I don't understand why DC chose Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan for these films. The result is great action sequences, but the plot ultimately suffers. Sure, the movies all look cool, but any good movie isn't something watched, it's experienced.
The dialogue, while unique in the Dark Knight, it got old rather fast in Dark Knight Rises, and still having to bear the overly important "symbolic" monologuing, it only worked for Alfred IMHO and everyone else doing this is just forced.
The main issue with this movie in particular is that it did not deliver to the hype, not only that it really makes inconsistencies with already long established characters. Batman AND Superman do NOT kill, Hell, DC's morality for their Heroes has a super double standard, example being that Green Arrow once killed a Villian who just got done wiping half of a city's population, and HE goes to jail for it, it's that extreme.
One question in being, why the hell is Lex Luthor in this if they didn't get the basics of character right? Lex is rather complex, being level headed and charismatic, his evil is usually on his own agenda and he has done his fair share of good to add to his deceiving nature, he's really only a villain because of his beef with superman. He is NOT Jesse Eisenberg's Joker nor Jesse Eisenberg's Jim Carry Riddler, FFS Villains are the best thing DC has going for it, often written better than the Heroes (when they are good that is).
Another major retarded thing is trying to merge all of these stories that would have better off standalone. Death of Superman and Dark Knight Returns were great, but trying to cram them into a single story is just stupid.
Dark Knight Returns segments are rather dumb, why not just write the movie in mind that shit has happened? The Animated movies are great because it doesn't cram re-establishment down your throats, It would have been nice to have an established Superman and an re-re-re-re-re-re-established Batman already know each other. The time frame of this movie is bonkers, shit doesn't escalate that fast especially when you're trying to already establish things, better way of putting it is that you cannot checkmate after the first Knight has moved, all the pieces have to be in place first before the move can be logically done.
Death of Superman segments are a clear example of Never learning shit from others' failures. When Spiderman 3 bombed it should have been a clear indicator that lights should go off saying "Hey, maybe we shouldn't try cramming so much shit in a movie at once" guess what, NOPE! Let's "kill" off superman with Superboy Doomsday in the very next movie BUT IT'S OKAY!, We've made it more than obvious that a sequel is planned AND best of all, We're making it blatantly obvious that Superman isn't dead.
In short, Batman vs. Superman is just every other comic book movie, filled with the same old shit you've seen in previous movies, great action though, but more effort is put on making a sequel rather than actually making this shit worth a sequel in the first place.
Why is it so hard to make a Comic book movie a standalone thing? We know there are about 5 sequels a year, why not just make this worth our time rather than wasting it and putting up a teaser of what you may thing will be great.... but does the exact same shit? Honestly, I'm done with comic book movies. Some are still good, but it's really a dime a dozen nowadays.
