[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 257031, member: 57"] Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Another "versus" film, this one not quite so successful. I've never really like the shared superhero universe concept. I believe that they are each better as the sole hero in the own story; forcing them together in one world is to the diminishment of both. Here, for example, for much of the film, Superman is reduced to effectively being the villain in a Batman story, yet a villain that we know Batman will not ultimately vanquish, while Wonder Woman is merely a bit player. On the plus side, I liked the Superman & Lois stuff, especially the way Lois was portrayed almost as a co-equal fourth hero. The ending is reminiscent of [I]Star Trek II[/I], complete with Amazing Grace on bagpipes. Somehow, I doubt that Superman's death will stick any more than Spock's did, making it hard to feel the requisite sorrow. [I]The Empire Strikes Back[/I], and its famous unresolved ending, have a lot to answer for. [/QUOTE]
