolved to his second form. I find him looks pretty damn scary. 0_0
The production of the movie was actually great when it comes to a superhero film.
The characters
Well, these characters is probably a mix...
For Kal-El/Superman/Clark Kent (played by Henry Cavill) was return after the first movie. However, its not easy to tell that he's either good or bad. I mean yeah, he's the hero of Metropolis, but he's rather lame after he nearly killed anybody which makes everyone called him a controversial hero. He would've been an interesting character, despite Henry did a good work.
Next there's Batman/Bruce Wayne (played by Ben Affleck). I know lot of people were criticized when he was announced before the movie came out. But in this movie, i think Ben did a nice work, even though he's kinda emotionless Its as if he's trying to be serious, but failed a bit... ^^; But my problem is why does he using a gun to kill people, i know he does it on purpose, but at least he has a creative gadget like he has a gun with a Kryptonite smoke. Even though Batman is good, but at least Ben had a better acting than Kristen Stewart in Twilight.
Then there's Lex Luthor (played by Jesse Eisenberg). I was expect to see Jesse in serious acting with egotistic. But unfortunately, he's probably the weakest in the movie. I know Jesse has been in a comedy films, but not for DC movie, here he's rather over the top of silliness and lame. I know this was before he became serious for his hatred of Superman, but remember, Lex was like 20 year old, i think... ^^; But i heard that in Justice League part one, he will be played by Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. Hope its gonna a good one.
Finally there's Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot). She's an interesting character. at first, i though there's no Diana Prince, until i noticed her in LexCorp. But she never appears as Wonder Woman until the final act, pretty shame... Even though i never heard of Gal Gadot, but she did an interesting job.
Even though there plenty of other characters like Lois Lane, Perry White and few others, they're either ok or boring.
Finally, there's The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg in the movie. I was expect to see them in the movie. But to bad, they're only in the small appearances until their own movies and Justice League part 1 and 2. They even include Shazaam, but meh...
And know for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, Batman V Super: Dawn of Justice is easily the most disappointing film i've ever seen. The production was great, amazing composure of Hans Zimmer and a descent acting. But its the writing, the characters and the ending that they didn't executed well. Its as if it was focus on action rather than the story with an important explanation. It was also considered a Box-office success when it comes to the anticipation. But of course it had a battle of positive and negative for the criticisms. Some people loved with a great action, but some hated, because of lack of story and a lack of characters. Personally, im a neutral, because like i said, it would've been great movie, but it didn't holds up for the writing. If you're a fan of DC with a coo action, its for you. If not, its probably lamer than Man of Steel.
My rating is 5/10.
It could've get 6/10 when it comes to an important story than an action sequence or maybe 4/10 because of plenty of action, but i decided to go with 5 out of 10. Oh well, lets hope Suicide Squad will be better than Batman V Superman.
So this ends of my review, if you have you opinion or suggestions, let me know in the comments bellow.
Thanks for reading, and im Anthony, signing out.

Corporate Driver: Good... Good...! My plan actually work to be the most disappointing film. Now i heard Suicide Squad was reshooting, lets hope this one is bad. For my money! *makes his evil laugh*
To be continued?
