Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
A fundamentally broken movie on all regards. SPOILERS
It's all sunshine and flowers when you take a out of context situations to explain a disconnected movie. One of the major issues of this movie that some people tries to makes sense of it is the fact that Batman kills. He shoots people, he stabs people, he brands people... This Batman is such a lunatic that he even uses a SPEAR to KILL superman in cold-blood. But some people tries to make sense of this aberration, the natural explanation can be interpreted following the Alfred's dialogue: "That's how it starts, sir. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men... cruel." As the whole movie goes, the Alfred dialogue was completely cut out dry. No explanation, no continuation, no connection... Nothing. It was just a scene pasted there, wasted. It's the same excuse of people trying to defend Lex Luthor. "He was being controlled by Darkseid, blablabla". Where the movie shows any of that? If even a fan like myself and presumably most people here on this board section are fans as well... Even for a fan this movie is confusing and stupid, imagine a average moviegoer trying to watch this? Imagine a 13 years old kid watching this piece of garbage? And the public is the one to blame? The public don't understand the "complexity of Zack Snyder"? Die-hard fans clearly loves this, etc OOOhhh the fans! DC fanatics thinks that this movie has been made for them. This movie has been made to completely DEFILED and VIOLATE iconic characters.
Fans noticed the "Injustice" nod, the Crisis on Infinite Earths reference, the DKR heavy influence (with doesn't make any sense) and so on. In DKR, the motivations were clear, the world in that comic was fundamentally changed, a world dominated by totalitarianism. Batman was fighting against the system, he had all the motivations to kill people on that reality (even so, he doesn't kill). The reality of BvS is not oppressive, the world is not a hellhole, Batman has no reason to kill. In DKR, Batman was never formally accused of murdering people, the commissioner never states that he killed the thugs. In the batmobile, he shoots people with rubber bullets. He even break a gun, Batman plainly states that killing the Mutant Leader would cross a line. Joker killed himself, Batman can't bring himself to kill his arch-nemesis. The Joker even mocks him over it and then seals Batman's fate in the view of the public by twisting his own spine, killing himself in such a way that makes it look as if the Dark Knight did it. Even on a dystopian future, Batman stayed true to his core personality! Another example... The version of Batman in the Arkham game series has such a strong moral compass that he even tries to SAVE his own enemies. Snyder don't understand the character, he simply violated the crucial personality of the character. You can't just use imagery of a know comic for nothing, without the proper context, without building anything!
This is not a "thinker man" kind of film, this film is just dumb and stupid. The editing is beyond awful. And Snyder apologists can't even be serious when they tries to defend this, some even throws other professionals under the buss. Snyder is the one responsible, he is the director for Christ sake! How can you release this movie without proper explaining Batman motivations, Luthor motivations, etc? As a matter of fact, no character in this mess have any kind of motivation. It's not the editor fault, the director compelled more than 3 hours of film and you people think the editor could perform a miracle to make sense of all this? This movie is completely broken. The DC fan have to endure a hopeless Superman and a Batman who murder people. The average fan have to withstand more than 2 hours of joyless boredom to watch a cartoonish fight at the end. It doesn't appeal for any potential target audience...
Critics are being kind with this movie. Summing up: This is just visual noise with the names of "Batman" and "Superman" in the title to fool the audience. Avoid this atrocity if you can, the negative aspects easily out-weights the positives.
