You want to know why people are trashing DC movies?

Rating: 1/10 (12 September 2016)

It's because the DC movies side of things doesn't care about their characters. At all.
This movie shows it in the most obvious way. To date in the DC universe, there are only 2 characters that in my opinion have been done justice. Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn (even though I have my problems with Harley Quinn being a sex symbol but whatever).
Let me spell this out for you DC:
Superman doesn't kill. He's all about hope and going out of his way to do the right thing. As it's been said before, his battle isn't a physical "do I have enough strength" one...it's "am I doing the right thing?". Batman doesn't kill, mercilessly no less. You really thought it was a good idea to have him pancake somebody with a car? Or use a gun? Lex Luthor is not Mark Zuckerburg on acid. Is it supposed to be unsettling that he puts a Jolly Rancher in someone's mouth? It's just stupid. And most likely the worst offender of all (I know this is a different movie), the Joker. Wow. If I've ever seen a character not done correctly, this is it. Joker doesn't need a grill or a tattoo. He doesn't just simply try to be as random as possible. Deadpool tries to be as random as possible, but that fits his character. Joker is definitely unpredictable, but always in a way where he works the system towards himself. Heath Ledger got it right, Jared Leto is stupid.
As far as the movie is concerned, how do you have a movie with so much, and yet so little? Why is this 2 and a half hours? There are all of I think 3 fight scenes I can remember (the intro if you can count that, the car chase and Doomsday). Why is Zack Snyder so obsessed with making everything so mopey and hopeless? The ironic thing is that Civil War is absolutely a class course in how to do a "Superhero vs Superhero" movie correctly. It's full of action, everyone plays their character perfectly, there's humor, there's intensity and drama at the same time, and the story makes sense. Marvel just showed you up, DC.
Also there are an INSANE amount of plot holes in this movie. The Martha scene is stupid, I shouldn't have to ask if Superman's best friend (Jimmy Olsen) was in the movie or not and if he lived or not, why does Batman say "I thought she was with you" regarding Wonder Woman when he emailed her all that information anyways?
I won't be going to see Justice League, and I want to punch Zack Snyder in the face.
