The Main Reason Batman V Superman Sucked Isn’t What You Think It Is

Video: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a joyless movie that had none of the fun that comes with being a superhero flick (I mean, even Batman can have fun between grunts). But that wasn’t the main reason it sucked. Nerdwriter explains that its the movie’s over-reliance on moments versus scenes that makes the whole thing feel awkward, staged and inauthentic. The film tried to awe us with slow motion shots, montage sequences, dream scenes, close up shots and absolute destruction… but as a result, it forgot to build a world or tell a story we would care about.

The video explainer offers a neat perspective on how a movie that was packed with so many moments could end up feeling so empty.
