Movie Review: "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"

 Movie Review: "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"

by Wilson Kosasih

Hello again guys, I'm back with review on one of the most anticipated movies this year, along side with Deadpool (Click here for review), Captain America Civil War, Suicide Squad, and many more! Without further a do, let's review this!

It has been two years since Superman/Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) battled General Zod (Michael Shannon) on Metropolis, Superman has become a controversial figure. Everywhere he goes, death comes along. And that becomes Batman/Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck)'s motive to take him down. It is not easy since Batman himself is a mere human comparing to Superman. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), the villain, forces Superman to fight Batman for his own pleasure and to resurrect Doomsday. In this "man vs god" battle, Lois Lane (Amy Adams) lies between them.

Okay, first off, the TRAILER showed too much, and there are really not that much of secrets left to show. It has a potential to be a good comic-book movie, with great action sequences, beautiful visual effects, and soundtracks are on point, Hans Zimmer has done a good job. But uncharismatic Superman and ridiculous story cause this movie to be slammed down by critics. Henry Cavill as Superman is nowhere near Christopher Reeve. From the other side, Ben Affleck as Batman is probably the best choice ever made. He's ruthless, badass, and brutal, plus Batman's Batmobile has the best design i've ever seen. And the addition of Wonder Woman/Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) is a good choice but it's too bad she was already shown in those trailers (no element of surprise).

"Tell me, do you bleed?"

"You will." 

- Batman

Wonder Woman

Moving on to it's story. It's not good enough and too simple, i mean the reason why Batman and Superman are working together is so simple, it is forced because this movie is like the prologue to DC's Justice League movie coming next year. 

Overall, for comic book fans, you have to watch this although it has a poor story beneath it.

But for those who loves watching movies, maybe you'll feel bored because it has a long duration.

As always, thanks for your support! Feel free to comment and stay tuned for another reviews!
