[Batman v. Superman] Dawn Of Justice


A terrific thrill!

True villainy is often unrecognized in the light of day and monsters thrive at night. Twenty years ago, from tragedy, a vigilant nightmare was born. Eighteen months ago, terror fell from the heavens. Now, deadly menace is threatening, people cry for justice, the world is in conflict, and heroes battle against impending doom...!

The intrepid reporter, Lois Lane is determined to ferret out the demon responsible for a coup in the middle east which nearly cost her life, a coup for which Superman is blamed. Clark Kent is determined to expose the bat vigilante terrorizing the criminals of Gotham. Bruce Wayne would like nothing more than to reveal the demon supplying extraordinary weaponry to terrorists and criminals alike. But, it is the sinister machinations of Lex Luther with which they all should be most concerned...!

This film is well performed and well directed, with a decent story and fantastic settings. This is the beginning of something special.

He's Just Not That Into You

A bit too much to be truly romantic, too much like daytime drama – but if you’re into soaps....

The lives and relationships of seven people are interwoven in this story of what woman want, what men need, and what will make or break them. More, this is a story of love and hope and finding the jewel hidden right in front of your eyes.

Decently written and directed, the strength of this film is the brilliant performances!

B / PG2
