“Batman
v Superman: Dawn of Justice” holds a rating of 29% positive on Rotten Tomatoes,
which equates to 1.5 stars. This is a movie that the majority of viewers did
not like. Yet the bad feedback hasn’t hurt box office performance.
So
far, the movie has pulled in over $170 million in North America, more than the
rest of the current box office chart combined.
Clearly,
no one was much deterred from seeing Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill duke it out
in the DC Comics universe. But why? Schadenfreude? Because it has Ben Affleck?
