Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Directed by Zack Snyder
Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before. From TMDB

As I write this review I have just had a thoroughly disappointing movie experience and it so just happens that I have some strong feelings about the source material for this movie so be prepared for a bit of ranting and a few more “adult” words than usual. I have to say that I bought this movie only because I felt I wanted it in my collection just for it to be complete. I was really expecting to be, shall we say, …

Zack Snyder creates an entire DC universe in one film filled with gritty new takes on familiar characters and brutal action. I know this is a polarizing thing to say, but I loved this movie! I think Zack Snyder crushed it with the incredible production design, off-the-charts casting, and gritty take on a lost and weary Batman. The casting for this movie is a master stroke of brilliance. Ben Affleck’s Batman is jaded …

I don't understand the hate people had with this film. I thought it was brilliant. Sure, I had my doubts of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, but halfway through the end those doubts were put to rest. And Ben Affleck was amazing as the latest incarnation of Batman. It was a long time since the actor did a superhero movie (Daredevil). My only critique was Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal as Lex Luthor - really cringing for me. …

If you want to see Batman the way he SHOULD be portrayed on screen then this is the movie for you. It's great to see a 'comic' adaptation tackling darker emotions and greyer morals in its heroes. Batman is a bulked-up savage brute, which I applaud, and Superman is prepared to murder to save his mother. This is the only DC movie worth umpteen rewatches.

One of the best superhero movies I've seen in quite sometime now. Action packed, along with good actors and actresses. Just an overall great movie!
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 72 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post).

Critics, per Wikipedia
The film grossed $166 million in the United States and Canada in its opening weekend, the eighth-biggest opening of all time, ahead of The Dark Knight Rises' $160.9 million. The film had a worldwide opening of $422.5 million, which stands as the second-biggest for Warner Bros. and the fourth-biggest of all time at the time of its release. It became the fourth film to have a global opening above $400 million. It also had an IMAX worldwide opening weekend total of $36 million from 945 IMAX screens, the third-biggest ever, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($48 million) and Jurassic World ($44 million).

60 of 75 · most liked firstI say this as a huge DC Comics fan, but no, it doesn't matter if this year is its 10th anniversary, Batman V Superman: Yawn of Just Nuts is NOT A Good Movie! It has decent cinematography, but the writing in the movie is ass! Z*ck Snyd*r doesn't understand DC Comics Characters at all.
negative · AI labelView post →Just saw the newest Superman movie. As someone who really enjoyed Man of Steel and Batman V Superman I can say the new movie is REALLY fun and I recommend you give it a go. Best character was by far Lex Luthor. He may not have stolen 40 cakes, but he certainly stole the movie
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching Batman V. Superman. A film that is incredibly stupid
negative · AI labelView post →If you need “film critic mode” explained, we sometimes have to watch movies multiple times over the course of our careers, and sometimes it’s only because we need to keep writing about it, or the filmmaker, or the franchise, etc. I’ve seen BATMAN V SUPERMAN at least 5-6 times. It never gets better.
negative · AI labelView post →Batman and Robin is not the worst live action Batman movie. And if you go in stoned and in the mindset that its a 90s version of the Adam West series, its awesome. The worst Batman movie is Batman V Superman..... MARTHAAAAAAA
negative · AI labelView post →I rewatched Cosmonaut Marcus's Batman V Superman video it's so fucking funny he hates this movie way more than I do and I HAAAATE it
negative · AI labelView post →Honestly while I still very much dislike this movie, I feel like I've eased up a lot in regard to Batman V Superman in recent years. Probably helps that the theatrical cut of Justice League put into perspective for me just how much worse that film could've been.
neutral · AI labelView post →BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE was released 10 years ago today. Zack Snyder’s follow-up to Man Of Steel, and the first feature film to include DC’s Big Three together, the story behind the scenes is as monstrous as Doomsday… 1/51

neutral · AI labelView post →Batman V Superman was an incredible film.
positive · AI labelView post →I don't have a favorite Affleck film (I don't particularly care for him) but I will say that Batman V Superman was perhaps the worst movie I've ever seen.
negative · AI labelView post →It’s gotta hurt so badly when the actor that said yes to Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, TWO magician heist movies, and a (Way Too) Late Period Woody Allen film says no to the sequel of one his most best-received roles.

neutral · AI labelView post →Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice is the worst movie ever made there are movies made more incompetently, but no movie has ever been made with enough money, technical film making skills, and competent actors and turned out more visually ugly, and narratively incoherence, and strangely acted

neutral · AI labelView post →I will say I think Batman V Superman was a terrible movie that got both Batman and Superman wrong. But man they were right on the money to make Lex into a VC bro
negative · AI labelView post →in hindsight Batman V Superman seems like the kind of movie about Superman that Lex Luthor would make
negative · AI labelView post →Nine years since the release of #BatmanVSuperman, possibly the most politically potent and unafraid American blockbuster made. Love that movie to bits, and its director’s voice and vision a whole lot more.
positive · AI labelView post →The funniest thing I saw at a thrift story today was one of those picture book "story of the movie!" tie-ins that use film stills for Batman V Superman. "Superman is from the planet Krypton! He can fly!" next to murder eyes Cavill hovering over billowing clouds of gray and bruise colored skies.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bram Stoker's Dracula is my favorite superhero movie of course. followed closely by Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice
positive · AI labelView post →"Worst movie you ever watched in a theater?" I think it has to be Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. The “hero cake” speech alone! And I saw Wolverine Origins in the theater. And Superman IV. And Xanadu. Not even close
negative · AI labelView post →Still wild to me that a Captain America film beat a Batman V Superman movie also Civil War is still Goated film
neutral · AI labelView post →Since its the 10 hear anniversary I'm gonna say it again. Batman V. Superman saved my life. I would be dead without having seen the film. The film that helped me push through oppressive anger and see hope. It was a whim to see it in theaters. I'm forever grateful I did.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Batman V Superman for the first time the other day. After all the legendary hate it received I was disappointed to find it's largely just an average action film and I like it better than the average MCU film. I'm sorry, I do not have it in my heart to hate Zack Snyder

The English director has been sighted rummaging through old film bins on the Warner Bros lot in hopes of finding spooky cuttings of 70mm IMAX film from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Polar Express. Hanks and Cavill to star.

positive · AI labelView post →Now watching the greatest Batman V Superman film ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →Batman V Superman: Dawn of justice (2016) was one of the worst films I saw it in theaters which is pretty bad. The worst film I saw in theaters is Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) which is terrible. When I saw Lex Luthor as Jesse Eisenberg was terrible like if Roger Rabbit, Joker & Riddler mix

Better then Man of Steel & Batman V Superman. Also yes, I’ll be watching the other version at a later date. #IrasPhysicalMedia #26
positive · AI labelView post →Between Batman V Superman, Arkham Knight, those moments in Batman the Brave & the Bold, and that entire animated movie of the comic I think I’ve had my fill of TDKR for a long while. The Dark Knight has other stories worth telling if the enthusiasm for Absolute Batman is anything to go by.
neutral · AI labelView post →Our big family outing to Batman V. Superman was way more enjoyable! My little son used to go get his own booster seat from the wall of the theater that had them. He really knew his movie theater routine.
positive · AI labelView post →To put that into perspective: After half a day (!) Spider-Man: Brand New Day had outgrossed the recent Supergirl movie. It took Spider-Man one weekend to make more money than Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice did during its entire run.
neutral · AI labelView post →Almost every story element has been mined from THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS at this point. The opening helicopter scene from BATMAN FOREVER with Two-Face, BATMAN V SUPERMAN, JOKER was an entire movie based just on the talk show scene...
neutral · AI labelView post →Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition is such a funny title for a movie
neutral · AI labelView post →the people saying Batman V Superman are insane. I went to see that movie 4 times in theaters and it just became funnier every time. genuinely the best comedy movie of 2016.
positive · AI labelView post →The only other time I remember feeling that numb watching a movie was during the big fight between Batman & Superman in Batman V. Superman, where I got to the point that I just wanted those two angry, easily-manipulated dolts to just kill each other so the movie would be over sooner.
negative · AI labelView post →Watched Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, a film that was more rendered than filmed. There were some great ideas, but the overuse of CGI resulted in the film feeling bland and lifeless. Ben Affleck made a surprisingly good Bruce Wayne, but was less convincing as Batman. youtu.be/0WWzgGyAH6Y?...
neutral · AI labelView post →LRP: A sure sign I don't like a film is that it doesn't make its way into my collection. I don't own MAN OF STEEL or BATMAN V SUPERMAN. Nope. Not under my roof, thanks.
negative · AI labelView post →So my controversial opinion is that... -parts- and -moments- of Batman V Superman, are absolutely terrific. The 'knightmare' dream sequence then irradiates the film and all memory of any good bits, and after that, the clustering of rot increases exponentially.
neutral · AI labelView post →It wasn't a bad film. Way better than Batman V Superman that's for sure
positive · AI labelView post →Saw #BatmanvSuperman: Dawn of Justice (2016): Ultimate Edition: Ten years later, time hasn't healed all those wounds the film inflicted on me in theaters, in fact, in fact it's gotten worse. My ⭐ review
negative · AI labelView post →MARCH 25TH BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE (ULTIMATE CUT, 2016) this is not a movie but a test of endurance. how long can you stay awake while absolutely nothing happens in the film for 3 hours
negative · AI labelView post →Reminds me that I did a quick-ish cartoon when I, like many or like a few, awaited the release of the Batman V Superman movie. So I made a couple of dozen or mant more cartoons, including some with Martian Manhunter:

neutral · AI labelView post →Started watching the Snyder cut of Justice League cause I was always interested in what set it apart from the movie release, and whoo boy it's basically an entirely different movie from Whedons. It actually matches more of the vibe of Man of Steel/Batman V Superman and I can dig it.
positive · AI labelView post →We go on to movies like Batman V. Superman and it's very clear that the reviews are made by ai and it completely misses the point about the film. We started joking that the reviewer are so stupid they need Kuzco to point out that the bad guy is doing a bad thing and circle it on screen.
positive · AI labelView post →this is the second time I've ever walked out of a movie after Batman V Superman and I was in my own fuckin home
negative · AI labelView post →For perspective... the last movie she critiqued? And she NEVER critiques movies! She'll watch The Rock punch things all day. It was "Batman V Superman" -- and I quote... "That movie was STUPID."
neutral · AI labelView post →Batman V Superman, Yawn of Justice. I was high as giraffe balls at a SUPERHERO MOVIE.... and I was BORED. That shouldn't even be possible!!!
negative · AI labelView post →I'd give it to "Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice" over "Rise of Skywalker" personally; the latter may genuinely be a worse movie qua movie lacking as it does the Genuine Ambition of BvS, but the former is way, *way* more tedious. Like, they're roughly the same runtime, but BvS *feels* 10x longer
negative · AI labelView post →I was going to say one of these two films I do have memories of Comin' at ya with most of the audience walking out. In the end I realize It was Batman V Superman as the worst thing. Me and my roommate spent a month bitching about that film and picking it a part.
negative · AI labelView post →Uhhh, too many choices. The Micheal Bay Transformers films, but not the first. All awful on a technical level. Batman V Superman for philosophical reasons. The Revolutionary Girl Utena movie is up there, but I may have been too stupid for it. GITS: Innocence had too little plot for its pretense...
negative · AI labelView post →In retrospect having Lex Luthor in Batman V Superman being portrait as an annoying, nevrotic, Tech Bro is probably the most ahead of its time that movie has ever been... Because I mean.... LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!
positive · AI labelView post →Supergirl was pretty good! Not sure why this is getting ragged on when it’s the best sophomore cinematic universe outing (leagues above Incredible Hulk and Batman V Superman). Almost fitting that the movie, like Kara, is a bit rough around the edges but has a really good heart to it.
