Why so serious?

Rating: 4/10 (24 March 2016)

really had no high hopes for this because from the umpteenth trailer only a fool wouldn't be able to unspool the entire plot. That's alright, sometimes a movie can still come up with surprises and the journey is worth it. Unfortunately, BvS failed us (but it may not fail you).
My expectations are really low going in and it should by all means take little to buoy them up, but no, BvS lumbers along with no buoyancy, no purpose, and no clarity. Why does it kill it to add some levity to the narrative, instead of drowning us in self-importance and morose characters for 2h 31min. This is 151min which I totally feel every single minute of its passage, a skull-numbing and hollow def-con-one-yet-again experience. Why so serious?
There are so many things that didn't work for me and the missus (and also the idiot who was on his phone the whole time sitting next to me). Right on top of the heap is a Lex Luthor who got the short end of the stick. His motivations are drawn without clarity and his portrayal grating on my nerves. Next comes the narrative that tries to juggle so many threads and characters, and for me didn't get anything done satisfyingly right. This is equivalent to someone so scared that his dart won't hit the bullseye, and so he throws a whole bunch of darts at the same time but lo and behold, nothing lands up on the board let alone the bullseye.
This is a major disappointment. Sorry if I ruffled some feathers, I am just being honest and saying as it is for me.
