Marvel Comics writer Peter David reviews Batman Vs. Superman on his blog.
You can head on over to read there to read the entire review. Here are a few highlights:
• Ben Affleck, defying the haters, is brilliant as Bruce Wayne and formidable as Batman.
• And Gal Godot…my God, what a great Wonder Woman.
• As for Henry Cavill…well, there’s the problem.
• The plot doesn’t serve him, or anyone, especially well.
• Man, I am so sick of trailers ruining films. In this instance, every major story beat is in the trailers.
• And that’s the culmination of the problem: I didn’t care.
• Ultimately what it comes down to is that Marvel has set the tone and style for superhero films.
Peter David is currently writing Spider-Man 2099 and Dark Tower for Marvel and also wrote the Marvel Future Fight mobile game.
