Dawn of darkness and hollowness

Rating: 4/10 (29 March 2016)

First of all this movie should have went for the R rating because of how dark it is. I believe that the parents who go with their kids to this movie are irresponsible. Not only are the colours, skies, sets, clothes, time of day always very "dark", but the whole atmosphere and general feeling the movie also created by the actors just makes you feel downright uncomfortable and uneasy.
Second, I do not agree at all that the storytelling or editing or the multiple sub-plots are bad. What is bad is the content of those scenes, that is a big difference. Content is a general problem of this movie in the sense that it is totally lacking in it. If you scale down the whole plot of this "set of moving pictures" you are left with an advertising trailer for the next money-grabbing moving pictures, "a la Avengers style".
I do not agree that it is better than "Man of Steel". Even though that wasn't a great movie, it "made more sense" than Batman vs Superman. People who like this movie have just been fooled and schemed by the greedy con-artists at Hollywood. Why not make a realistic approach to the concept of Superman or Batman? Why not explore the real-life consequences of such ideas in a cinematic way? Nope, instead let's just make an extremely commercial brain-washing empty shell of a movie.
Regarding the acting, it is pointless to try and judge performances, because it just all seems unrealistic, unnatural and forced. It was as if I was seeing a theatrical performance done and directed by kids or teenagers.
Lois Lane's and Wonder Woman's story lines are completely irrelevant and unnecessary. However, Ben Afleck is a better choice for Bruce Wayne, giving the character that charm and personality it completely lacked with Christian Bale's version. Still, he was not believable as the ass-kicking Batman, he does not really seem like a tough guy. Jeremy Irons was completely wasted as he is a fantastic actor and unfortunately was not given enough screen time for development. Lex Luthor was an unbelievable joke, completely miscast. It was like the casting people or director said "hey you know how today many successful businessmen are like young and nerdy, let's go that way!" Cavill, once again a glorious plank with muscles, no charm, no personality, but way sadder and sometimes seeming evil or evil-looking.
I know optimism, lighter tones and even actually decent content in movies are outdated today and seem cheesy, but I miss the times when I left a movie theater without having such a bad feeling and a bad taste. Honestly, do you people actually like darkness and sadness, are we all emos and goth now? Why aren't we as the main sponsors of this industry not doing anything about the direction of movies today?
