Overly ambitious for its own good.. Batman was portrayed decently but written horribly

Rating: 5/10 (25 March 2016)

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Truly an emotional roller-coaster.. although in the end, not the good kind. !!! SPOILER ALERT !!!
*early production* "This is supposed to be good.. but Man of Steel was kind of disappointing..I dunno.."
*early trailer* "Owgh hells yez Supes gon' BLEED!"
*later trailer* "Now why would they show the main villain in the trailer??? It looks troll-ish too... meh..this is going to be clichÃ©.."
*latest trailer* "HOLY S*** now THAT'S the way Batman is supposed to fight! Can't wait!"
*early screening* "Wow early reviews are OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE! Gotta watch it ASAP!"
*after watching* As much as I tried to like it... I couldn't.
Now Batman is my favorite superhero, and I think Ben Affleck made a decent portrayal of the caped crusader. He was the only redeeming quality of the movie. The batmobile and batwing were SICK, and the fight scene against the minor baddies was the best ever portrayed in a Batman movie. Although to my disappointment, there was only one. Singular. You know, the one they showed in the trailer (which turned out to be 80% of the whole fight already :/). That's it. He was agile, brutal, and gadget-savvy, unlike the stiff wooden brawler shown in Nolan's version. But damn it, if you make Batman into a trigger- happy sadist, even the most benign of fans will disapprove. With random characters randomly blurted out that the final fight had no civilian casualty (the movie was disturbingly self- conscious about this), it makes Batman's body count higher even than the main villain himself. What's worse, the main motivation to the big clash against Supes is very poor compared to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns - the director's supposed source of inspiration. It started out very well with Batman anticipating the potential danger to earth presented by Superman, but as the story progressed, the ultimate trigger to the big fight became purely blind anger, mostly caused by Luthor's ploy. What, you're telling me that the world's greatest detective couldn't tell that he's being played? Blasphemy. Even worse, they made Batman into this helpless supporting hero in the climactic final act. BLASPHEMY.
Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor was over the top, annoyingly twitchy, and more along the line of eccentric Joker wannabe instead of the supposed cold, calculating, and genius businessman.
Another disturbing quality is that the filmmakers focused on the Dawn of Justice too much and lost sight on the Batman vs Superman part.. I guess WB got too greedy and impatient in following the footsteps of Marvel. Wonder Woman could've been omitted from the final cut and it would've made little difference. The other Justice League members were forcibly squeezed into the plot (with the exception of future- Flash's appearance, which was effectively placed when I still had some interest in the plot). None of the elegance of Marvel's teasers and easter eggs. In this matter, DC has a S***LOAD to learn from Marvel.
Now I love 300, and Watchmen is one of my favorite superhero movies. Sucker Punch was good. But after MoS and BvS.. I'm losing faith in Zack Snyder, and with that, in every DC movie that comes after this.
