It has been almost three years since the Man of Steel arrived there in theaters. Three years in which DC Comics did not release any other superhero movie. Meanwhile, its competitor, Marvel, has earned crores of rs. overseas from a dozen men-in-spandex films.
A singularly joyless and often downright miserable put up, director Zack Snyder’s$250 million arrangement seeks to do for DC Comics what The Avengers did for Marvel.
The film’s climax, with its toppling of buildings and subsequent mass destruction to homo sapiens, created a hell opportunity to pit DC’s biggest two super popular characters against one another.
On one side, there’s Superman. An alien under great suspicion, a theme thus-far unexplored and quietly presented in all of his movies. On the other, we have Mr. Batman. Ageing, grizzled, brutal and rightly furious with the last son of Krypton for leveling a city packed with his friends, foes and colleagues.
As the US officials and media begin to question Superman’s place in world security, the man of steel is caught up saving his damn sexy girlfriend, Lois Lane, as she investigates a mystery that catches the detecting eye of Bruce Wayne too, and it may or may not involve super-villain-cum-billionaire, Lex Luthor, who’s staunchly opposed to the power Superman holds.
Sadly, Snyder doesn’t dwell on this Superman - Batman stuff for very long, instead he focussed on prioritising destruction, justified by the evil plays of Jesse Eisenberg’s, Snyder being obsessed with utter violence and devastation game leaves making Lex Luthor remarkably irritating.
Eventually, the film turns to an assault on the senses, battering your ears with ever-increasing levels of astonished choral voices via creepy sounds and awful matches of soundtracks inculcated, which I see is hard to be accepted by a person’s listening sense.
Snyder’s storytelling skills were in question long before BvS came along to capture everyone’s eyeballs on the other side he was being compared with The Cristopher Nolan, but having lucked out with the plot weaved the character which were used to be the smug for DC, simply seems here being downright wasted .
Stick to the trailer. It’s quieter, shorter, and doesn’t require Snyder to tell a never ending story, which appears to be his ultimate goal to keep it ever going.
