The film may be imposing, but it's not fun.

In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel duke it out and the audience loses.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out
If there's any justice, dawning or otherwise, at the multiplex, audiences will reject Zack Snyder's lumbering, dead-on-arrival superhero mélange, a $250 million tombstone for a genre in dire need of a break.

BvS is carried by a brutal Batfleck, but as a whole it offers more philosophical drama than superhero escapism.
The Guardian, Andrew Pulver
Its tough to take all the hardcore emoting seriously, particularly as the emotional heavy lifting is designed to be done by the occasional maudlin line in brief pauses between the explosions. For a film so concerned with its characters inner lives, theres a fundamental disconnect going on here enough to make you yearn for the lighter touch of the Marvel films.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a treat for the eyes, but it will hurt your brain and break your heart.
Robbie Collin, Telegraph
Marvel can rest easy. Zack Synder's superhero showdown is a meatheaded, humourless mess that makes little sense and squanders its cast - especially the women
William Bibbiani, CraveOnline
This film has turned all of its great characters into perfunctory plot points, in the service of a plot that doesn't even work well.
Sean O'Connell, CinemaBlend
An improvement over Man of Steel, and a much better Batman movie than it is a Superman film. The highlights far outweigh the issues, and DC now has a base on which it can build its empire.
Oscar Uriel, Cinema Movil
The film is a discordant and almost three hour experience. There are some good and bad things, but still better than Man of Steel.
Uriel Barco, Garuyo
Not only is this a big let down in every sense, it makes you wonder if the rest of the DC Comics films will have the same fate.
