Synopsis

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

    “The world only makes sense if you force it to.” A movie that intentionally or not genuinely follows through on the inherent ugliness and fascism of Batman and the complicated moral relationship between the American image (Superman) and the horrifying actions around the globe committed by the state. Snyder takes his genre deconstructionist interest in the ethics of power and the mythic, Godlike alienation of the superhuman and deforms them even further with political violence and corporate privatization; placing two American icons into an unpleasant, expressionist, cartoon nightmare world brought on us by the country’s institutional corruption and disastrous foreign policy. One of the most strange and sadistic and as a result honest depictions of what American superheroism would look like. Superman destroys a drone, Batman quotes Dick Cheney. Of course people hated this. (First review.)

    I’ve been complaining for years that Batman doesn’t spend enough time shooting people to death, torturing them with red-hot bat symbols, and making bush-league intellectual mistakes. Thank goodness Zack Snyder finally made a movie for me! Snark aside… My actual review over at Verge gets into how the film is built entirely around reacting to, and trying to combat, the reactions to Man Of Steel.

    DO YOU BLEED??????? [whispers in baby soft voice after Superman flies away] “you will.” uguuhhhhhhghghgh …i kinda liked it. at least until the fighting starts, and it becomes a three ring circus of shit. the first half of this movie shows the best of what superhero movies could be, while the second half swan dives into the worst of what they so consistently are. the rare superhero movie that even *attempts* to drum up real stakes, Snyder manages to get out of his own way long enough to frame a relatively interesting moral conflict re: Superman’s place on earth, and its attendant logistics… his relationship with Lois is underserved, and everything between Bruce Wayne & Scoot McNairy is disastrous, but the…

    it is honestly so hysterical to me that the entire movie is just batman and superman having an almighty pissing contest while wonder woman was minding her business the WHOLE TIME and at the end they’ve made a gigantic mess JUST because they don’t like each other and everything is absolutely fucked and she finally has to step in like “OH For Fuck’s Sake. These Fuckin’ Dudes. Really guys? Seriously bros? Honestly Boys?” but she ZOOPS in anyways and helps their collective toddler asses Boy oh boy that’s good

    Had this playing on TV in the background while I did some chores. The cinephile community occasionally flirts with the idea that Zack Snyder might be a misunderstood visionary artist, and the truth is that he is not.

    “The american conscience died with Robert, Martin & John.” Huh… So this is a weird one. To me, Zack Snyder is a strange but interesting choice to adapt traditional comicbook superheroes because hearing him talk about them you’d think he worshipped at their alter but watching what he actually does with them on screen you’d think he absolutely hates them & everything they stand for. In adapting Alan Moore’s seminal graphic novel Watchmen, which deconstructed the very idea of costumed heroes (featuring allusions to Superman and Batman in the ultimate power of the distant & sad Dr. Manhattan and the brutal quest for “justice” of the psychotic & vicious Rorschach), Snyder found an interesting outlet for his fascination with violence and the cost/meaning of…

    Batman and Superman stop fighting because they both realize their moms are named Martha. That actually happens in this movie.

    Maybe they shouldn’t have made this after Man of Steel, ’cause we needed a Batfleck movie first. Also, Wonder Woman also shows up in this movie as her first appearance… before her own damn movie… yeah, the DCEU was built up wrongly. So, I first watched this when I got into DC movies, and I was little then, so I didn’t think much of it. But rewatching this a few years later and… yeah, it’s flawed. Obviously, there are a…

    What a wasted potential of Ben Affleck. Snyder could’ve made a solo batman movie before this mixed junk.

    Rush rush rush. Slop slop. That’s most of this movie. Second movie in the universe and we already have the two faces of DC fighting. Batman who we don’t know with no solo introduction movie. Shows up. Has some bullshit 3 minute origin story. Then we’re off. Switching back and forth between Superman and Batman. Batman believes Superman thinks he’s above the law. And vice versa. Each wants to stop the other from brutal justice or chaos. Superman gets framed…

    Me la esperaba mucho peor la verdad, creo que es un poco baja la nota. Me gustaría darle más pero la noto más como una introducción a la posterior peli de La liga de la Justicia no se. Como es la primera peli del batman de Ben Affleck siento que se podrían haber enfocado un poquiiiito más en sus inicios y porque hace lo que hace. Nada, solo 30 minutos más sobre eso me habría cundido muchísimo aunque supongo que…

    It was exactly like the Batman v Superman scene in Teen Titans Go! To the movies but with a couple hours of extra footage. Actually a really good movie though and as far as Snyder goes this is probably my favorite DC movie of his

    ok, so this movie is not nearly as bad as people say. i watched the ultimate edition so that might help a little but seriously it’s not that bad. it is overhated. lex luthor’s plan is seriously not that stupid. does it require a lot of mcguffins to work? yes. that makes it improbable, not stupid. using the kryptonite to gain control of the ship, making bruce wayne aware of it and knowing that there is a huge piece of…

    I’m sure the DC heads loved all the breadcrumbs but overall this was just a mess. Also, way too long. Not even a Boston guy could save this for me. 2.5 stars.

    This film really sums up what it’s like to be a DC fan. There is a flash of greatness for every flash of mediocrity, a scene of a character that feels right out of a comic page, and a scene that really just butchers everything a character is meant to be. And the best part is you can tell how desperately this film/universe wanted to combat the MCU and it clearly never stood a chance. I think if…

    the epitome of desperation for DC’s dead film universe, it’s clear from the get go that the only reason this movie exists was to try and compete with Marvel’s Civil War cringey deliveries at any point, awful attempts at being interesting and a laughable resolution to the conflict between Supes and Batsy
