A review of BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE - Martha, Martha, Martha
149Dawn of Justice? More like YAWN of Justice. Heh??? Hey, don't look at me like that. Listen, it's difficult coming up with snippy text to put here, and I'm not even convinced you people even read this. That's right, I'm on to you... But anyway, this was my review of Batman v Superman: Dawn Justice (2016).
Notes:
*This was the first time I ever made a review using screencaps instead of footage of the thing I was reviewing. The reason I made this change was A) because editing unique b-roll footage was very time-consuming, and B) because using b-roll footage from shows and movies came with the very real threat of a copyright strike, and using screencaps was an ingenious way to get around it. The irony is that I decided to retain my tight editing style despite switching to screengrabs, and so this video wound up taking almost as long to put together as it would've if I had used footage. I couldn't help myself, hence why no screengrab is ever on screen for more than a few seconds.
*Funny story: the very first video review I ever made in general, as a sort of test run, was for Man of Steel, back in like 2014. It was unscripted and 40 minutes long and was just terrible. I refused to release it to the world, and I'm pretty sure I just deleted it at some point. But, I actually did incorporate some stylistic elements from that review into this one; the music that plays at the beginning and end was more or less lifted from that review. So... it was worth something, I guess.
*I came back to rewatch this review for the first time in 2021 and I had totally forgotten how crazy this movie is. The fact that the government said it was cool to drop a nuclear bomb on Metropolis because they said no citizens were still in it is just incredible.
*I made this video back when my username was not Velodus, and this video is probably the most awkward of all my videos in respect to my name change, given that I decided to refer to myself in the third person in this video on multiple occasions... and that's no longer my username. Whoops! But yep, it's Velodus now. Carry on.
