The cast and crew behind Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice are responding to the negative movie reviews.
If you’re reading reviews to see whether Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is worth your $20 and your time, you’re probably extremely confused. A handful of people kind of loved it, while others thought it was complete garbage.

The varied reviews have even reached the cast and crew, causing them to respond to the reviews directly, once and for all.
Henry Cavill, who portrays Superman in the film, told Yahoo!:
“The interesting thing is that we get the critics who have their personal opinions. And the thing about personal opinions is that they always come from a place. And there’s a preconceived idea which you have to get past a critic before you start writing your article or your review, and that affects everything.
“What is really going to matter, I believe, is what the audience says. Because they’re the ones who are buying tickets, they’re the ones who want to see more of this kind of story or not and so the audience’s voice is loudest and after this weekend the audience, at least partly, will have spoken.”
Amy Adams, on the other hand, offered her opinion:
“I know that Zack [Snyder] doesn’t make the movies — or none of us — are making the movies for the critics. You can’t go into it with that perspective. I know we really hope the fans like it and so far the reaction has been really positive on that front.”
Director Zack Snyder fired back with this:
“I’m a comic book guy and I made the movie as much as I can on that aesthetic.”
I guess the best thing you can do is to watch the movie for yourself and make your own opinion. If anything, just so you know what everyone else is talking about on Monday morning.
