Batman fans rejoice. Superman fans-prepare to be disappointed.

Rating: 5/10 (27 March 2016)

It is really evident that the writer of Argo has also been involved in the script for this movie. He has given his pal a wonderful role. Batman is the only one who has a consistent and meaningful role in the entire movie. He gets to defeat Superman, save Clark's mom and also live to let the tale of the fight with Doomsday. What more could Batman ask for?
Superman on the other hand, flies around like an alien completely detached and lost in his own thoughts. The scene at the US Senate is hilarious. Superman flies in, does not say a single word, everything blows up and then Superman flies off.
Superman's first encounter with Batman is also incredibly stupid. Batman chasing Lex's truck with Kryptonite. Superman suddenly appears and wrecks his car and asks him to stand down. He does not stop to ask what was Batman chasing and why? He does not show any interest in the cargo itself (a 80% destroyed truck gunning it at full speed). Superman is truly made to appear as all brawn and no brains.
For me, the most unforgiven act is the fight with Doomsday. It is one of the all time highlights of Superman's career where he makes the ultimate sacrifice. In the comic books (and in the animated movie), it is made clear why that needs to be done. No one else could stop him. No green rock, nobody except Superman. This was never done in this movie. We are made to believe that Lex's blood is so toxic that it made General Zod into Doomsday. Only Zack could go with such nonsense. For the sake of the idea of Justice League, Wonder Woman and Batman were introduced into the fight and Superman spends about 50% of the time laying injured and down on the ground, without any one-to-one fighting with Doomsday
The fight sequence of Superman and Doomsday has too many disruptions. What was the point of introducing the nuclear missile? It beggars belief that action was interrupted time and time again. What was wrong with showing a live action version of what was in the comics or the animated movie (or as close to it as possible)? For 90% of the audience, they would be seeing it for the first time and for the rest, it would be a real thrill to watch it from a different perspective.
It is the same as Warner making a Harry Potter movie and the director insisting on changing a key scene in the movie to be different from the book.
The DC movie franchise is cursed. We are doomed to be disappointed again and again.
