Let's not make any bones about it - on any scale, Dawn of Justice is painful to watch.

It is without question an important film today, and a quintessential product of the America we inhabit.

There is much to claw through here, so much so that the audience might easily find themselves exhausted from the overall aggression of the film. However, a lot of the story does work. The action is good, and the emotion feels real most of the time.

Get all that you can out of the big budget on display here, because it’s about the only thing worth watching BvS for.
