The loss of life and collateral damage left many feeling angry and helpless, including crime-fighting billionaire Bruce Wayne.

Critics Consensus

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice smothers a potentially powerful story -- and some of America's most iconic superheroes -- in a grim whirlwind of effects-driven action.

Let's not make any bones about it - on any scale, Dawn of Justice is painful to watch.

It is without question an important film today, and a quintessential product of the America we inhabit.

There is much to claw through here, so much so that the audience might easily find themselves exhausted from the overall aggression of the film. However, a lot of the story does work. The action is good, and the emotion feels real most of the time.

There’s real thematic meat here...but then Doomsday arrives and...it regresses into a repeat of the overblown finale of Man of Steel.

With a well-painted influence from the Man of Steel’s darkened hues and dramatic imaging, Batman v Superman is a very naturalistic story with a somber script.

C-

The film was written by both Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, and their jarring duality is very present.

I think this movie is ok but I have something that I also loved and hate on here of course Ben affleck was fantastic as Batman, He’s portrayal and also Henry Cavill was good as Superman, the special effects are awesome, the fights are fantastic and Doomsday was great but the 1st half of this movie was rushed because it explains the situation that happened at the end of man of steel and Superman gets in court, about the worst part about this movie which is lex luthor I think that Jessie Eisenberg is a good actor but as Lex Luthor it just didn’t work at all because he was awful in this movie and we don’t know why Batman is killing people but of course I love the warehouse fight which to me is the best Batman fight but Batman just kills people now but I will still recommend it even if is a bit of a mess.

I thought this was a great film that stuck to the gritty, dark atmosphere of DC comics.

A literal Parody of Superman and Batman, this movie was a Slap to the iconic legacy of DC, the portrayal of Superman is so bad, the Court scene was Awful and Batman isn't any better he is literally killing thugs and using machine guns, batman would never use guns.
