Over-hyped, just a mess in a lot of ways

Rating: 5/10 (8 April 2016)

So I saw this movie opening night in IMAX 3D with my friend, and whilst he walked out fairly impressed because of this young boy habit where story does not matter but awesome fight scenes are your top priority, I knew this film had underachieved. Now let me say that I loved Ben as batman, Alfred too, and Henry was not too bad but I felt as though he was just too emotionless for superman, regardless of the situation. Lois lane just bored me...again...and just like Wonder Woman I felt there was no need for her in this movie. I also think that doomsday deserved more screen time, and a new make over. The problem is that there are too many stories in this movie trying to create one whole story, and it just gets confusing. I felt like the only person who had a reason for anything was lex Luther because he was annoyed at batman for stealing from him and he pinned superman up against him. I can understand batman's reason as well, but again, if he had simply just shut up and listened to superman trying to explain what Luthor was doing, there would be no reason for this!!!! I felt like the whole argument for them fighting was so silly because it could be sorted with a click of the fingers and I believe they should have focused there time on a more reasonable argument for a fight. Also I'd just like to mention that whilst I did love Ben as batman, I felt that scene at the start where his parents die, should have not been included as its pointless and I felt no emotion during this, although it looked kinda nice and was shot well but considering it's the old, retired batman, I'd appreciate a little back story on him.
