...31% reviewer / 73% audience. Yours is the first "review" I've run across that didn't totally trash it. What do professional reviewers know about mass market entertainment likes and dislikes anyways? Decisions:decisions.

IMO, BW and other amateur reviewers are better indicators. - free.ranger 08:24:53 03/26/16 (1)
I like the judgements here better than from the paid pros.
But some writings have provided background info on this flick. I read a lot of comic books when I was a kid, and Superman and Batman were pals. So what gives? As Billy indicated, its a jealousy thing. Petty teeny-bop behavior from guys who can destroy civilization? Still, what gives?
It seems that this studio/franchise/whatever was looking for a mechanism to jumpstart a DC Comics series of lucrative megaflicks like Marvel Comics is currently enjoying. They want in on the action, so to speak.
I don't know if most Marvel-based movies have enjoyed any better reviews, but this one appears to need a few more amps in its jumpstart. Besides, they ain't got no Thor or Hulk working for them. Stan Lee rules.

- It seems that Marvel may indeed "enjoy" better reviewer reception... - Steve O 10:41:34 03/26/16 (0)
  ...for whatever that's worth. Most recent was "Deadpool" which is still in theatres in my area.
  
  Friends who've seen "Dawn of Justice" are more aligned with RT's viewer's rating so I'm off to see it tonite in glorious IMAX 3D. Interestingly, there are 4 versions hereabouts: conventional 2D, IMAX 2D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D. Like the laundry detergent aisle at the supermarket.
I noticed that too - Jack G 07:13:52 03/26/16 (0)
Most of the reviews disliked it for being dark, gloomy and serious. Personally that is good reason for me to watch it. I'd pretty much sworn off comic book movies, but I might see this one.
