This is actually a mashup of 3 or 4 movies. First, there’s the titular conflict, which places Henry Cavill against Ben Affleck in a pretty stupid fight. Don’t forget Superman’s nemesis Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg in a useless performance). Then there’s an alien monster who threatens the world (so original). Toss in a few teasers of future DC Comics heroes (and their franchise flix). Of course, you’ve got to have brooding internal conflicts for drama. Of yes, and cram in a few big fights, none of which is special or exciting. Now you’ve got 2.5 hours of incoherent story, muddled action and disappointing cinema.
