    Batman V Superman from 2016.

    My local theatre had an early early show: an early morning premiere, a day earlier than the official release date.

    In spite of the, frankly, stupid trailer #2, I was still excited to see the first live action movie with Batman and Superman with my fellow nerds.

    We came out of the theatre thinking it was a good movie, with Lex Luthor’s odd shenanigans aside (mannerisms, maintaining tabs on meta humans with well designed logos, etc.).

    I specifically remember appreciating and talking about the movie’s score (Hans Zimmer), cinematography (Larry Fong), and costumes (Michael Wilkinson and Ironhead Studios).

    While driving back, one of us checked the reviews and box office indications, and it was abysmal. The reaction was so bad that there was unspoken agreement between us to never talk about it again in public.

    I still like the movie, and like the Ultimate Edition even more. But I wasn’t a fan of all the movies that followed.

    E: grammar

      as a standalone work, divorced of all context, BvS was a perfectly serviceable movie. I had fun watching it.
