Movie Rating: Karine Weinberger

18 months after the titanic battle between Superman and Zod that devastated Metropolis, the city is trying to come to terms with him. Considered a demigod by some, Superman arouses fear in others, to the point of a Senate commission being ordered to determine what role he should play in the world. Convinced he is a potential enemy capable of leading mankind to destruction, Bruce Wayne aka Batman is determined to stop him at any price. Meanwhile, billionaire Lex Luthor takes advantage of the growing hatred between the two super-hero and starts his own war ...

Grandiose and operatic, Man of Steel revived the Superman franchise in 2013. Heavy and hollow, Batman v Superman kills it again.

Somehow, Snyder’s flamboyant staging fails to add soul to the story. As a result, it seems like one big, noisy Warner trailer, developed only to counter the lightness of the Avengers...

Jup... ein guter Film. Sehr düster, sehr stimmig. Jesse Eisenberg ist cool als Lex. Ben Affleck ist in Ordnung als Batman. Das Beste ist das es ein sehr Comicstyleischer Batman ist... sein Anzug sieht cool aus und funktioniert. Und anders als bei Nohlan's Batman wissen wir nicht wie er funktioniert, da die seriösität des Films nicht bis in die Metaebene durchgezogen wird und es so eine stylistsch gute Comicverfilmung bleibt.
