Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
6/10
Mildly interesting and entertaining film.
If film makers were bold enough to change Superman's character into something unfamiliar to us -- as was inferred through one of Batman's dreams -- that Superman was a strange alien, acting like a capricious greek god... than I think this could have been a great film.
But of course, that wasn't the case. This was merely the first entry of many DC comic superhero films to star the Superman, Batman, etc, whom we already know well.
Of course, I'd assume, who ever owns the copyright of Superman would not allow his character portrayal to be significantly different, even for one film. Too bad.
The film was 2.5 hours. I think if the director had kept Superman's character a complete mystery, and instead told the story exclusively from Batman's skewed view of him, until the final battle, I think this may have been a very good film.
Also, as many may have opined, the film ended with the superhero's battling a late entry creature, alongside a third superhero. I found it disjointing and belaboring to the film and story.
There's a 3.5 hour version that's said to be play more smoothly. If you're going to watch one, and have the time, go with the 3.5.
