The special effects

Comic book movies are full of incredible special effects, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War will, of course, be no different in that regard – and which movie’s special effects look the best could go a long way towards determining which movie gets the better reception.

There will be explosions galore and a lot of fantastic powers being thrown around – the number of super-powered characters in each movie ensures that this will be the case – so Warner Brothers and Marvel Studios will be hoping to outdo each other when it comes to how spectacular that all looks through the use of modern CGI.

Special effects technology these days is utterly incredible, so both movies are bound to look great, given their huge budgets. However, if one edges out the other on that front, it could be key to its success.

Of course, movies aren’t all about visuals, and this next point emphasizes that.
