25.) Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice [3/25/2016]

I fully expected to hate this movie.  Superman: Man of Steel made me uncontrollably angry, and the previews made it seem like 70% of the film was set in the rain for some reason.  The new line of DC movies, unlike their line of TV shows, is unremittingly sad, having sucked the whimsy from superheroes in favor of dark, gritty, and brooding.  BvS:DoJ continued down that road, with sad Superman fighting sad Batman in the rain.  Then dark, muted Wonder Woman joined in when the left-over CGI from the Turtles reboot was unleashed on the city by Lex Luthor (played by Jesse Eisenberg, a low-rent, poor-man's version of Heath Ledger's Joker).  It wasn't great.  It wasn't even good.  Somehow, though, it was better than I expected.
