Reviews
"[T]he director, a strong technician whose slam-bang emphatic, occasionally operatic style seems made for comic book adaptations, has been well-served by an adept script co-written by Chris Terrio..." (Los Angeles Times)
3 stars out of 4 -- "Cavill still has the square-jawed heroism of the son of Krypton down pat..." (Rolling Stone)
"[I]t’s a credit to Affleck -- and the enduring popularity of the character -- that it doesn’t feel too soon to have him on screen again....Aided by Snyder’s visual verve, its an extremely faithful take on the character, and, alone, he’s responsible for many of the film’s best moments..." (Total Film)
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he fight is a tightly choreographed, berserkly overwrought treat." (Empire)
"DAWN OF JUSTICE is big, all right. The brawls are busy and brutal, the story is sprawling in scope..." (Entertainment Weekly)
