Customer Ratings & Reviews

This film is a dark movie. Each character in it is borderline too dark, IMHO, but it is important to the story to understand that Batman feels powerless for the second time in his life, the first being the death of his parents. He has been driven to the edge and is in severe danger of crossing the line. This is most of the movie. Superman is a little more interesting in this than in "Man of Steel" and this movie makes that one better in many ways. If you have not seen this, I don't want to spoil the surprises for you. There are some good ones and the story, though long, is pretty powerful, so stick with it. Sticking with it is very tough on the extended cut if it is your first viewing, because it is a long movie and it takes time to get to the finale. But then it gets really good. My overall impression however, is that the film is too dark for too long, and it is a problem across DC right now. They need to dial it back... a LOT.

This film is loud and jumbled and dark. But there is fun to be had. The extended version builds character arcs that are missing in the theatrical version. This added footage strengthens the case for these two heroes to clash. Let's face it, these characters would not agree on much of anything, despite the Superfriends series from the 70s. The more I see this film, the better I like it. It will never be Spider-Man 2, The Avengers, or The Dark Knight Trilogy. But its reputation is worse than it deserves. With the release of the Wonder Woman feature film, it will be observed that her scenes are perhaps among the best of this film. I believe that is justified. The title is to sell tickets, Dawn Of Justice is a better stand alone title. Shoehorning the Death Of Superman story and the Dark Knight Returns together has definite mixed results, but as a starting point for the Big 3, it is not as bad as critics will say.

I liked this movie more than some people, I liked what it was setting up.

The movie was good. Having wonder woman in it made it better.

So I didn't hate this movie when I originally saw it in the theater but I didn't actually love it either. The extended cut made me like it that much more. I'm typically a Marvel girl and I enjoy the humor that gets thrown in those movies. DC is the anti-Marvel in that the story lines are very dark and tragic. If you are a fan of the Dark Knight trilogy or one of the other reincarnations of Superman you won't find any of that here. Ben Affleck is actually a pretty good Batman in this version. Henry Cavill does a good job as Superman once again. And Gal Gadot, though given a small role until her own feature, ROCKS as Wonder Woman. The Justice League easter eggs were really nice too and got my inner fan girl all hyped up before we even saw a Justice League trailer. Overall, this movie is a good addition to the comic cinema-verse series. Can't wait to see what DC does next. *Trying hard not to write a review without spoilers lol

This is such a good movie. So glad I watched it and I love batman.

The extended cut is really good, the film is also beautifully shot.

I honestly enjoyed watching this movie. This movie had alot of action and suspense. This movie had me on the edge of my seat.

Great Comic book movie let down by uneven story and a bad third act.

First thing this steelbook is awesome. Second this movie is awesome. I don't care what these grumpy movie critics or sour fanboys & girls think this movie was fantastic yes it has its flaws but what movie doesn't I'm so sick of people not letting movies be movies now a days. The point of a movie (especially a comicbook movie) is to enjoy the fakeness about it & escape the real world think about it we are talking about a alien that wears a cape & tights & a billionaire that dresses up like bat to stop crime when all he has to do is hire an army or create one of unstoppable robots or something so that he's never in any danger but nope Bruce Wayne is more crazy than any of his villains cause he wants to run around fighting people who has guns, acid flowers, rocket umbrellas & exploding question marks... sorry about that got off subject & don't try to hit me with that it's to dark of a movie crapp when one main character loss his parents in front of him & the other whole planet blew up when he was a baby. All in all Wonder Woman was awesome & Batman was finally Batman not that non detective no real gadgets having Bruce Wayne is always a A hole in public Batman before this & yes I loved those films no salt here but BvS is awesome & I can't believe you've read this whole review wow!! PS, I am a ultimate fanboy of comics, games, anime & all things nerdy & geek'ish by the way : )

It's actually a pretty good movie (especially for a DC comics movie).

My family enjoyed watching this. It's no marvel movie but still good

Who are they anyway? This is a kind of an Art Film superhero movie which really isnt a bad thing but I think people were expecting something less cerebral and more funny like... say... oh..... The Avengers perhaps. This is not that movie and I dont think the director ever intended it to be that. It's really its own beast and it would be a mistake to try to copy the Weadon Avengers formula which Im already getting tired of, frankly. Its LOOOOOONG, dont get me wrong but taken as a whole, if you enjoyed Man of Steel, Which has the same flavor as Batman Vs Superman, you will enjoy this. DC has always been far more somber and joyless then its long time competitor Marvel and thats just them... You want light hearted and not so serious? Go watch DC-TV on the CW... this movie will not be what you are looking for. You want something smart, clever, dark and hard driven? Dump some dark chocolate on your popcorn and have a seat.

The plot of this fight between Batman and Superman is a bit thin in as much as it portrays a super human alien having to deal with a very human but well armed vigilante and vice versa. However, it runs on gut feelings and emotions instead of truth seeking and detective work to figure out and solve the problem. And both of the heroes are played like a cheap violin by Lex Luther to the point of nausea. All the while in the background is the emerging of the other characters of the Justice League being given in bits and pieces, except for Wonder Woman who has a good role as a second banana while stopping the fur from flying and putting some sense into the fray. This whole movie is a set up for what comes next, which are individual films of the Justice League members and their coming together as a group. It is not a prequel or a sequel to the main characters, and so enjoy the excitement and move on to what comes next.

Enjoyed this movie, they worked hard to give glimpses of future characters. Overall that didn’t distract from the plot too much.

Saw the theatrical version in the theater and was only slightly disappointed. The movie felt very unbalanced, loop-sided, and disjointed seemly to focus more on Batman/Bruce Wayne and having Superman/Clark Kent as a side character. All in all, it was an "ok" movie in my opinion upon seeing it in the theater. Upon watching the Ultimate Edition, my reaction was "Why wasn't THIS the version that was released in theaters?!" The Ultimate edition is much more balanced in terms of the characters, it shows Clark and Lois doing investigating as journalists making the final showdown between Superman and Batman have more meaning, and added scenes allow the movie to flow SO MUCH better! Every scene that was added back helped the movie seem much more rounded and everything that occurs makes so much more sense. If you have a Blu-Ray or can borrow one or have a friend that owns one, WATCH THIS VERSION! If this version had been the one that was released theatrically, it would have easily rivaled Civil War and had much better reviews. I will no longer even think of the theatrical version and will keep this version in my head from here on. Much better the second time around as the movie should have been. Superman and Batman fans will be much more pleased if they see this version and forget what they saw in the theater. "A-" rating for the Ultimate Edition in my book.

This is good Saturday movie if you are a fan of Superman or Batman.

Great movie and a blast to watch! Would highly recommend to anyone!

The audio is good and the video quality is good as well.

This is a wonderfully inspired Steelbook release- one that surpasses the designs of that of the Italian Release as well as from the HDZeta Release. The Domestic Release features the stunning visual posters of both Batman and Superman, the batman one starkly black and grey- while the superman release contrasted with the colors that are... actually... not present in the film. In any event, I do appreciate the art style chosen for the Steelbook, however, the idea to have it as a "Reversible Steelbook" is the only thing that is off putting. The ability to flip the steelbook one way or another leaves one of the 2 protagonists always upside down- which, knowing that does bother me more than it should. But that is merely my own personal grievances for an otherwise solid steelbook release. Oh, and in case you were wondering, there is NO difference between the "Batman Edition" and the "Superman Edition".
