Why Zach Synder Needs a Co director (Spoiler Alert) and the Pros and Cons of Batman vs Superman

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2016)

A lot of people say Zach Synder should be fired from directing the batman vs superman movie and the upcoming future DC movies. I don't believe that.
No other director could have made this movie look straight out of comic books like the way Zach did and that is why he should still be a director for the DC comic movies. But.....he needs help on telling the story and that is why Warner Brothers should have hired two directors.
Zach is great at creating action sequences, set designs, and picking the right costumes but he is NOT good at telling the story. This is where a second director could come in handy for having the responsibility of creating the storyline.
What Zach did that met my Expectations: 1. The movie showed the consequence of superman and zod's fight from the "man of steel". This served as a valid motivation for Batman wanting to fight Superman.
2. The live action fight sequence between batman and superman was just as epic as the fight in the DC Animated movie - Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 (2013).
3. The fight sequence between superman and doomsday looked just as good as the fight in the DC animated movie Superman: Doomsday (2007).
4. Ben Affleck is the best overall batman. He embodied Bruce Wayne and has the best fight scenes i have ever seen from any of the batman movies so far.
5. They get right to the point in showing that Lois Lane and Superman are in a relationship instead of making it long and drawn out for them to get together like they did in the 1980 superman movies 6. Superman is killed. Some people will be upset with this part, but it was done in the comics. Kudos to Zach for having the balls to actually kill superman in the movie. In the end however you can tell superman will be back because they show the dirt rise above his coffin indicating he may be alive.
With that being said, the direction of the story is where Zach fell flat and below is a list of items where a second director to work alongside of Zach could have improved the story: 1. The Batman vs Superman movie did not explain why Lex Luthor hated superman in this movie.
2. Jesse Eisenberg was incorrectly cast for the part of Lex Luthor and Zach missed the mark in realizing that Jesse would have been perfect in acting the part of the Riddler in a future batman movie. During the movie, Jesse sounded and walked like the Riddler.
3. Batmans parents being shot was a waste of movie time. This sequence should not have done as we all know how batman's parents died. If that scene was cut, more screen time could have been created and used to explain why Lex Luthor hated batman.
4. Superman agrees to meet with the senator to discuss the casualties that occurred in a scene where he rescued Lois Lane. There are people that clearly hate superman for the lives lost and buildings destroyed in the fight between him and zod. The movie shows people doubt superman's character. After superman dies from the doomsday fight, a funeral is given for him and magically the public changes their opinion of him. I think they rushed the public changing opinion and could have thought of something more creative.
5. Despite liking gal gadot as wonder woman, i believe she and several scenes in the movie should have been used as an after credit scene once the movie ended. Wonder Woman's character was forced into this movie because a video of her and separate videos for each of the members of the justice league were found by batman from Lex Luthors lab. Wonder woman should not have been used in the doomsday fight sequence even tho she did look cool in it.
The flash has a scene in the movie where he briefly appears to batman showing superman turning evil in the future because Lois died. I think this scene would have been better if it was slightly changed and put as a post credit after the movie ended.
The scenes i mentioned for point 5, should have been used for after credits once the movie ended in the following manner: Batman finds the pictures of the justice league on lex luthor's computer. Just as batman finds the justice league pictures, the flash appears to him showing dark seid with his back to the camera so we cant see how dark seid looks and an evil superman appears with red eyes(5 seconds), then a very short 40 second sequence where wonder woman leads the charge of the other justice league members fighting evil superman and some of them get wounded from superman's eye lasers and punches leaving uncertainty if the wounded justice league members die at superman's hand because the scene cuts off. If that would have been created as a post credit, so much hype would have been created for the upcoming wonder woman and justice league movie
Maybe this movie doesn't deserve a 10 and more of an 8 but I give this movie a high rating because overall i enjoyed it, it accomplished to me what the title of the movie is, and the things i mentioned that could have been fixed do not take away from the fact its still a good movie. Everyone is entitled to a opinion but its sad that some people are giving this movie a one when it does not deserve a one and you can tell zach put a lot of heart into making this movie have the comic book feel and the actors did a great job.
