Layman review: Affleck is not the problem

Rating: 3/10 (6 August 2018)

I didn't bother to watch "Batman V Superman," because I heard nothing good about it. But most of the criticism I heard was about Ben Affleck's acting.
Tonight, I decided to watch "Justice League," and I really enjoyed it. And I thought Ben Affleck actually did a good job as an aging Bruce Wayne/Batman. So, afterward I decided I would give "Batman V Superman" a shot.
It was bad... I mean, really bad...
but not because of Ben Affleck. It was mostly due to the atrocious story line, poor writing, and mediocre direction. Again, I don't think Affleck did a bad job. The script was absolutely horrible. And apparently the director didn't care enough, or didn't have the power to say "this sucks, fix it!"
I'm all for suspension of disbelief during a movie (hey, dudes can fly and have super powers)! But the whole premise of Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent hating each other was totally unbelievable! And then, all of the sudden, because Bruce hears his mother's name... they're best friends! :O
And if you want to pinpoint the worst acting/casting, it's definitely Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor! Really? This squeaky little douche is Lex Luthor? Sorry, I like Jesse Eisenberg in other things, but this was a poor casting choice. Maybe he'll do better in the next one (which there obviously will be).
Oh, and also to blame: the editor. Could've cut 20-30 minutes out and made it a slightly better movie.
