With charismatic performances and epic battle scenes, this unrelentingly serious start to a new DC Universe franchise is intriguing but also humorless and overdone.

Note: This review is of the PG-13 theatrical release the R-rated extended cut may contain additional content. Language is limited to a couple of uses of "s-t" and "damn," and adults drink wine and cocktails. There's some romance and passionate kisses between Clark and Lois (who live together) - one that takes place in a tub while she's taking a bath (her bare shoulders/legs are seen, as is a woman's bare back in another scene, as well as men's bare chests). The violence can be up close and personal: Characters' loved ones are captured at gun point, an entire room explodes, and people are shot execution style. As the two grow distrustful of each other, supervillain Lex Luthor ( Jesse Eisenberg) sets the stage for an even deadlier battle between the forces of good and a nearly unstoppable evil. Superman: Dawn of Justice is a dark, serious superhero drama that pits the titular DC comics characters - Batman ( Ben Affleck) and Superman ( Henry Cavill) - against each other, though ultimately the message is one of teamwork.
