Cinephile No. 561 “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

Besides Zack Snyder's obsession with blowing up the downtown core of every city in America and the orgy of CGI, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" was a decent comic book movie. Now, I know most critics disagree with this assessment, but compared to Snyder’s work on “Man of Steel,” this seemed like a completely different movie. There was a conceivable plot line, which possessed some holes and could have benefited from one more rewrite, but it was easy to follow and made sense to those of us who spent some time reading comic books. It also laid the foundation for what will be a succession of films based on the heroes featured in the Justice League. As the story moves forward and we encounter the origin stories of other superheroes, I am excited to see where the story goes and how it unfolds.

 

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
