Storyline
Following his titanic
struggle against General Zod, Metropolis has been razed to the ground and
Superman is the most controversial figure in the world. While for many he is
still an emblem of hope, a growing number of people consider him a threat to
humanity, seeking justice for the chaos he has brought to Earth. As far as
Bruce Wayne is concerned, Superman is clearly a danger to society. He fears for
the future of the world with such a reckless power left ungoverned, and so he
dons his mask and cape to right Superman's wrongs. The rivalry between them is
furious, fueled by bitterness and vengeance, and nothing can dissuade them from
waging this war. However, a dark new threat arises in the form of a third man:
one who has a power greater than either of them to endanger the world and cause
total destruction! Written by Vue.

Batman
V Superman may not be the superhero film that we want, but its sure as hell the
one we need.

Batman V Superman marks the very first time I have seen a movie on its
opening night that has received a standing ovation. I never thought I would say
it was better than the Dark Knight, but it is, and completely eclipses
Christopher Nolan's brilliant trilogy. Firstly, I am going to cast all doubt
aside about Ben Affleck as Batman – he is without a doubt the best and most
accurate Batman we've seen to date – if the Academy didn't ignore films like
these I would say a nod for Best supporting actor would be more than likely.
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was also surprisingly good and very fitting to
the role he was given. However, there are too many great performances to
mention, but it is fair to say the cast as a whole were absolutely outstanding
and it is one the rare occasions where there were no existing weak links. The
film is brilliantly written and carved to perfection by Academy Award Winning
Screenwriter Chris Terrio and The Dark Knight trilogy front man David S. Goyer,
who have created a rich and epic story that explores its characters effectively
with surpassingly profound emotional heft. Its perfectly weighted blend of
humour, emotion,. action and a subtle political agenda make for an entirely
compelling and unforgettable affair. It is superbly filmed, and Snyder
masterfully blends shots to create almost seamless sequences whilst
establishing an emotional and compelling atmosphere. It truly sets a new
standard for superhero films – and a new tone at that. Ultimately, Batman V
Superman may not be the superhero film that we want, but its sure as hell the
one we need.
