Very much a disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (24 April 2016)

DC makes great animated features. The Justice League series and independent DTV movies are very solidly entertaining. Same for the various animated Batman series as well. Even their live- action TV shows have been mostly compelling (well, except for Supergirl...). Yet somehow, most of their attempts to bring Superheroes to the Big Screen just fail to deliver. I except the first two Chris Reeve movies.
Man of Steel wasn't perfect, but held promise for something greater. That promise was broken in BvS. The casting, the convoluted plot, the apparent choice to not adequately light scenes so we could see what the heck was going on, etc. completely detract from the story they might have been trying to tell. It's very telling when so many reviewers even admit they're giving this substandard film a 10 "just to offset the negative ratings".
On a positive note, this has given me very low expectations for any future Justice League films; maybe I'll enjoy them more as a consequence. Ideally, they'll get their act together by then, but I'm not optimistic.
