BvS : Dawn of Justice Decoded

On March 25, 2016 came the movie that everyone was waiting for: “Batman V Superman”. It did not really get positive reviews from the critics. A majority of critics just did not understand the movie. Did you not have butterflies in your stomach when you saw this scene? Did you guys not have an orgasm when this happened? Well, I did. I loved the whole movie. It was God vs The greatest Gladiator the world has seen. It was Son of Krypton vs Bat of Gotham.

BvS : Dawn of Justice Decoded

The critics said that the movie is “humorless”, “too dark” and that “Batman is violent”.

They were expecting something that Marvel has been doing for a while, a bit of romance, a bit of comedy. I'm not saying that Marvel movies are bad. They are just as good. But DC and Marvel have different styles.

The critics probably did not like the movie because :

1. The heroes did not get beaten up and then they did not come back and won everyone's heart.

2. Heroes did not crack jokes and there were no one-liners.

3. No motivational speech or anything to bring the heroes together to fight for one cause and then make love in the end (not literally).

To answer some of the critics questions about Dawn of Justice :

Yes, Dawn of Justice was dark.

Batman is a deep and dark character. He's not Iron Man who'll crack jokes and just do random shit. No, he has gone through a lot. And what he is right now, is because of that. Not because of some experiment or anything.

Yes, Dawn of Justice was humorless.

Lex Luthor is not a villain. He is an anti-hero. He's a genius. Whatever he does, it has a meaning. Unlike Loki who just wanted to rule the world? They did not show us the real Lex Luthor. No, that's not a bad thing. They just introduced him to us. They are probably saving the real Lex Luthor for Justice League.

Yes, Dawn of Justice was not flashy.

Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, as they have shown us in the movie, she has been in the human world for thousands of years. She left the human world. She has seen everything, from fighting Doomsday (as we saw) to fighting Nazis. They showed us her past. And they'll introduce her in her solo movie.

Again, Marvel movies are not bad. DC and Marvel have different types of superheroes. They have different styles.

While Marvel heroes are a bit “weak”, DC superheroes have God-like powers.

While Marvel heroes are funny and they crack jokes, DC superheroes are dark and grim.

There are a lot of stupid reviews because the critics did not understand the movie, but trust me, there are not a lot of loopholes in the movie. Yes, Dawn of Justice is not perfect, but then no movie is perfect, is it?

To avoid spoilers skip everything in bold.

Critics got “confused” as to what exactly was happening during these scenes and called them dreams. Whoever did, he/she is not qualified to write a movie review. Or they should not write about superhero movies.

That's Metropolis after Darkseid invasion of Earth.

These flies like creatures are not serving Superman. They are serving Darkseid.

What the critics called “dreams”, it was actually someone trying to warn Batman about Darkseid's invasion of earth (possibly from the future). They even showed The Flash (I'm sure the critics did not know that it was Flash), and he said: “I'm too soon”. This would mean, though, that Batman and The Flash will be interacting and likely factored into why Bruce Wayne told Diana Prince that they and all of the other heroes will have to come together.

Zack Snyder wanted Batman to get all the heroes together, and not Superman. With Superman , it’s like, Batman is just a guy although he beats Superman every time they have fought in the comics, something critics don't know.

The critics also said that Ben Affleck's Batman is the worst Batman. I pity those critics who don't know enough about the DC universe and think that they are “geeks” just because they have watched 'Man of Steel' and a couple of Marvel movies.

New York Post wrote,

“Ben Affleck unsuccessfully dons the Batsuit in bloated 'Batman v Superman'.”

GQ said,

“Batman v Superman will make you hate Batman, Superman, and The Justice League.”

And some other critics, who have no knowledge of these things wrote similar reviews. Just because you did not understand the movie, what Zack Snyder was showing you, that doesn't mean that the movie was “disappointing”.

Comicbook.com said,

“Best Batman till now”, “Zack Snyder brought a refreshingly serious tone to the often joke filled genre and made some bold storytelling choices.”

Now they know what they're talking about.

Believe me, this is the superhero movie every comic book fan aches for.

It's definitely worth a watch.

P.S.: If you're gonna comment and write a spoiler, please do write that it’s a spoiler. Don't ruin the movie for everyone, like some stupid people do by posting it on Social Media.
