Finished watching Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice directed by Zack Snyder and staring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon, Amy Adams, Holly Hunter, Jessie Eisenberg and Gal Gadot. The film opens up with a depiction of Batman's (Ben Affleck) origins and showing the fight between Superman (Henry Cavill) and Zod (Michael Shannon) from his prospective. The film then jumps to eighteen months later where reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams) is over seas for an article when she is captured only to be saved by Superman who is now in a relationship with her, only for Superman to become a topic of controversy when Senator June Finch (Holly Hunter) wants to bring him to trial to be questioned about his actions and the effects they have on the worlds population. Meanwhile at the headquarters of LexCorp CEO Lex Luthor (Jessie Eisenberg) is developing weapons to combat Superman after finding a large chunk of Kryptonite in the Indian Ocean where one of Zod's terraforming machines were which sparks the attention of the American government, Bruce Wayne and the mysterious Diana Prince (Gal Gadot). Overall this was a good film as it feels like a glorified version of a comic book crossover thanks to how the film constantly cuts between the stories centring around Batman and Superman as each intertwine with one another and come to the same point on several occasions and during the final part of the film. Stylistically this is a great film as the action is astonishing from Wonder Woman's fighting style against Doomsday to Batman's action scenes which appear to have been ripped straight out of a video game. The character interactions are good from the interesting relationship that Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince forge during the course of the film to how Lex Luthor try's to and successfully manipulates people which makes him a force to be reckoned with. What lets the film down is the post apocalyptic scene as well as the convenience of Lex Luthor keeping tabs on the future Justice League feels a little shoehorned in to help to establish the characters and the stakes of the future Justice League film. 7/10.
