The slugfest between the two big guys is engaging but never exhilarating, and then it quickly segues into a longer, seemingly never-ending battle with an entirely CGI villain that reminded me of the big blob that Ryan Reynolds had to fight in Green Lantern.

Supermen may need a bit of it all, but science, faith or fairy tale, nothing can rescue this one. – See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/batman-vs-superman-dawn-of-justice-movie-review-one-and-half-stars/#sthash.3GrxczT2.dpuf

Here’s a film that’ll leave both fans and casual moviegoers unsatisfied. And since it isn’t breaking any new ground story-wise, this is quite unforgivable, considering especially the excellent work Marvel is doing.

Irons and Affleck are the best reasons to catch this film. God knows it isn’t Cavill’s fault. I’d say don’t miss the beginning and don’t miss the end. Everything in between is fair game. Your move!

Batman vs Superman is a thrilling tale of a rivalry between the two superheroes, trapped in justifying their heroic deeds. Their face-off battle is exceptional with a justified storyline but lacks a powerful impact. I hate to say this but I was disappointed with the movie.

All in all despite the immense hype and publicity, BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE is strictly worth just a onetime watch for the true die hard fans. While Batman and Superman fans might find a few scenes likeable, there is an overpowering sense of wanting more.

Overall, this superhero film is a mediocre fare, which disappoints and will neither appeal to kids, nor adults.

What proves to be kryptonite is the editing and the senseless direction.

But it’s a superhero flick and if you’re even remotely interested in the comics, you’ll criticise and enjoy it all the same. Hell, it’s the Caped Crusader and the Man of Steel going at each other. It’s entertaining, but you’ll be left wondering if this could have been executed with a little more finesse and a lot less melodrama.
