Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - Why You Need To See This Film

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - Why You Need To See This Film

Starring: Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill, Jesse Eisenber, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Daine Lane, Jena Malone

The critics hated the movie, what did you expect from a Comicbook adaptation? I’ve seen critics complain about the religious undertone, the political ties and moral dilemma. But when everything is said and done, we are watching a movie where an indestructible man fly’s while another dresses as a Bat. This movie isn’t being made to enlighten, it was made to entertain and it did just that. The best part of this movie we received the best Bruce Wayne/Batman I’ve seen. Ben Affleck was amazing and I can’t wait to see what he does with the future of Batman. And for everyone that was worried about Gal Gadot, she was amazing and sold me on her as Wonder Woman.  

Batman V Superman had to do something which the marvel movies haven’t had to do the entire time, Introduce new character, tell the story of all those character and actually give us movie which made sense. Yes the editing was a little choppy, but every scene was worth it. Every dream sequence from Bruce gave you the perfect insight to the mind set of a man afraid, scared of what could happen. Every time we were introduced to Lex we saw a lunatic going crazy with power, and every time we saw Superman we were treated to man dealing with the reality that the world around him may fear what he is.

The movie itself was more a starting point, a origin story of sorts. This earth hasn’t been introduced to Meta-Human’s yet. As the scene with the few clips of The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg showed us. There seems to be more at play than just a starting point for a Justice League movie, and if we are lucky we will be treated to a Crisis on Infinity earths movie. As seen during one of the dream sequences The Flash appears but looks like he is reaching out from the future. If that looked familiar, well it was basically pulled from the Crisis on Infinity Earth Story line.  

Finally there was Doomsday, was it the Doomsday i was expecting? No, they pulled from way to many points of the DC Universe. But it was nice to see that Doomsday was still the powerful villain that we needed. I said from the moment that they revealed that Doomsday was in Batman V Superman, we needed the Death of Superman Story. That is exactly what we received and it didn’t disappoint. 

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was exactly what i wanted. The film didn’t disappoint. If you have an doubts about this movie or if you walked away from it disappointed, I suggest taking a moment and see it again.

Supergirl Review: Season 1 Episode 4 "How Does She Do It?"

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 4
“How Does She Do It?”

Synopsis:
Kara’s two identities are stretched thin when Supergirl must protect National City from a series of bombings and Kara is tasked with babysitting Cat’s son, Carter. Also, James is conflicted when his ex-girlfriend Lucy Lane seeks to rekindle their relationship

Review:
After a week delay and a switch in episodes we finally get episode 4 of Supergirl. Like the first three episodes we are all over the place with this one; but for the first time it fits with the story being told. A lot went on in this episode, between Kara babysitting Cat’s son and trying to stop bombings around National City it seems Kara has to much on her plate. Add in the arrival of Lucy trying to get James back we end up with a cluster. 

The first thing we learn is that Kara is being followed, the tech being used is from Maxwell Lord. So Alex and Henshaw decide to investigate only to learn that it may be the result of an ex employee. By the end of the episode we learn that not only did Lord plan these bombings around National City it was part of a bigger plan to learn more about Supergirl. While Kara was trying to save all the people on the train, Henshaw and Alex assist by trying to prevent a bomb from going off. We finally get to see a little more of Henshaw and ultimately learn that there is a possibility that he will end up as Cyborg before the end of the currently season.

Final Thoughts, I think we have learned a great deal from the switch of the episode. It seems to me the show runs a lot smoother without Jimmy Olsen being present, The Love triangle forming between Kara, Jimmy, and Lucy needs to go away and soon. I am also not sure what Lucy brings to the show only to have her be a distraction from telling of the story and being a connection to Lois Lane. We finally have been given the opportunity to learn more about Lord and its nice to see that the creators of the show have given Supergirl her very own Lex Luthor. Lords need to learn more about Supergirl will be interesting to follow form here on out. I am excited to see what he will become as the show progresses. 

Once again we are left with a lot of pointless story’s, it will be interesting to see if Episode 5 is the starting point of a better build up going forward as the 4th episode seem to have many of the same flaws as the earlier episodes. Do to the structure of this show I have to give this episode One Thumbs Down. Please Leave your comments below
