“Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice” finally brings us a crossover between Batman and Superman but I wish they hadn’t bothered. It’s been in comics and cartoons but as the years have gone by and we’ve seen the likes of “Freddy vs. Jason” and “Alien vs. Predator”, people have been begging to see this film but now that it’s here, I think most have disappointed. It’s not only the worst “Superman” film or the worst “Batman” film but it’s among the worst superhero films, down there with “Howard The Duck” and “Catwoman”.

In “Batman v Superman”, the world is struggling to come to terms with the existence of Superman (Henry Cavill “Man Of Steel”). After several dozen subplots, Batman (Ben Affleck “Argo”) fight in one of the worst fights in a Hollywood film before they team up to fight a giant monster.

Henry Cavill is bland as Superman. Ben Affleck is terrible as Batman and probably gives the worst performance of Batman I’ve ever seen. The outfit he has with the glowing eyes look ridiculous and the voice-altering mechanism is just horrendous making him sound like some sort-of machine rather than a man. The characters have very few interactions and they’re awful. Jesse Eisenberg (“The Social Network”) comes across as awkward as Lex Luthor. Doomsday looks terrible and the other heroes are bland.

“Batman v Superman” could’ve been great but instead it’s overly politicised drivel. Remember how in “Iron Man”, Iron Man actually fought terrorists like the ones in the real world? This film copies that. Remember how “Avengers Assemble” had a bunch of superheroes team up to fight a big threat? This film copies that. Remember Iron Man sitting in front of a committee in “Iron Man 2”? This film copies that. The film so desperately wants to copy the success of the Marvel films that it becomes shameless. I hated the action scenes, I hated the story, I hated the acting and I hated the political themes littered throughout. I miss “Superman: The Movie” or the 1989 version of “Batman”.
