Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

☆☆☆
+
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is the engaging story (with a few surprises) of Superman (Henry Cavill) saving Lois Lane (Amy Adams)...but killing innocent people in the process. The citizens of Gotham (including Bruce Wayne/Batman) begin to see Superman as a threat to the people until The Man of Steel steps in to deal with Lex Luthor (excellent performance by Jesse Eisenberg).

Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill give solid performances as Batman and Superman respectfully.
-
The story has issues.

Hello, My Name is Doris

☆☆☆☆
+
"Hello, My Name is Doris" is the enjoyable and touching story of Doris Miller (award winning performance by Sally Field)...a senior citizen who falls for her company's new and very young art director.
Max Greenfield (art director) holds his own and gives a solid performance.
-
Yes...the story (and Doris) are a little quirky...but worth the trip to the theater.
