Horrible from the comic fan perspective.

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2016)

I have wanted to write this for some time, but as everyone was busy bashing the film from a film perspective, or defending it from a comic fan perspective, I thought i'd wait until it died down to write an honest and opened critic of the film.
To begin with it looks amazing, and I enjoy the overall dark tone. With that out of the way, the movie was horrible. The problem's don't stem from Zack Snyder, as most would argue, but rather from the writers.
Lex Luthur didn't seem like any interpretation of the character that I have ever read.He was zany and wacky, came across as a genius, but was not by any means of the word a charismatic con artist. This is the biggest fumble in my opinion. That would be like watching a batman movie and they get Joker wrong. We would burn them at the stake.
Batman/Bruce Wayne was not the world's greatest detective, in this film adaptation. The worlds greatest detective would have to go to Lex Luthur who was able to find all the main players of the justice league. The math that Bruce Wayne used as well with his, 1% chance being taken as an absolute certainty, is just faulty. This interpretation of the character lacks logic, and the character is all logic in the comics. Logic and heart. They made this character all mania and brawn.
Lastly, comic book stories are character driven, hence why getting the characters wrong is a big problem, but in this story the characters aren't very interesting, nor are they even coherent in their own narrative. It jumps back and forth way too much and thus doesn't give you the chance to care about any character.
This is a big problem for the DCEU.
