Not angry, just sad I guess

Rating: 1/10 (24 March 2016)

I honestly can't believe how much this sucked. I'm genuinely sorry if you're someone involved in making this movie and reading this.
1. No way this is better than the Nolan trilogy. You're either part of the crew for BvS or high on crack cocaine if you think that.
2. No clear sense of what characters want, why they're upset, or what they're fighting about. I've read a few reviews on here and talked to a few friends and literally no one agrees or is aware what the central problem even was. For example in Lord of the Rings, the key conflict was destroying the ring in mordor. If you tried to pin down the central conflict of BvS, you couldn't do it and everyone would give you different answers.
3. This movie suffered the same weird pacing issues as Man of Steel from a few years ago. The plot would start to get going and then the momentum would be infuriatingly slowed. It was torture. The beginning was OK with a few action sequences and then there's like 45 minutes of vague and super annoying character development
4. I think a huge issue I have with this mostly is that they weren't faithful to the logline/premise "batman fearing superman is going too far", and I wasn't entirely clear on what the actual motivations or stakes were for the 2 heroes and the villain. Superman seemed to be just as irritated at Batman, for what it's worth, so I don't entirely get why that wasn't in the logline. It might seem like I'm being nitpicky, but for screenwriters it's crucial to be faithful to the logline. It creates a clean structure and story for the movie, and it was severely lacking here.
5. "Martha!!" Lol
6. How lame were the female roles? I mean this is 2016 and Lois Lane constantly needing to be saved still. She's supposed to be all badass and smart, and Amy Adams was seriously awesome in her acting but she worked with what she had.
7. Wonder Woman should've been a surprise, hidden from the marketing, and given more screen time. Everyone liked her in reviews and was the only legit applause in the Thursday screening I went to.
8. Lex Luthor didn't really do anything that evil beyond cookie cutter villain moves, like capturing superman's mom. And maybe I missed it but what was Lex's beef with batman anyways? I don't recall them even meeting while Bruce Wayne is in costume. And Lex's purpose for messing with superman is to show how he's not divine or something? What benefit does that even give him? Who does he care?...
9. What the hell was that final battle scene? Like superman is stabbing that big krypton Orc/teenage mutant ninja turtle with a hand bone knife or something? Lol
10. I didn't feel they explored the 2 places well-I have no sense of where Gotham and Metropolis are. It seems like they're just kind of across a lake
11.Opportunities for suspense were missed. Everyone knows that superman's mom wouldn't die, that batman and superman wouldn't truly hurt each other, and that basically everything would work out OK.
12. I didn't sense any danger, didn't feel heart pounding thrills, was unclear on why characters were doing things, and felt the dialog was flat and melodramatic and obvious. Everything in this movie has been done in every other superhero movie and nothing was risky or original.
13. I am paying hard earned money to see a movie. I don't care about the setup for the rest of the Justice League. That is for those movies, once they're out, to handle with grace and intelligence. So take your source material and create an actual movie that stands on its own and maybe I'll come back to see your justice league movies. Maybe.
This will probably make a ton of money despite all of this. I was super excited to see it and even went alone when my date fell through. I'm just sad.
I really liked Wonder Woman even though she wasn't emphasized enough IMHO.
