Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Reviews

Movie Reviews

• very long, very brooding, often exhilarating and sometimes scattered epic succeeds

  by Andrew Barker [Variety ]

• this epic has way too much of everything, including CGI and Oscar winners up the wazoo

  by Lou Lumenick [New York Post ]

• there's a gravitas here that even the staleist of comic book tropes can't diminish...The effects aren't bad, either

  by Steven Rea [Philadelphia Inquirer ]

• there are moments that make the whole enterprise worthwhile, and introduces an intriguing new Batman. But it's also cluttered and narratively wonky; a few jokes wouldn't have gone amiss, either

  by Nick De Semlyen [Empire Online ]

• better than Man of Steel but below the high bar set by Nolan's Dark Knight, Dawn of Justice is still a colossus, the stuff that DC Comics dreams are made of for that kid in all of us who yearns to see Batman and Superman suit up and go in for the kill

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• all in all, job done, just about

  by Andrew Pulver [The Guardian ]

• a quasi-epic without a thimbleful of wit, style or rooting interest in either of its leads

  by Colin Covert [Minneapolis Star Tribune ]

• a joyless slog

  by Soren Anderson [Seattle Times ]

• "Batman v Superman" plays like a mashup of things we've seen before.
