Just saw BvS. And I have to remind myself that these movies are made for people who know nothing.
I found most of it overwrought and with a complete lack of whimsey though I must say I laughed exactly once and only because a line of dialogue quoted an old pop song, intentionally I think. I quite like Affleck as Batman AND Bruce Wayne and his costume may be my favorite of all the cinematic Batmen (Batmans? Oy). And I did like Gia Gadot's Wonder Woman. There's enough mystery there to make me want to know more and see what they do with it. Cavill and Superman are an entirely different story. The director hasn't got a clue who Superman is or should be and this absolutely informs Cavil's portrayal, which I would sum up as clueless. Though I admit to having some prejudice having known Superman longer than Cavill's been alive and also being Team Kaley. And I really really hate the color palette, or lack of one to be more exact.
So, worst film ever made? Probably not.
