Joey T’s review published on Letterboxd:
Batman v Superman is the newest superhero movie from DC Comics.
The film is directed by Zack Snyder.
It is a fantasy/science fiction/action film produced for the masses to enjoy.
That being said, why is anyone surprised at what a schlockfest it is? Honestly, what do people expect from a movie like this? They say it's certified rotten; I say it's certified fun as all hell!
Everything is perfectly cheesy and over-the-top in this film and it is a thrill ride if you allow yourself to ride it. I honestly have not had this much fun watching a movie in a long time.
You know how people enjoy watching those old, cheesy superhero movies and TV shows? You know how they have a certain charm to them? Well, people are going to look back at this film the same way; I guarantee it. It is very cheesy by today's standards, so I guess that's off-putting for some people - but as time goes on, people will look back at this film and enjoy the schlock.
I can't even call this a bad film, really... there are too many redeeming factors, and even the negative ones only add to the enjoyment of it.
I would pay to see this again in theaters. I will own this movie. It's hilarious and fun. Go see it with low expectations and enjoy the ride. Seriously. You can do it!
