It's been nearly two years since Superman's (Henry Cavill) colossal battle with Zod (Michael Shannon) devastated the city of Metropolis. The loss of life and collateral damage left many feeling angry and helpless, including crime-fighting billionaire Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck). Convinced that Superman is now a threat to humanity, Batman embarks on a personal vendetta to end his reign on Earth, while the conniving Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) launches his own crusade against the Man of Steel.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Samantha Riedel Bitch Media Let's not make any bones about it - on any scale, Dawn of Justice is painful to watch. Feb 10, 2021 Full Review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Matthew Rozsa Salon.com It is without question an important film today, and a quintessential product of the America we inhabit. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Aramide Tinubu Shadow and Act There is much to claw through here, so much so that the audience might easily find themselves exhausted from the overall aggression of the film. However, a lot of the story does work. The action is good, and the emotion feels real most of the time. Apr 12, 2017 Full Review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Tania Hussain The Hudsucker With a well-painted influence from the Man of Steel’s darkened hues and dramatic imaging, Batman v Superman is a very naturalistic story with a somber script. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brendan Cassidy InSession Film The film was written by both Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, and their jarring duality is very present. Rated: C- Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson This new franchise has chosen its mature path and they are showing the resolute fortitude to stick with it, haters be damned.

Few flaws with seeing superheroes kill bad guys and I personally dont like the casting of Lex Luthor. Asides that, the movie is really good, fun to watch, pretty good story to it. Yeah I love it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Charlie M It’s dumb fun. By no means is it very well written, but I enjoyed some action, and honestly bought the characters more than I did in Man of Steel.
