Can't decide whether this is a good film or not.

Rating: Null/10 (29 March 2016)

I just saw this movie on IMAX and I present my following review not as a decision-helper for those who didn't see it yet but as an evaluation for those who saw it and who enjoy reading others' opinions about the movies they saw.
Let me start with saying that I love Superman and Batman, read a lot of their comics, watched a lot of their cartoons and movies. The recent versions of Batman trilogy by Nolan and Man of Steel in my opinion were pretty good movies and I like watching them every now and then a lot.
I am not a professional movie critic, so I can't evaluate a movie based on its technical details such as how the story or the script is constructed, character development, cinematography or other details I am not aware of. I evaluate movies based on some simple questions that I ask to myself:

Did I regret paying to watch this movie? Actually, I couldn't decide but to be honest, I wouldn't have paid to see it if I knew what I was going to see. Maybe not a 100% regret (like The Martian) but I kinda wish I didn't.

Once the movie was over, did I want to watch it again on the large screen? Definitely no. (A couple of movies that made me want to re-watch immediately after first viewing was LoTR series, Avatar, Inception, TDKR, MoS, Interstellar, Mad Max FR)

Did I want to watch it again on blu-ray or something? Doesn't really matter. No remarkable scenes or characters, no engaging story or theme, no emotions that made me want to see it again.

Was the movie boring in general or at specific times? The movie was not boring in general but I felt a loss of connection with what I was watching from time to time, which usually never happens in movies that I loved.

Was the soundtrack/music of the movie good, something that you would always remember? Other than the soundtrack pieces from Man of Steel, this movie's soundtrack was all over the place and even disturbing at times. If I ever try to remember the music of this movie, I will remember the music of Man of Steel (I love it), which in my opinion was not well used in this one.

Did the movie have a soul? I wish it did, in fact at some moments it made me feel like it almost did but it did not.

Did the movie have an interesting, gripping story? Absolutely not. I don't have a clear idea why anything took place in this movie took place. It felt like a lot of small pieces of stories were merged without a proper development and transition. For example, Batman changing his mind from killing Superman and becoming best friends after he hears Superman's mother's name which is also his mother's name was a very weak transition in my opinion.

Any specific details you feel that lacked in this movie? The introduction of Wonder Woman was very poor in my opinion. The introduction of the Joker and Catwoman from the previous Batman movies were much more interesting. I like Jesse Eisenberg but I didn't like him as Lex Luthor. It was almost annoying to see him in his scenes. Didn't do a good job in portraying a villain in my opinion, or I should say he was a miscast. One major thing, I guess I did not like seeing Batman and Superman in one movie. They have their own stories in very unique ways. Surely both fight against evil beings but in simple words, seeing Batman and Superman in the same movie, in the same scenes was not a pleasure for me. I hope they won't do it again. I like "band of heroes" types of movies only in X-Men, anything else looks not interesting to me. Also, there were some scenes that were supposed to make an impression on the viewer but the build up for that scenes and the execution were pretty poor which resulted in the lack of the expected impression, at least for me.

Didn't I like anything about the film? Of course I did. I liked the darker theme for example. I loved the new batman mask and costumes, some camera angles, fights and action. The metallic costume is epic. There were two specific moments (scenes + music) that kind of started to put me into the frequency that the movies I love usually put from the very beginning till the end, which are the part where Wonder Woman was checking the videos of other test subjects and the part during and after the funeral at the end.
The film feels that it could have been much greater but it just lacked some key elements some of which I mentioned above.
I don't know, maybe I will need to watch this movie a few more times (definitely not on the big screen) to better grasp or appreciate (?) it, but I don't think my opinion will change much.
I'm giving it a 6, maybe 6.5 at max, for the effort, and I do see the effort that was put into this film to make it great, however it looks it just didn't work from my point of view.
