batman v superman: dawn of justice (2016). directed by zack snyder.


where do i begin...

this movie is a disaster. utterly unforgivable that in 2016 people still spend a lot of money producing crap like this. the movie suffered from lack of character development, the story is underdeveloped which is a shame because i expect better writing from the guys who write the dark knight (2008) and argo (2012), clunky direction and just terrible editing. seriously, what the hell happened?!

i think the actors did a pretty good job, some people complained that henry cavill was not charismatic as superman but the same can be said for ben affleck whose batman was reduced to grunts and anger management issues. the protagonists in the film all suffered from daddy issues - point is character development was weak i don't expect the actors can do a better job. i must say casting jesse eisenberg was not the greatest decision - he is annoying as lex luthor trying to produce the same effect that the late heath ledger did for the joker. 

my rants could go on and on. seriously people, watch this if you can't hold your curiosity of how bad it is, because it is bad. and it runs for 3 hours, of no story and mindless set pieces trying so hard to be the dark knight (2008)

update (23 nov 2016). 

upon second viewing, and lots of fast forward, there are redeeming stuff on the movie. i'm not patient because i am not a fan of the graphic novels, nor do i play the video games so some of the set pieces feel unnecessary to me though it was taken straight from the source. i actually like ben affleck as batman (i know, i only changed my mind about ben affleck as an actor a few weeks ago), i guess he's a lot more human and vulnerable compared to christian bale, who has a more clinical take to the character.
