Is one of the most anticipated movies of the year "Batman vs Superman:
Dawn of Justice," worth your time? Here's what critics are saying.
"Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice" is unarguably one of the most anticipated movies of the year 2016, and it's set to hit Nigeria cinemas this Thursday, March 24, 2017.
Is
one of the most anticipated films of the year worth your time and
money? Here's what critics are saying about the movie which features a
fight between Batman and Superman.
"Superhero movies
are now like websites with too many pop-up ads, clogging the running
time with teases for future films that won't be fun either." - Metro
"As
superhero spectacles go, Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of
Justice is a grand one, with a mondo-operatic climax and a final shot
infused with quivering, exhilarating molecules of grace. It's also not
much fun." - Time Magazine.
"Snyder, juiced up by Hans Zimmer's caffeinated score, throws everything at the screen until resistance is futile." - Rolling Stone.
"If
Justice, with its sluggish script, isn't quite the jaw-dropping
eye-popper it should be, that's okay. The cast is unimpeachable." - People Magazine.
"It
just wears you down and wears you out, making you wonder if there was
ever such a thing as a hero anyway. Let them pummel each other if they
must; just leave us out of it." - GQ Magazine UK.
"It
hurtles not with the kinetic momentum of Mad Max: Fury Road nor the
comparatively spry skip of a Marvel movie, but with an operatic grandeur
it sometimes earns and often doesn't." - Associated Press.
"Constantly
threatening to collapse from self-seriousness, this epic has way too
much of everything, including CGI and Oscar winners up the wazoo." - New York Post.
"[T]he
follow-up to The Dark Knight that many viewers and fans wanted or hoped
for... [V]isually stunning, with powerful emotional storytelling and
awe-inspiring action spectacle." - Forbes.
"And
what of the title's promised skirmish? That face-off between two comics
legends becomes but one in a series of big things bashing into other
big things, which is what Snyder and writers Chris Terrio and David S.
Goyer mistake for storytelling." - The Wrap.
"BvS
will please those either waiting for the two main players to lock horns
on a movie screen, or those who've just been pining for Wonder Woman
forever." -USA Today."
"As
a pure visual spectacle, however, Batman V Superman ably blows the
hinges off the multiplex doors, and editor David Brenner does excellent
work to comprehensibly streamline the chaos, capably captured by d.p.
Larry Fong." Variety.
"It's
another numbing smash-and-bash orgy of CGI mayhem with an ending that
leaves the door open wide enough to justify the next 10 installments. Is
it too late to demand a rematch?" - Entertainment Weekly.
"As its title implies, "Batman v Superman" plays like a mashup of things we've seen before." - Indiwire.
"The film may be imposing, but it's not fun." - Hollywood Reporter.
