Spoilers Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
A couple of things:
I didn't particularly like Eisenberg's (or whomever's) choice for Lex. I expected a Lex like Eisenberg gave us in "The Social Network" rather than someone with obvious problems. That puts me about neutral for Eisenberg's portrayal. I strongly disliked Kevin Spacy's portrayal. I disliked Gene Hackman's portrayal. I liked Micheal Rosenbaum's portrayal.
I didn't particularly like the overall score of the movie. I liked the individual themes but the whole thing didn't mesh very well.
Other than that, I liked the movie very much. I haven't watched it again, but I think it has immense rewatchability. It didn't feel long. I will be getting the extended edition if there is one.
I had kept myself relatively spoiler free, however I knew from the previews that long haired Lex was creating a Kryptonian based monster to fight Superman, so I knew they might go the route of "Death of Superman". When Lex called him Superman's "doomsday" I knew what was going to happen.
I loved Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. I think Ben Affleck is by far and away the best Batman. I think he is the best Bruce Wayne too, but it is a closer race.
I enjoyed Man of Steel too and like Henry Cavill as Superman. I liked him in this movie too.

The article on BirthMoviesDeath said that those were literally the only jokes in the movie. I don't go there often, but I thought they were one site that was usually pretty trusworth when it came to this kind of stuff.
Personally, I respect him for recognizing his limitations and not doing something he knew wouldn't work. But I'm one of the few people who enjoyed the Green Hornet movie, so I might be more forgiving since I was still happy with the end result.
I kind of want to see it in theaters again too. But money's tight for me right now. I'll just wait for the extended cut.
Same. I may go to a cheap matinee show next week, I went to see it this past week in a dine-in theater (the higher-end one with recliner-like seats) and in 3D. I usually do the dine-in theaters simply for the more comfortable and spacious seating (also assigned seating); though I don't usually do the higher-end version; I was either way on 3D. I only did this because it was the time that worked for me. I'll probably see it again next week at a regular, cheap, matinee showing. I may have some rewards points on my card that'll get me a free ticket too.
I want to see how it hold up on repeat viewings or if seeing it a second time it'll click differently.
I just really, really, don't like how they're doing Superman. He's too glum and uninspiring and doesn't really seem to be trying to do much to motivate people to be good and I really, really, could have done without the (biblical) savior/Jesus imagery. As I've said, I get Batman being glum and grim but not Superman. And these Snyder movies haven't done Superman right for me, though I think Man of Steel was a bit closer as there were some good "Superman moments" in it, but it still didn't feel quite there especially during the big battles.
Strange spending money on something just to "try" to enjoy it more instead of leaving well enough alone.
It's easier to spend money than time, the older you get, and the more money you have.
Waiting ten years for a new show to play out ten seasons one episode at a time, and months between seasons, or rush through a full series in a couple weeks, then rinse and repeat.
Hands up if you'd be amazed to still be alive in 2026?

The Wonder Woman theme is on YouTube.
^ That's Affleck and yes, he fits the part.
A massive second weekend drop-off is never a good thing. Ang Lee's Hulk was considered a big hit for its first weekend.
