A sand-whipped desert is perhaps unavoidably noisy, while I noted significant grain in some scenes but not others. The action-and a lot of standing around talking-was captured onĪ variety of film and digital media, and the 2.4:1 image is for the most part superbly clean, as when Metropolis is awash in a thick cloud of white dust with nary an artifact in sight. The characters are all missing something, the plot grows tiresome, and the end result is profoundly unsatisfying. The main event doesn’t start for more than two hours, and while the story has an operatic sense of drama in the best and worst ways, this incredibly overblown, overdone movie lacks a basic sense of reasonable pacing. Batman (Ben Affleck), a native who witnessed the devastation unleashed in Man of Steel, blames Supes and sees him as a threat to all mankind, egged on by young mastermind Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg). Superman (Henry Cavill) is still bemoaning his sad fate, living as a covert god among men, while politicians and pundits debate his role So where’s the thrill? The awe? The “wow,” dammit? Let’s focus on the expanded three-hour Ultimate Edition featured in this set, also available separately on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, along with director Zack Snyder’s other two DC forays, Man of Steel and Watchmen. Dawn of Justice brings together the entire trinity of DC Universe heroes, arguably the most enduring characters of 20th-century popular culture.
