Zack Snyder's: Batman V Superman - Dawn of Justice

I thoroughly enjoy this movie
Give this movie a try even though it’s highly controversial & bashed Superman/Batman movie because it’s actually very good & highly entertaining.Superman is more experienced in this sequel & Batman is a ruthless & seasoned vigilante. This absolutely Batman is scary & combat proficient.The ultimate edition opens 30 hours of extra story & it clears a lot of loopholes left out in theatrical release.Sound track is amazing & pacing for the most part is on the spot. Highly recommended. One of my favorite superhero movie.

GREAT STEELBOOK - GREAT ULTIMATE EDITION!
All the harsh criticism aside, this is a film that I personally enjoyed. Sure, I watched the theatrical version before the Extended one, but while I enjoyed the theatrical version, I simply loved the stuff they have added in the Ultimate Edition and the way the extra 30 minutes add up to the film's overall quality and impact. It's superb and definitely a must watch if you love the movie. Even if you are one of those who came out a little confused and unsatisfied with the theatrical cut, I would suggest you to give the Ultimate Edition a chance as it might change the way you see this movie and might make you appreciate it all over again! That's how well the "Ultimate Edition" works!Now, coming to the Steelbook. Well it has both the theatrical and The Ultimate Edition and the theatrical edition Disc contains all the bonus features as well. The Video quality is great and as for the Sound Quality, well it is simply awesome and worthy of doing justice to your home theater system or your AV receiver!The Theatrical cut has Hindi audio available but not the Ultimate Edition.All in all...highly recommended!

Weaker story
Story could have been made stronger, saying this with respect to other batman movies, characters seemed less intellectual and intelligent, there wasn't really any strong reason for both of them to fight I guess

wrong description: not a 3D version of the movie
In the image, it's evident that the 3D inscription is absent from the cover. It appears likely that the version displayed on the Amazon store has been digitally altered to include the 3D print. I even checked the accompanying movie to confirm it wasn't a printing error, but there was no 3D disc included. This discrepancy is yet another disappointing experience from this seller.

Truly an epic clash - Batman V Superman
This movie sequel to the movie "Man of Steel" is excellent including an epic clash between Batman & Superman - Totally awesome, With a totally new take on Superman played by Henry Cavill & Ben Affleck as the new Batman the movie (after the excellent Batman Trilogy) also gives hint on the new future Justice League members & introduces Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Villain Lex Luthor played excellently well by actor Jesse Eisenberg. The movie is very fast paced with awesome action, mindblowing special effects, Kept me at the edge of my seat. Truly a must watch for DC Comics fan. Also I got this DVD at an amazing price.

Great Dolby Atmos sound
I had bought this BD disk for checking out my Dolby Atmos setup. There were 2 versions given - a thetre length, and a longer Director's Cut - I rand the latter. It was a great sounding movie - the whole room filled up with sound, with great effects. The picture (1080p) is crystal clear. Overall a good buy.

So many variants to choose from, but no definitive edition.
There are 5 variants of the Batman v Superman Blu-ray released on 22/7/2016. From what I information I got from Sony DADC, those are :-1) 1 Disc Edition with the Theatrical version + 2 hours of Bonus Features (Retailing at 1299)2) 2 Disc 3d Edition with 3d Theatrical version with no extras on Disc 1 and Ultimate Edition extended version with no extras on Disc 2 (Retailing at 1499)3) 2 Disc Ultimate Edition with Ultimate Edition extended version with no extras on Disc 1 and Theatrical version + 2 hours of Bonus Features on Disc 2 (Retailing at 1499)4) 2 Disc 3d Steelbook Edition with 3d Theatrical version with no extras on Disc 1 and Ultimate Edition extended version with no extras on Disc 2 (Retailing at 1999)5) 2 Disc Ultimate Edition Steelbook Edition with Ultimate Edition extended version with no extras on Disc 1 and Theatrical version + 2 hours of Bonus Features on Disc 2 (Retailing at 1999)Additionally there is an Ultra HD blu-ray available in other countries with Ultimate Edition extended version in 4k on Disc 1 and Theatrical version + 2 hours of Bonus Features in HD on Disc 2.There is no way to get the bonus features and 3d in one pack which is a little disappointing, but atleast we have an option to buy the superior extended cut of the movie.

BvS is great, wish both Ultimate and Theatrical editions come together in a single disc with scene selections though :(
This product review is for the "Batman v Superman 3D" Steelbook Theatrical EditionProduct: I have no idea why Sony DADC wanted to release a theatrical edition copy in India, and that too in a steelbook and add 3D to it!The steelbook edition comes with 2 discs, 3D and 2D and obviously the 2D disc containing the special features.Movie Review: Am a DC fanboy, no kidding. I loved the movie and the treatment Zack snyder is setting up for these characters, unlike how MARVEL is ruining its universe with less character focus and more CGI mashups.Blu Ray review: 3D and 2D treatments are stellar, dont want to bore you with video and sound specs(google it) but I can say the two sided steelbook is quite impressive.Price: I bought this edition from a daily deal which set me up at Rs. 999/-, so I would gladly say its worth it.P.S. I also have the 100 Gig 4K version of the movie from Amazon UK but dont have a player to play it, but thats definitely a must buy!

Excelente presentacion.
Una edición remasterizada con los colores corregidos de la versión anterior.Vale la pena una segunda compra?Depende de que tanto notes los errores en la edición normal.Los cambios son mas notorios en el color rojo, como por ejemplo en lo rojizo del fuego durante explosiones como en las escenas de la pelea final.El segundo cambio es en la relación de aspecto que cuenta ahora con las escenas filmadas en IMAX, que es aproximadamente unos 20 minutos de la película. Pero ojo, aquí (al igual que en ZS Justice League) se usa el formato IMAX de cine y no el casero, el cual usa el cuadro completo de la imagen y nos da las barras negras a los lados. (aquí anexare una imagen la cual se puede ver cada relación de aspecto, la izquierda es la relación de la primera versión usada en el 4K y Blu ray FHD, la del centro es la relación de aspecto IMAX casera que se suele ver en la películas de Nolan, y la de la derecha es la usada en esta nueva versión y la misma que se uso en ZS Justice League)Toda la película al igual que la primera versión esta masterizada en 4K nativo, la diferencia siendo las escenas IMAX que obviamente tienen una resolución espectacular, pudiendo ver cada detalle y con una claridad simplemente increíble.El sonido es el mismo increíble codec Atmos que se uso en la versión anterior, el cual puede ser usado como material de demostración.La presentación física es muy básica, sin Slipcover y con un solo disco y el código para la versión digital.Ojala les ayude a decidir si volver a comprar.

Much better than it gets credit for
Batman vs. Superman was in part a sequel to Man of Steel and in part, a setup for The Justice League movie, introducing the new DCEU versions of Batman (played by Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot), and via short cameos the new Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Mamoa), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher). It also brought back Amy Adams in her role as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, and brought in Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.I won't go into too much of the storyline so as not to spoil it for the few who may not have seen the movie, but it essentially dovetails off the end of Man of Steel in which Metropolis was destroyed in the climactic fight between Superman and Zod. We see that battle from the perspective of Bruce Wayne who is trying to get to Wayne Financial to get his employees out of the building. This sets up his distrust of Superman, and then there is an 18-month time jump and Batman is becoming more violent which gets him on Superman's radar, and with Lex orchestrating things in the background, the two end up in battle, until they have to team up.The movie gets ragged on a lot, undeservedly so, in my opinion. It is clearly setting up a larger story and has to be seen as a piece in a multi-movie arc. While I do think it would have been better for DC to follow the Marvel format of setting up the characters in individual movies before bringing them together, so there would not have been so many logic jumps as this movie took, the plot does make sense (especially after you see it a couple of times), and the darker tone that Snyder used for the movie (really all the movies in his "Snyderverse" worked well. And, of course, when Joss Whedon attempted to shoehorn his brand of humor that worked in the MCU into the DCEU, it totally fell flat and was universally rejected.For those who get the blu-ray set, there are two blu-ray discs. One with the theatrical cut of the movie and the bonus features, and one with the Ultimate Edition of the movie that adds about 30 additional minutes to the run time. Some of the scenes are kind of useless, but others really flesh out how much Lex had put the events of the movie into motion. The extras included several behind-the-scenes and making-of features, character profiles for Wonder Woman and Batman, and shorter ones on the characters of Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg. All, in all, there is about two hours' worth of extras, so those who like watching the bonus material will be satisfied.Also of note, there is a 4k version of the Ultimate Edition of the movie that does not include the theatrical version or any of the blu-ray extras, so even if you double-dip for that one, you probably want to hold on to this version unless you are only interested in the movie and just want the Ultimate Edition of the movie. The 4k version just has the movie itself and a commentary track that Snyder made just for the 4k restoration as the only extra. In his commentary, he does spoil his version of Justice League (identifying Martian Manhunter, for example) and generally discusses his vision for where the movies would have gone had he stayed on. The movie looks and sounds great (especially the restored IMAX scenes) in 4k UHD, and is, in my opinion, worth the double-dip.Overall, the movie is very good. Dark, but good, and it makes a lot of sense. I do think it could have used a better setup through a stand-alone Batman movie first to establish this version of Batman, and what turned him into the more jaded version of the character. I also think this movie would have benefitted from DC releasing the stand-alone Wonder Woman movie first to set her backstory. However, I do think that her extended cameo in this movie worked and was one of the reasons that the Wonder Woman movie did so well at the box office because viewers liked the taste of the character in this movie. But, despite the reputation it has as a bad movie, it is not. Affleck did a great job as an older, more jaded Batman, and I liked the idea of Batman trying to figure out how to stop an unstoppable alien. By now, however, the movie has been out long enough that people have their opinion of it. If you have not seen it, I would definitely give it a chance because it is not nearly as bad as some would have you believe.

Better version
This Zack Snyder cut is the way it should have been shown in theaters. Very happy with the ultimate edition

La edición definitiva.
Comparando lado a lado la versión que salió en el 2016 junto a esta los cambios saltan de inmediato, el color es más natural en esta edición que en la del 2016 donde todo se ve con colores más cálidos (amarillos y rojos); la definición también es otra gran modificación, mientras que la película del 2021 se ve más nítida, la del 2016 se ve un tanto "borrosa" y con mucho grano, y qué decir de las escenas IMAX que, aunque son pocas las secuencias que aparecen en este formato no dejan de ser una delicia para los ojos. No trae doblaje en latino, pero sí viene subtitulada. No cuenta con ningún extra. ALTAMENTE RECOMENDABLE SI SON FANS DEL GÉNERO Y DE LA PROPUESTA DE SNYDER.

Flawed, but Ultimately Enjoyable, DC Film Universe Entry.
Well, I get that this film panned by a lot of folks... but I suspect that much of that comes down to the "Coke versus Pepsi" style argument, where "if it's not Marvel, it sucks."I should point out that I've been a comic reader for many years... though I finally bailed on DC when they did their most recent "reboot" ("The New 52"). I haven't bought any in quite a few years now, and had pared down to almost nothing before that. So, my knowledge of "current comics" may be a bit sparse, but of historical comics (from the 1960s through the early 2000's) is fairly complete. The only stuff I've been following in recent times has been Robert Kirkland's "Walking Dead" series.So... let's just say, I didn't have the expectations that some folks did when going into these films (Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice). I was VERY pleased with "Man of Steel" (which I consider to be a 9/10 rating, with the main issues being the terrible "Pa Kent" bit which failed to ruin the film but did taint it a bit).I'd heard that folks didn't like this film, in advance... and to be fair, my wife tells me she hated it, so I get where these are coming from. :)But... to me, this was a pretty good film, overall... though I've marked it down a star for being TERRIBLY derivative... in the sense that "they borrowed scenes, intact, from a series of other stories."To anyone who knows the story of "The Dark Knight Returns"... much of this story is lifted, DIRECTLY, from that. (There's an animated film version of that story now, so you can go watch that, and compare... and see how much of this is taken from that.) And, of course, more of it is lifted from the classic "The Death of Superman" story arc, as well, which many of us will remember. More still is taken from one of the more modern retellings of how the Justice League was formed. And we get a healthy dollop of Apocalypse (not the biblical concept, but the extradimensional world ruled by Darkseid and opposed by Jack Kirby's "New Gods"), complete with Darkseid's "Parademons" being shown on-screen, and Darkseid's "Omega" symbol on the scorched Earth.So... what the makers of this film tried to do was lift some of the best, most beloved, story elements from many sources and blend them into a single, coherent storyline.And... they actually do a pretty decent job of it. I'm marking it down for them trying to do that in the first place, but giving them credit for doing something that they shouldn't have done, but doing it in the best way possible.The REALLY GOOD in this film...All of the main "superhero" characters are very well portrayed. I was worried about Affleck, but he did a fine job here. Plus, we get glimpses of other superhero characters who we, no doubt, will see a lot more of later (Cyborg, Aquaman, The Flash, and even, it's hinted at, the Martian Manhunter). We didn't see any hint of Green Lantern... mainly because after the mistakes made in the GL movie a few years ago, they're no doubt planning how to fix that without violating the principle tenets of the character. No doubt that we'll see him, in some form, in the next film in the series.And the bits "borrowed" from other works... are "well-borrowed" and are, on their own individual merits, quite good.The "OK"...The portrayal of Doomsday wasn't quite up to snuff. It was just another "Deus Ex Machina" here... reasonably well-done but Doomsday should have warranted an entire movie all to itself. Making Doomsday a "reanimated zombie of General Zod" felt a bit... weird... but I could live with that.Amy Adams' Lois Lane remains... OK. But she's still pretty bland. I prefer the Lois we got in Smallville over all others we've seen to date. Lois needs more attitude, but needs to seem utterly competent. And please, no more "Teri Hatcher" versions... nice as she may have been to look at.And... the BAD...Yes, the story is too derivative, as stated before. That's the biggest issue I have with this film, by far.AND...The Lex Luthor character in this film wasn't good. I get it... they wanted to make this "relevant to today" by giving us a "founder of facebook" character rather than the classic "mad scientist" or the more recent "business tycoon" versions we've had before. The problem is, this particular version of Lex simply seemed WEAK, and ILL DEFINED.Again, Lex really needed a film all to himself, or perhaps multiple films, in order to get to the point we're left at in this film... and we've never had that with this particular Lex, so none of what he does in this film has any real weight to it.Oh... and my final quibble... BATMAN DOES NOT USE GUNS. It's not that he's morally incapable of it... he's PSYCHOLOGICALLY INCAPABLE OF IT, as in "guns horrify and disgust him." Now, you could argue that (as was done in "The Dark Knight Returns") he has no issue with RUBBER bullets... bruising and otherwise injuring, but not killing, his targets. But in this case, we see him mowing down opponents with machine guns, with their vehicles exploding (and them OBVIOUSLY being killed).To be fair... in reality, a figure like "Batman" could never operate successfully without killing. (Which is why, in reality, a figure like "Batman" should never exist!) And perhaps the filmmakers wanted to put this more firmly into the real world? But this is such a HUGE deviation from the Batman of the comics that it's just beyond accepting that this is the same character.(FYI, this was an issue with the Tim Burton Batman films of decades past, as well... but something that the Nolan films got right! Batman will put you into the intensive care ward, but he doesn't kill.)
