12 Movie Moments That Pissed Off Fans The Most In 2016
1. "Save Martha!" - Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
You can practically see the lightbulb that went off over the head of the screenwriter for Dawn Of Justice the instant he realised Batman and Superman – the two mortal enemies - share mothers with the same first name.
What better way is there to bridge the gap between man and god? In theory it’s not a bad idea, but execution is everything. Sad to say, but Batman V Superman’s execution of this pivotal moment is badly botched. You have Batman – armed with a kryptonite spear – about to slay Superman, who starts begging him to save Martha, and for some reason giving no context for who that is until Lois Lane spells it out.
If this key moment was pulled off with some more grace it could have worked fine, but it’s eye rollingly dumb as presented, and has since become a widely mocked moment.
