I had high hopes for this movie, I really did. I'm still going to go see it but I'm not going into this movie with the high standards and overall badassery I did originally.

Zack Snyder makes superhero movies, but his characters don’t act very heroic. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice features all the other trappings of the superhero genre: Capes, gadgets, outlandish muscles, punching stuff.
