Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice [3D Blu-ray]

Well, I get that this film panned by a lot of folks... but I suspect that much of that comes down to the "Coke versus Pepsi" style argument, where "if it's not Marvel, it sucks."I should point out that I've been a comic reader for many years... though I finally bailed on DC when they did their most recent "reboot" ("The New 52"). I haven't bought any in quite a few years now, and had pared down to almost nothing before that. So, my knowledge of "current comics" may be a bit sparse, but of historical comics (from the 1960s through the early 2000's) is fairly complete. The only stuff I've been following in recent times has been Robert Kirkland's "Walking Dead" series.So... let's just say, I didn't have the expectations that some folks did when going into these films (Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice). I was VERY pleased with "Man of Steel" (which I consider to be a 9/10 rating, with the main issues being the terrible "Pa Kent" bit which failed to ruin the film but did taint it a bit).I'd heard that folks didn't like this film, in advance... and to be fair, my wife tells me she hated it, so I get where these are coming from. :)But... to me, this was a pretty good film, overall... though I've marked it down a star for being TERRIBLY derivative... in the sense that "they borrowed scenes, intact, from a series of other stories."To anyone who knows the story of "The Dark Knight Returns"... much of this story is lifted, DIRECTLY, from that. (There's an animated film version of that story now, so you can go watch that, and compare... and see how much of this is taken from that.) And, of course, more of it is lifted from the classic "The Death of Superman" story arc, as well, which many of us will remember. More still is taken from one of the more modern retellings of how the Justice League was formed. And we get a healthy dollop of Apocalypse (not the biblical concept, but the extradimensional world ruled by Darkseid and opposed by Jack Kirby's "New Gods"), complete with Darkseid's "Parademons" being shown on-screen, and Darkseid's "Omega" symbol on the scorched Earth.So... what the makers of this film tried to do was lift some of the best, most beloved, story elements from many sources and blend them into a single, coherent storyline.And... they actually do a pretty decent job of it. I'm marking it down for them trying to do that in the first place, but giving them credit for doing something that they shouldn't have done, but doing it in the best way possible.The REALLY GOOD in this film...All of the main "superhero" characters are very well portrayed. I was worried about Affleck, but he did a fine job here. Plus, we get glimpses of other superhero characters who we, no doubt, will see a lot more of later (Cyborg, Aquaman, The Flash, and even, it's hinted at, the Martian Manhunter). We didn't see any hint of Green Lantern... mainly because after the mistakes made in the GL movie a few years ago, they're no doubt planning how to fix that without violating the principle tenets of the character. No doubt that we'll see him, in some form, in the next film in the series.And the bits "borrowed" from other works... are "well-borrowed" and are, on their own individual merits, quite good.The "OK"...The portrayal of Doomsday wasn't quite up to snuff. It was just another "Deus Ex Machina" here... reasonably well-done but Doomsday should have warranted an entire movie all to itself. Making Doomsday a "reanimated zombie of General Zod" felt a bit... weird... but I could live with that.Amy Adams' Lois Lane remains... OK. But she's still pretty bland. I prefer the Lois we got in Smallville over all others we've seen to date. Lois needs more attitude, but needs to seem utterly competent. And please, no more "Teri Hatcher" versions... nice as she may have been to look at.And... the BAD...Yes, the story is too derivative, as stated before. That's the biggest issue I have with this film, by far.AND...The Lex Luthor character in this film wasn't good. I get it... they wanted to make this "relevant to today" by giving us a "founder of facebook" character rather than the classic "mad scientist" or the more recent "business tycoon" versions we've had before. The problem is, this particular version of Lex simply seemed WEAK, and ILL DEFINED.Again, Lex really needed a film all to himself, or perhaps multiple films, in order to get to the point we're left at in this film... and we've never had that with this particular Lex, so none of what he does in this film has any real weight to it.Oh... and my final quibble... BATMAN DOES NOT USE GUNS. It's not that he's morally incapable of it... he's PSYCHOLOGICALLY INCAPABLE OF IT, as in "guns horrify and disgust him." Now, you could argue that (as was done in "The Dark Knight Returns") he has no issue with RUBBER bullets... bruising and otherwise injuring, but not killing, his targets. But in this case, we see him mowing down opponents with machine guns, with their vehicles exploding (and them OBVIOUSLY being killed).To be fair... in reality, a figure like "Batman" could never operate successfully without killing. (Which is why, in reality, a figure like "Batman" should never exist!) And perhaps the filmmakers wanted to put this more firmly into the real world? But this is such a HUGE deviation from the Batman of the comics that it's just beyond accepting that this is the same character.(FYI, this was an issue with the Tim Burton Batman films of decades past, as well... but something that the Nolan films got right! Batman will put you into the intensive care ward, but he doesn't kill.)

I’ve rarely seen a movie receive as much scorn as Batman v Superman and I wanted to offer my own defense of the movie even as I point out many of its problems. The main complaint seems to be that it’s an editing mess and I won’t deny it has issues. To those who claim the extended cut cleans up those issues I completely disagree and in my opinion the theatrical release is the superior version, if for nothing else than the extended cut explores story arcs that I thought hurt the narrative. I’ll start with the films problems and then work my way to a defense.For me, the biggest problem in the film is Alexander Luthor’s motivation or lack thereof. He attempts to frame Superman, tries to import a substance capable of killing Superman and works hard to engineer a fight between Superman and Batman. He even blows up the Capitol building presumably killing much of Congress. The question is why? It’s not like the comics haven’t explored the hatred Luthor has for Superman but it was like the filmmakers decided to leave Luthor’s motivation to the viewers. This is a major problem and entirely avoidable. His rambling about devils coming from the sky does not fix the problem. Then we have some smaller plot issues. Luthor’s framing of Superman for murder was absurd since the people were killed with bullets. The extended version goes much deeper into this plot point which is one reason I prefer the theatrical release. Also, why did Diana Prince steal the data file from Lex? I guess she wanted the photo of her old bf but why give it back to Bruce Wayne? Was it because she failed to decrypt it and wanted Bruce to do it and then give it back to her?I consider the first two Christopher Nolan films to be the gold standard of superhero films. The third film was very good but had some serious plot issues. The difference between Nolan and Zack Snyder is that Nolan makes a lot less mistakes. Snyder loves to swing for the fences and take huge chances (I do realize that Snyder is not actually the writer). I thought the scene of Superman standing in the swirling maelstrom that was the Capitol Building was brilliant. This one is kind of blunted by the fact that there was no reason for Luthor to blow up the Capitol building unless he thought it would somehow be blamed on Superman and the extended version actually goes in that route. Ugh. I also felt chills at the ‘You’re letting them kill Martha…’ even though a lot of people mock it. I am a long time comic fan and it never occurred to me that the mothers of Clark and Bruce share the same first name. It was also an amazing way for Bruce to suddenly humanize the Godlike Superman like a thunderbolt to the brain.Perhaps my favorite fight in the history of superhero movies was Batman vs. Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. No obvious CGI, no music, just two combatants in brutal combat. Nolan kept it simple while Snyder always likes to go over the top and somehow almost always manages to get a facepalm moment in his action scenes. Why does Superman TWICE allow himself to be caught by Batman’s Kryptonite gas? Then there is that ridiculous part where Batman ties a cable around Superman’s feet and begins swinging him around. For me, there were a bunch of awesome memorable moments and more than a couple of *DOH* moments in the movie. I would rather have a film with great moments that stick in my brain and a few clunkers than one that is just consistently good. I like directors that take chances unless they produce a true trainwreck (which a lot of people claim Batman v Superman is).The other big problem is the dark Zack Snyder tone and you either like it or you don’t. If you don’t like it you probably don’t like Zack Snyder films and there isn’t much WB can do about that except change directors. I’m cool with the tone and when the producers try to slip in some corny jokes that don’t mesh with Snyders vision they seem out of place. I was able to overlook many of the films flaws because there was enough stuff that I really liked and I could probably list at least a dozen spine tingling moments. I have no doubt that the people who hate this film are entirely sincere and it most certainly is a film with room for improvement. It’s just that in my final mental calculation I found more good than bad and when the film is good it’s often exceptional.

RECENSIONE:La catastrofica battaglia di Metropolis vista in L'Uomo d'Acciaio ha lasciato enormi strascichi dietro di sé, dentro e fuori lo schermo cinematografico. L'ondata di distruzione portata dallo scontro tra l'improvvisato 'paladino' Superman/Clark Kent/Kal-El e l'invasore kryptoniano, il fiero Generale Zod, è stata una delle cose più criticate da pubblico e critica all'uscita della pellicola, ma allo stesso tempo è stata anche, nell'universo di finzione filmica, l'argomento di discussione principale per l'opinione pubblica nel corso dei due anni successivi all'evento. Il mondo è diviso tra chi considera Superman una sorta di Messia protettore, votato al bene e sempre pronto a proteggere, e chi lo crede un magnete per calamità di vario tipo, un impostore, un pericolo ambulante che minaccia l'esistenza stessa del genere umano. Tra questi va sicuramente annoverato Bruce Wayne, ereditiero e playboy di giorno e vigilante mascherato di notte nei panni di Batman, deciso a stanare e rendere inerte l'incredibile minaccia. E mentre Clark è ancora confuso sul modo migliore di sfruttare i suoi doni per il bene dell'umanità senza per questo perdere di vista la propria vita privata e il rapporto sentimentale con la giornalista in carriera Lois Lane, la misteriosa Diana Prince si muove nell'ombra alla ricerca di informazioni top secret e il machiavellico genio di Lex Luthor ha architettato un piano per esacerbare la rivalità tra il "semidio" kryptoniano e il raddrizzatore di torti proveniente da Gotham City... il conflitto Batman v Superman è l'alba di un nuovo concetto di giustizia.Risorgere dalle proprie ceneri e imparare dai propri errori: questa la missione e il proposito di Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, film diretto da Zack Snyder e tassello fondamentale nell'effettiva creazione di un universo cinematografico condiviso per gli eroi targati DC Comics. Man of Steel, l'imperfetto esperimento che ha voluto rilanciare la figura di Superman presso il grande pubblico, serve ora come trampolino di lancio per la Justice League, il supergruppo che coinvolge i "pesi massimi" della casa fumettistica, in primis Batman e Wonder Woman. Quello che doveva essere un semplice sequel, insomma, in corso d'opera si rivela un film corale, che si sforza di porre le basi per il futuro. Peccato che si tratti di fondamenta tanto pregiate quanto tremolanti. Se il primo film mostrava di possedere ottime intenzioni non supportate da uno script all'altezza, qui notiamo ancora una volta poca lucidità nella stesura della vicenda, che mette troppa carne al fuoco.Come di consueto, in queste riduzioni filmiche, gli originali fumettistici fungono solo da spunto, quindi se state cercando il Frank Miller de Il ritorno del Cavaliere Oscuro vi consiglio piuttosto di recuperare il film animato in due parti di qualche anno fa, dato che qui ruolo e convinzioni dei personaggi non sono esattamente gli stessi. Ancora una volta, l'essenza del personaggio di Superman viene messa a fuoco ma mai centrata davvero, e se un primo film su un personaggio 'in divenire' è accettabile e anzi interessante, al secondo cominciamo a volere delle risposte o quantomeno delle linee guida, non una figura ancora incerta del suo ruolo che porta con sé una risma di comprimari basilarmente vuoti (eh sì, Lois compresa: per quanto ci si sforzi a renderla forte, rimane un insopportabile elemento di disturbo). Posso dire invece un gran bene del Batman di Ben Affleck: convincente, credibile, sofferto e perennemente imbronciato e profondamente rabbioso, è il Batman che più si avvicina a quello dei grandi classici "seri" sul personaggio, oserei dire probabilmente il migliore fino ad ora, con buona pace di Christian Bale, probabilmente l'interprete più amato del Pipistrello di Gotham. La mossa intelligente è quella di mostrare un Batman maturo, con vent'anni di carriera alle spalle, cinico e pragmatico in conseguenza del terribile passato che lo tormenta da decenni. Graficamente, stilisticamente e a livello di mentalità e stile di combattimento, è un Batman mastodontico, che rende giustizia al più grande detective d'azione della storia del fumetto mondiale. Sebbene rimanga qualche dubbio sui suoi metodi, più efferati di quanto siamo abituati a vedere. Elemento curioso, comunque, è l'evidente modellazione delle movenze e delle coreografie di combattimento sulla versione Rocksteady del personaggio, elemento che, ad ogni modo, è tutt'altro che disprezzabile. Altra nota cutiosa, l'Alfred di Jeremy Irons è giovanile e accattivante, ma mai solo apparentemente distaccato come siamo abituati a vederlo. Un'interessante rivisitazione.Al di là, poi, degli eventuali camei e citazioni, c'è da spendere due parole sulle altre due new entry principali nel cast: Lex Luthor e Wonder Woman. Jesse Eisenberg è un Luthor giustamente mefistofelico e lontano dal pensare comune, ma è forse fin troppo palesemente schizofrenico, preda di una lucida follia che sembra accomunarlo più al Joker che al geniale inventore e stratega spina nel fianco di Superman nei fumetti. La Diana di Gal Gadot, invece, riesce nonostante tutto a convincere: il terzo componente della "Trinità" DC era un elemento assai delicato da posare nell'organigramma della trama e si temeva che la bella attrice israeliana non fosse fisicamente all'altezza per presentare una dea della guerra scesa in Terra. Ma invece buca lo schermo e riesce sempre ad essere convincente e sensuale.E a proposito delle due città: il film presenta meno assurde incongruenze del suo predecessore, ma il rapporto tra le due città rimane assai confuso, sia a livello scenografico che geografico. Vista la continua alternanza di palcoscenici, con personaggi che passano in pochi minuti dall'una all'altra, sembrano quasi adiacenti, con conseguente grande confusione dello spettatore e molti dubbi di tipo logistico che restano difficilmente spiegabili.DISCO E CONTENUTI SPECIALI:Durata: 151 minuti circa;Film: Blu Ray 1080p e Copia Digitale per guardare il film sui dispositivi portatili;Audio: Dolby Atmos;Contenuti Speciali: ben oltre 2 ore con documentari dei futuri supereroi, le schede dei personaggi, il design della Bat Mobile, il mondo DC e altro ancora. I contenuti speciali non sono in alta definizione.CONCLUSIONI:L'importanza di una pellicola del genere nell'affollato panorama dei cinefumetti è indiscussa, e le possibilità di fallire erano alte. Tanto è vero che ogni precedente tentativo di realizzare un film simile erano, finora, naufragate. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, tuttavia, non è un fallimento, alcune cose sono state studiate molto bene e danno discreta soddisfazione sia ai neofiti dell'universo DC Comics che ai fan. Ma, ad ogni modo, è palese che sia stata calcata troppo la mano, portando gli autori a infarcire la pellicola di troppi elementi, oltretutto non valorizzati a dovere nonostante la generosa durata dell'opera. La pellicola, in sostanza, ha delle ottime frecce al suo arco ma lascia troppi dubbi nello spettatore. Si tratta di un film difficile da fruire ed elaborare, interessante ma con poco mordente, non equilibrato ma, tutto sommato, godibile. Confido che i successivi film stand-alone sui personaggi DC aggiustino il tiro. Solo per gli appassionati del genere.

Der Sohn von Krypton gegen die Fledermaus von Gotham!" (Lex Luthor) Aber: Kein Popcorn-Kino. Keine Sprüche. Düster und eben nicht quietschbunt. Action gibt es fast nur im letzten Drittel des Films. Wer hier so etwas wie die Avengers erwartet, könnte also enttäuscht werden. Mit der vielleicht besten Anfangssequenz (Rückblende) aller Batman-Filme ("Und im Traum brachten sie [die Fledermäuse] mich ans Licht. Eine wunderschöne Lüge!"). Ich persönlich wurde absolut positiv überrascht (mochte ich doch Snyders Comic-Verfilmungen von Watchmen und Man of Steel nicht wirklich). Der Film macht definitiv Lust auf mehr. Für mich tatsächlich 4/5**** Note 2+ (und damit für mich der zweitbeste Film im DC-Universum nach The Dark Knight)[Anmerkung: Ähnlich wie bei Der Herr der Ringe oder Der Hobbit werde ich mir in Zukunft nur noch den Extended Cut der Ultimate Edition anschauen. Für mich ist der Film nun schlüssiger und ergibt so mehr Sinn, da die Beweggründe der beiden jetzt offensichtlicher sind.]Clark Kent: "Was halten Sie von dem Fledermaus-Ordnungshüter in Gotham?" - Bruce Wayne: "Daily Planet!

I enjoyed this movie much more than I expected to do following the bad press reviews but not as much as I should have done when you you look at the time and money that went into it.It is a brilliant superhero movie but considering it had the two most iconic comic heroes in history to play with something went wrong.Personally I think the title tells the what the problem is.Batman v Superman.Why did they have to make them enemies.These two appeared together in a comic book called Worlds Finest where they fought together the usual array of bad guys along with the little squirt Robin the Boy Wonder.It was one of the best comic books on the market.The movie would have been so much better if it tried to follow the comic in some way while making it a bit more modern ie by losing Robin.There is such a lack of humour it make for a rather dark movie which I suppose the the director was aiming for but I think it went a little bit wrong.The Lex Luthor character would really benefit by being a little bit more like the genius of the comics.Why movie makers always seem to go for quirky I will never know.Ben Affleck makes a better Bruce Wayne than Batman.I just could not take to the sullen sod.Henry Cavill however is a different matter.His take on Superman is brilliant showing his divided emotions.Gal Gadot as WonderWoman is lovely in a small part that is really just an introduction for her own movie.I cant wait for that.All in all a good superhero flick in its own right but doe not do justice th the legends of it heroes.
