BATMAN V SUPERMAN:
DAWN OF JUSTICE(2016)
First things first, while I didn't particularly care for this movie
mainly because of its darkness, this is a must watch!! For this
is a lead in to the new JLA movie that's being produced!!!
Ok, so here we go! This tries to give a beginning to the lore of
Batman and Superman's partnership together! Problem, this is
a horrible mish mash, with it jumping around all over the place!!
Not only that, but this is, if it's possible, the darkest DC movie ever
created!! Again, it's DC trying to be Marvel, and I don't like it at all!!
It's all based around Lex Luthor trying to pit Batman against Supeman,
using Lois, then Superman's mother, for what purpose, unknown,
and unexplained!! I did not enjoy this at all, and had to really force
myself to watch the whole thing!!!
If you've read the comics about Doomsday, this is that story AGAIN
being rehashed in AGAIN a different light!!
Maybe one of the most distracting parts of this is the car,
tha Batmoblie!! It's butt ugly, second worst in all of Batman
lore!!!
The only bright spots for me was a cameo by Aquaman, Flash, &
Green Arrow, and Wonder Woman showing up to help out, and
an indication of the upcoming JLA movie! B-

From IMDb.com:
While this movie was much anticipated and had the potential for
a good movie, it fell short. There really was not a consistent plot
line. It seemed that they just tried to get too much into one movie.
We pretty much know the background of Batman and Superman,
so those sequences did little more than disrupt the flow of the movie.
Some background on Wonder Woman might have been more useful.
There were just too many characters and too many sub plots to have
a movie with any character development or plot continuity. I am
surprised that they did not send Aquaman in to save Lois Lane in
the drowning scene. With the scope they tried to cover, this should
have been a 2 part or trilogy event. - jsaus63304
