- There are a few brilliantly realized moments, the acting is mostly strong despite the weak script (Affleck and Cavill are both superb—Affleck unexpectedly so), and there's enough mythic raw material sunk deep in every scene that you can piece together a classic in your mind if you're feeling charitable; but if you aren't, “Batman v Superman” will seem like a missed opportunity.

After three years of intense hype and scrutiny, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (henceforth known as BvS) is finally here. And it’s OK to good with some very fine and some very off-base moments peppered throughout.
