Half good, half worst thing ever put to screen

Rating: 5/10 (10 January 2019)

This is one of the most frustrating movies I have ever seen because there is stuff in it I love and there is stuff in it that I hate with a passion. I was a bit skeptical when I heard that Ben Affleck was going to play Batman/Bruce Wayne, but I was sold with his performance as soon as he came on screen. Henry Cavil was really good as Clark Kent/Superman too. My favorite scene in the movie was when Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne meet for the first time. Seeing them argue about Batman and Superman being threats rather than heroes was exactly what I wanted to see, but that scene was ruined the moment Jessie Eisenberg's poor excuse of a Lex Luther portrayal interrupts the conversation between Clark and Bruce. Jessie Eisenberg playing Lex Luther was the absolute worse casting of a comic book character I have ever seen, and I've seen Topher Grace's Venom portayal! They absolutely should not have had the Doomsday storyline because there already is way too much crammed into this movie. This movie also cheats the audience because even though it is almost a 3 hour movie, Batman and Superman only fight for about 5 minuets! Don't call the movie "Batman V Superman" if only about 3% of the movie is a fight between Batman and Superman. That's like if you changed the title of "Rocky IV" to "Paulie's Robot", it doesn't make sense because the robot is only in that movie for 2 or 3 brief scenes. The best metaphor to describe Batman V Superman is that it is a lot like the Batman cereal that came out when this movie did. The Batman cereal was chocolate-strawberry flavor and it did not taste good because there was way too much flavor going on clashing with other flavors. That is the best way to describe this movie! I give it 5 stars because there are 5 stars for everything that is good and 5 stars missing for everything that is bad.
